How many times is too many to say β€œdayum” while listening to #TheLifeOfAShowgirl? The English teacher in me is wishing I could teach Hamlet this year… girl mama is…”yaaassss”.

I may have explained to my ND high schooler that she would see this headline. ”Well, that’s just stupid.”

When your friend in another country agrees with your assessment that β€œwe are fucked”….. yeah, it’s been a stiff drink sort of day.

The Washington Post Fired Me β€” But My Voice Will Not Be Silenced. I spoke out against hatred and violence in America β€” and it cost me my job.

Some personal news:

Dunblane. And when Sandy Hook happened, I naively thought my country would do the same.

How on earth you are continuing to share the stupid and not editorialize is a credit to your professionalism.

Please take care of yourself.

Officially tired of being told by old white guys that their way was best/right, when their way is what fucked things up in the first place.

Being a woman in the U.S. in 2025 is being a second-class citizen with no bodily autonomy and no pay equity and spending 10 years writing an essay about how casually men destroy women’s lives and not one day later, some fucker publishes a piece about how men not getting laid is a crisis

Why yes, I did just call someone a numpty. Apparently, Scots is often the only language that works.

I mean…. Accurate, but it’s a blow to the sense of self.

I know you’re new to Congress, Mr. Fine, but we don’t call our colleagues terrorists here. It just makes you look idiotic. At a time when MN Democrats have been targeted for assassination by a right-wing extremist, your rhetoric is seriously dangerous. Apologize now.
