THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

Every year we see a spike on car accidents around DST. Please, stay home if you can, and have caffeine and avoid distractions if you're going out. Our brains weren't meant for these shifts.

Trans Folks and Black Folks whi will have to suffer it yet again and are sick of it and understand this is the same damn thing with a different coat of glitter paint: “Yes. This.”

White Folks with nothing on the ball and nothing to sacrifice: “Future Thoughts and Prayers”

IF Gavin Newsom is on a ballot

THEN me and many others will refuse to vote for him

THEREFORE instead of bitching at me and others like me

YOU should take the *years* you have and make sure that doesn't happen if you actually fucking care

BECAUSE my position is immutable

Oh that's good!!

Thing that really gets my goat is the way people are eager to fund this bullshit but you need eleven layers of analysis and a ton of collateral if you want to open a small grocery store in a food desert.

aaaa blessings from pancake pups 💜💜

if I see a "buy/read my book" post by someone I know, or by someone I don't know but reposted by someone whose opinion I trust, I will pretty much always reshare it and i think more people should do the same tbh

Absolutely 🥰

OMG that is BRILLIANT

Yeah, at that point I was seething mad & my specific trauma makes me respond with rage rather than cower, so I smacked that thing away from myself and the LOOK on his face was absolutely precious.

Bruised my arm, but worth it.

Oh yeah, so many still think women are property to be earned or won. The prize from the claw machine. It's disgusting.

If it's a city, maybe they come across a place with some potted plants? Or one of those pedestrian plazas with the chairs. I had one of those chairs slung at me once.

I was just thinking through the nasty stuff my femme exes said to me & I gotta say, it wasn't so... I guess, obvious? Like still mean, still abusive, but not so "I'll say you are worth nothing because I really wish I was better than you, even though I'm not."

Glorious! (Love the color too!)

It is sunny as all get out here & my brain is in a duel to the death over SPRING CLEANING vs WORDSTIME NOW

He might throw in a golddigger angle, or suggest she slept her way to her position.

My collection of "men being nasty":

"You're not the sexy kind of psycho."
"What are you good for if you won't do [x] for me?"
"You think you're complex but you're not."

& the one that really got me -

"You're not good enough for that. You should just settle for what you get."

Gen Z *men* don't want kids. They want the visible status supported by women's unpaid labor.

And Gen Z women see through their shit.

"The data labelers in Kenya described seeing footage of people naked, watching porn, and talking about crimes and protests. Faces are often blurred, the story said, but sometimes are visible, depending on the lighting."

"Slurs Filled a Chat Created by a Republican Party Official in Florida After the secretary of the Miami-Dade County Republican Party created the chat for college students, it devolved into slurs against Black and Jewish people."

"Slurs filled." "Devolved into." Even their coverage of blatant racism and antisemitism is done in the passive voice.

I had such a great time being interviewed by Renan. He asked some great questions and also gave me a chance to shout-out @culagovski.net and @theahmedraafat.bsky.social. Give this one a read!

If I'm reading this right, *50% to 90%* of voters at high-turnout locations are being redirected to their precincts????

If that is causing voters to just give up, it would explain the massive undercount for Crockett thus far today in Dallas.
