I love that I can text my wife “I’m not even watching it I’m just starting my car and cackling out loud thinking about the donut” and no she has no idea what I’m talking about either. #couplegoals

It took me a little while to source all of these from local bookshops (trying to not use Amazon), but I should have all but No Straight Road (out May 8) in a few days! Thanks, @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social!

So there's this website that will subscribe any email address of your choosing to a whole bunch of forms and mailing lists. Elon asked every federal employee to justify their job via email or be fired. Would be a shame if that inbox got all clogged. mailbait.info, HR@OPM.gov

Severance is so crazy I totally forgot about the sex house.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Please, for the love of all that is good in the world, cast Merritt Weaver in everything.

A recommendation: don't discover a rat infestation in your attic and basement so bad you have to rip out all the insulation during freezing weather. Then don't have your furnace break. Then, just for good measure, don't have the check engine light in your car turn on the same day.

Is every Freshman Lit/Drama professor psyched out of their minds that they can use Kendrick's Half Time show when teaching Jean Anouilh's ANTIGONE?

"Look, our Nazis didn't get the message here, either!"

Perhaps this shows a stunning amount of privilege or hubris, but I’ve never personally been scared of my government. Apoplectically angry at it? Yes. But never scared.

I’m scared.

Remember when our entire national identity (or the myth of our identity, anyway) was killing nazis? Those were the days. Those were the days.

Doomscrolling through the first Trump presidency (and yes also my mom dying and a pandemic) led to an anger problem, panic attacks, a nervous breakdown and therapy. Guess we’re just, um, taking that ride again? Crash Out 2: Electric Bugaloo

@rbreich.bsky.social:

If Musk can illegally take control over government agencies with no repercussions, I should be able to key every unsold Tesla and that’s cool, right?

(I’d say all Teslas but a lot of people bought them before he was well known to be whatever the hell he is now)

You feckless spineless “representatives” gonna do something then? Or just post about it? Or are we just supposed to be grateful, @schumer.senate.gov, that you told us what *you’re* supposed to do? Jesus Christ, why aren’t you forcefully removing Musk and his team? DO. YOUR. JOB.

If Musk can do this, why can’t anyone just do the same? Can we get a gang together to force our way in and remove his minions and lock the door? Clearly the law no longer matters. (Screenshot: WSJ)

I know I'm just farting in the wind, but so many people are scared. Trump is a(n adjudicated) rapist and a felon who represents the absolute worst of humanity. He and his con-artist cronies are destroying America. I have no idea how to stop them, but we must shield those they aim to harm.

Oh ok. So no matter how many times I watch HAMILTON I’m going to bawl from the bullet sequence to the gasp. Sweet baby Jesus how is it so good.

If you’re in need of comfort viewing tonight, join me in HAMILTON.

An apropos lyric: “Everything he does betrays the ideals of our nation.”

Any other geriatric millennials blasting Nine Inch Nails in the car today?

It was between crying to Taylor Swift or raging with Trent.

Rage wins today.

Sheesh. With such a crowded rotunda, perhaps COVID could do something good for once?

I am very grateful to be on set with some of my incredible students today — I have no idea how I get so lucky quarter after quarter. You know, on this completely ordinary Monday where nothing terrifying and dystopian is happening.

I’m watching a Shiba Inu eat melons on a Chinese app as a fuck you to my government. What a world we live in.

I don’t mean to be crass, but how am I supposed to take a shit without TikTok?

Wow. It happened. I am having some big feelings.

Wait can you really not share YouTube Shorts with another user the way we can in TikTok? Please tell me I’m dumb and missing something easy.
