So, friends — who here either:

💬 Insists on keeping your read receipts ON (for texts)

💬 Firmly believes in keeping your read receipts OFF

📱 If you have strong opinions on text read receipts — specifically regarding friendships — I want to talk to you for an article!

I’m writing an article about matching with guys on a dating app, only to learn they weren’t being honest about their politics in their profile (specifically, their profile said “moderate” — and they, well, weren’t 😩)✍🏻

🤫 Anonymous submissions are totally cool.

The “No Kings” protest was a powerful showing of hope and mobilization against President Trump’s attacks on democracy. @jimacosta.bsky.social explains in conversation with Sen. @dougjones.bsky.social:

Personal stories request: I'm writing an article about what it's like to date someone who is not officially divorced yet.

Success stories AND cautionary tales are welcome!

Anonymous submissions are totally cool.

Proof this guy is full of SITH.

While I’m pleased to see that Hakeem Jeffries is calling for #PeteHegseth’s firing/resignation (Chuck Schumer just called for “accountability”), these statements are no better than a hypothermic Jack Dawson promising to “write a strongly worded letter to the White Star Line about all of this.”

If you voted for Trump and you live in a red state, don’t be surprised when your kids cut you off 10 years from now.

I've never been a fan of King Charles, but I loved seeing his photos with Volodymyr Zelenskyy today.

Because I'm sure they infuriated our Dear Leader.

Who is NOT a king.

Dear President Zelensky and the people of #Ukraine,

You don't deserve this.

We are ashamed.

We are embarrassed.

Signed,

I'm Not Your "Little Girl" Want to smash the patriarchy? Then stop accepting it, white women.

😡 What happened to Dr. Teresa Borrenpohl in Idaho last week triggered me on several levels.

😡 If you were too, then you’re gonna want to read this week’s post.

😡 Because we are NOT anybody’s “little girl.”

I don't know about you, but I am so through with people who aren't using their platforms to speak out against the Trump-Musk administration.

Just say SOMETHING.

Otherwise, I'm gonna view you as complicit.

First measles death is reported in the West Texas outbreak that's infected more than 120 people A person who was hospitalized with measles has died from measles in West Texas. It's the first since the outbreak began late last month.

A person hospitalized with measles in West Texas has died, the first in an outbreak that's infected more than 120 people.

Weak men like Ed Bejarana can't handle women like Dr. Teresa Borrenpohl standing up for basic decency.

My ab*sive boss at Rolling Stone was no different. When I called him out on his bullsh*t, he warned me, "You're in serious trouble."

We've allowed men like this to behave this way for too long.

Attention men: Don’t EVER call a grown woman a “little girl.”

Elon Musk demanding all federal workers explain their jobs is giving major “Office Space.”

Do not listen to anything Donald Trump says about #autism.

Sparks of Joy We're in an extremely dark period right now, but we need to keep the joy close at hand -- for our own good.

Make sure you find joy in between the anger — because they win if you don’t.

Tomorrow's Substack post is my feeble attempt to help us find some joy in our lives.

To be clear: It acknowledges the dark facts of our nation (I'm not a "let's think positively!" kind of girl). BUT, I'm diving into what's making me happy right now because that's how we win this fight. 1/2
