Because of the pay gap, women have lost out on more than $60 trillion in wages since 1967.

Yes, trillion.

On an hourly basis, women were paid 18.0% less on average than men in 2024.

We must ensure fair wages for all.

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

I feel like I’m in crazy town. Y’all happy with yourselves? Feeling great? You fucking donkeys, look what you’ve done. Look what you’ve supported. You’ve been had and most of you don’t even see it yet.

World map with all countries in green except for the United States, symbolizing U.S. withdrawal from the World Health Organization. Caption from '@IdiotBenevolent' says "The updated World Health Organization map is a sick joke."

The joke is on us.

Everything is overstimulating af today. Repetitive noises, all the things clinging to me, tugging at my skin. My hair is attacking me, I’m prickly and pissy. I want to cry and also maybe make someone else cry. This is how the next 4 yrs will be, won’t it?

No. Nope. I won’t have it. Breathe…

HEY.

HEY. Yes, you. 🫵🏾

DO NOT REACT TO EVERY PIECE OF NEWS. It is all trash. It is all a dumpster fire. They are flooding us with cruelty and 404 errors and Executive Orders.

Take a deep breath. It's only day 2.

Get back in your body. Log off even for 5 mins and stare at wall.

This is a marathon

Sadly, one is just as unlikely the rest here in my neck of the woods.

I would like a really good bagel. Also, democracy, equality, a sense of security, a little fucking hope. But yeah, and a proper bagel.

On this bitterly cold morning self care looks like sourdough toast with butter, lemon curd, and salt, with a mug of hazelnut coffee. Do something kind for yourself and for someone else today. We all need it.

It just occurred to me that the election was one month ago yesterday. How is that even possible? We have to be at least 3.5 years into his presidency already, right? RIGHT?! Fuuuuuuuck.

Listening to my daughter practicing oboe for the upcoming Christmas concert makes me weepy. The music feels like a glimpse at her true self. #oboe #orchestra #christmas2024

Totally acceptable.

It’s that time of year where I just ate cheeseball for dinner because I’ve been cooking for 11 hours and could not stand the thought of fixing one more thing.

Is there anything in the world that smells better than onions caramelizing in butter? #thanksgiving2024 #thanksgivingprep #fucktrump

Feeling murderous. Wearing my feminine rage tshirt. Watching Killing Eve and taking notes while I slice and chop mounds and mounds of onions for tomorrow. Not a single tear shed because fuck you.

She’s going to remember where she stood as a 17yo pre-voter looking to her future, and where her momma stood. #november52024 #finstagram

Disgusting how not surprised I am.

Im fucking tired, y’all. How are republicans not already exhausted at the very thought of cleaning up his messes and backpedaling his idiocy and incompetence for the next four years?

I don’t think I joined Twitter nearly this early on, but it’s been too many years to remember, and too many years since I quit. So weird waiting for the world to catch up.

Now Pinterest? That shit I was knocking on the door with potato salad on my hip and a bottle of wine in my armpit early for.

Exhaustedly, disgustedly furious.
