Sinners may be the best movie I have ever seen. Highly recommend it.

From a local protest today

Today, the day of my birth, has had a lot of historic events. Including the death of a Republican President. If the universe really wanted to give me a present…

I don’t know that we should be talking about Kissinger valuing freedoms. There are a ton of Laotians and Cambodians who would like a word.

Short Horsman

How do you know the chickens had red feathers?

My tiny Midwest town has a little boba shop and it is my favorite thing. Is it traditional? No idea. But the blended pineapple milk tea with raspberry popping boba is amazing.

Just bought a copy of this a minute ago!

Just applied for my Real ID. I had backups for my backups for paperwork. Watched at least 5 people get sent back for not having the right papers. Is that what not having anxiety is like? And they were fine about it?

I went on a date with a guy whose profile picture was him with Gov. Pritzker. It was like being on a date with Tucker Carlson. And he ate the food he told me to order because he wasn’t hungry.

Ad to join the Joann Fabrics team to take an extra 30% off store closing prices.

What in the hell? Join our team for 3 weeks before we shut down all locations! It’ll be fun! We swear! And we’ll probably pay you!

The Gavel Gavel podcast has a multi-part breakdown.

Sitting at a coffee shop overhearing a woman talk about how great private/home schools are while pushing her daughter to utilize the benefits of the local public school.

Oh, and she’s on the board of one of those bullshit “pregnancy centers”.

Spending my lunch hour on the phone with a utility company…

How’s your Friday going?

Do you recommend any books we could read to learn more?

Want - The Shire - Seems chill

Don’t Want - King’s Landing. Nobody seems to be having fun there.

A small torbie cat sits between an open laptop with writing software displayed and a lamp. The cat has a disdainful expression.

I don’t know who judges my writing more harshly, my inner editor or this cat.

It is a truth universally avoided that as soon as a writer has a project to work on their house is suddenly spotless and their to do list empty.

Went to see DJ James Kennedy on Black Wednesday last year.

New post, if you’re into history your high school teachers forgot to tell you… kt-byrde-writes.ghost.io/buried-histo...

I think most people are intuitively aware of this but something like the official White House account posting an “ASMR” video of shackled immigrants is not just cruel for its own sake, it’s intentional envelope-pushing to ramp up to desensitization over inhumane detention, camps, and deaths

Sometimes, although it may be insufficient to lighten the darkness in your own soul, your light can eliminate the darkness in someone else’s, at least for a moment.

Just heard an ad on Peacock use “Gulf of America”. Wtaf. 🤢

I realize there’s probably a good reason for it, but hearing a drug ad say “don’t take if you’re allergic” to this medication makes me die a little inside.

This! If history has taught us nothing else, it’s that totalitarians use these stupid laws to test your willingness to go along. Protest everything. While we still have the ability to.

Orange cat with his tail wrapped around the post of the cat tree he’s sitting on

Red alert: Look at the tail!

Pig farmers become more popular.

A friend taught at an army school in Iceland in the 70s or 80s. Her roommate had a friend from Denmark who was a Communist. One night he drunkenly told the roommate that individual houses keep Americans from organizing because you don’t interact with your neighbors like you do in apt buildings.

Definitely all possibilities! But I can’t help but wonder if he didn’t watch it all go down and decide that he would go above and beyond to make her happy and also mind what went into the food.
