why is he just so effing dreamy

I love this show! I have so many thoughts I wish I could talk to people about

scientists and scholars estimate we are only a decade away from learning all the lyrics to "black" by pearl jam

I loved this book

I need him to narrate a Headspace meditation app and talk me to sleep

STANLEY! I need you!!!!

Forget armed bodyguards: I need someone to invent an Auntie app. It pairs you with an Auntie (any gender/race) about a generation older than you. They spend the day on the phone with you, tell you not to worry because you’re amazing, and make you give the phone to strangers so they can talk you up

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

Ok so what is mitt Romney gonna do about it

Satirical headline saying the NRA forgot to rise up against a tyrannical government

How embarrassing!

I keep waiting for my kids to fall in love with Strega Nona but it hasn’t happened yet

Here are the options on the table (which are not mutually exclusive):

1. House Dems bring articles of impeachment*

2. Senate Dems play constitutional hardball and obstruct everything

3. State AGs litigate (and prosecute) everything they can

4. Citizens march en mass

Bookshop: Buy books online. Support local bookstores. An online bookstore that financially supports local independent bookstores and gives back to the book community.

Big news. Bookshop.org is now offering eBooks!

Bookshop is a big online consortium of indie bookstores. You shop like Amazon, but all the profits go to indies! There's no need to shop-- or to sell your books-- through Amazon again. I've used it for a couple years now.

Erase Bezos from your biz!

What did they backpedal on?

This is how you do it...

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

What does the fight look like, this time? (Asking, truly. Last time didn’t work. It can’t be outrage. It can’t be disengaging)

I finally deactivated today. I’ve never been super active but enough’s enough

boy i'd love to see the data on the other end of these questions (and the demographics)

A medium-long-distance photograph of a burning Tesla Cybertruck parked just outside the doors of a Trump hotel. Sunlight is angling into the darkened area from the left. The flames are orange and clearly defined, sitting squarely in the truck and leaping through the roof and the window, giving off a vile-looking near-black smoke that veils the squarish tiers of the outdoor chandeliers on the canopy above. Above the brass-framed pair of glass double doors is more brass, in a panel with raised brass letters reading TRUMP. The photo credit reads Alcides Antunes/UGC, via Reuters.

Right, OK, 364 more days to go

Unboxing videos/reels make me irrationally angry

I am worth the discomfort I feel in this moment is something I needed to hear today (and regularly)

It's SUPER easy to make on your own. Like, buy bones, throw them in a pot, simmer for a million years, strain and keep in the freezer. You can get crazy with flavorings, but while working out sensitivities, my worst part is feeling hungry. This allows for a baseline nutritious. good luck!!!

Be prepared to live off bone broth for a minute while you figure it all out

Write because you are going to run out of everything else: time, money, fucks to give. But you will never run out of your own bullshit. You could live forever on this unlimited fuel of emotional damage and charm. Plus people think you're funny. You're such a good writer. Live más.

Behold, a sheet of music proclaiming "All I Want for Christmas is You." The notes, however, are Hark the Herald Angels Sing. And oddly, it works. You're welcome.

This works. I am not sorry.
