I've made it 40 years w/ same mindset (and maybe 1/16 the success). Had to deal with *a lot* of setbacks, namely burnout from trying to carve out a career in a dying field (theatre) and now burnout from a toxic industry (nonprofit trade assoc). I respect hustle but not hustle culture. Despise it.
Listening to US & Israel hawks paraded on CNN saying this if you read between lines
" If Iran hits back we must escalate bc they're strong.
If Iran doesn't hit back, we must finish the job bc they're weak.
The only constant is more bombs,more killing,more $ on their forever war"- Ben Rhodes
'fucking sucks' is an apt descriptor
As I try to navigate trying to (unrealistically) buy a home I can't afford (because the rent is going to be so high I might as well be paying a mortgage), the phrase "number MUST go up" is even more infuriating because of how goddamn expensive and out of reach just being alive is.
Exactly what I want to hear about a follow-up to Sorry To Bother You.
Absolute class act response from Mayor Mamdani.

Gimme all ur fuckin money, internet.
New: Rep. Andy Ogles, who said Muslims don’t belong in America, represents one of the largest Muslim populations in the American South.
His Tennessee district includes a neighborhood known as Little Kurdistan.
Some Muslims in his district fear his comments will fuel harassment and violence
Real wake up call scenario when coworkers are crying and expressing more sympathy and care over another's cat dying than than did me over my dad dying.
Fuck this place.
I feel like I've been working every day for a solid month. I have not had a real day off since Martin Luther King Jr. Day.
Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now
The gullible and hateful pseudo feminists who helped propel this cause share significant responsibility for the erosion of our actual rights that has, again, OBVIOUSLY resulted from anti-trans propaganda and policy
Just a PSA regarding your job listings folks but if your listing:
- has a bullet point that says "fully work-from-home" and
- notes that while based in a certain major city, "80% of your staff is remote"
Maybe have some *EXPLICIT* language noting and clarifying said posting ISN'T remote!

Man.
The world fucking is on fire.
So go be as corny and cringe as you wanna be without hurting people.
Live whats left of your only life.
If you can’t be free in your body at least go be free in your mind and soul.
Fuck the haters.
So crazy how the 90’s had an ad campaign for sucking dick. Better time, ya ask me
"Jews don't belong in American society."
Imagine a sitting member of Congress tweeting that. You can't. Thankfully, it'd never happen. And *if* it did, it'd be the end of their career and the biggest story in America.
But Ogles can say this about Muslims without any censure.
I am a ghost and I can write, and no one's giving me $164,000 what in THE FUCK
Only once have I spent $100 on a vinyl record - it was the record this guy put out of his dad's jazz recordings.
I also had every intention of gifting my own dad "The Deadwood Bible." Sadly, that will never happen now.
If you love film, you owe yourself even one lil treat from his store.

We'll get you decked out in the finest velvet undershirts and grease-stained sweatpants and get you upgraded from lights to to full 100s soon enough. And not just two, but tree gold chains and maybe a diamond pinky ring too. Real quality shit.

1000% agree with you Brianna
Truly nothing more hollow and unhelpful than "sending love" and its derivatives.
One of those days where I spiral 1) b/c of housing/financial issues (don't make enough $$) b/c 2) I'm in a job that could not care less about me as a human being (or pay enough $$) and 3) b/c my dad died, caring for my mom is *at best* a steep hill.
It's all $$$. Feels like everything is just sick.
"You can type this shit but you sure can’t say it"
I wrote about how the US and Israel carried out an attack on an Iranian girls school on par with the OKC bombing and US media relegated it to a back page story. No stand alone evening news segments, no front page stories, it made A11 in the NYT then everyone moved on.
I'm okay it's just my birthday. I'm 40. My dad died two weeks ago. I'm watching one of the worst SUPERMAN movies (THE QUEST FOR PEACE) and it's making me cry because my dad is gone.
my brother is a pastor *in Oklahoma*, and we were having lunch a few days after our dad passed away. BEFORE all all this happened. we were talking about faith and how the right has abused aspects of his faith, and touched on this very topic and even he agrees that it's unhinged.
