Karl's Girlfriend

The people resisting are doing hard and brave things. If you're not one of the people taking action it's easier to convince yourself all hope is lost then to rekon with your own cowardice.

Realized today that 50% of my bridesmaids are bisexual. We travel in packs.

Saw garbage (the band) for free because my fiancee works for the venue. Got to drink for free because I organized a union with the bartender. Life has never been better.

The most offensive Charlie Kirk takes are from east coast leftists who think that good marksmen don't exist on the left. Excuse me. The Midwest exists.

no offends if this is you but if you're thinking "this is going to make the right do fascism" they're already there. they blew up a boat with 11 people on it for being immigrants. they're kidnapping US citizens and trying to rendition them to Uganda. do you think we're on a trajectory to peace

As always, be careful what you say on the internet. We don’t need to go to the gulag today

Feel the same way tbh

Every year I grow jalapeños and every year I absolutely wreck myself when I use them and am reminded that homegrown jalapeños are 10× hotter then the store bought version.

Yesterday a 19 yo coworker asked me if an airfryer was a good gift for a girl he liked. I answered an enthusiastic "yes!" and then realized that's a 32 year old woman answer and not a 19 year old girl answer.

The hardest part of a bad day is remembering that you still have to pick up the pieces and try again tomorrow.

I am begging Americans to stop thinking about themselves as consumers and start thinking about themselves as workers.

I never thought I'd be the Karen shouting I'M WITH THE BAND at a venue worker but then again I never thought I'd encounter a venue worker who tried to seat my disabled mother solo without a support aid. So alas.

I have my first jury trial this week and I don't think I'll be prepared no matter how much I prep.

Practicing for my wedding by putting a full face of makeup on and then exposing myself to things that make me cry and trying hard not to cry. Luckily I am a litigator so I have a lot of opportunities to do this.

In retrospect, my 8th grade MySpace boyfriend Kyle really prepared me for being in a long distance relationship as an adult. See mom, talking to Kyle all night on AIM was good for me!! 😤😤

I guess I'm not a doomer so there is a chance we stop the decline of American democracy before we start seeing state court collapse. But I'd probably wait on law school until I saw that shake out. Because if it goes the other way...

What kind of lawyer you gonna be if there are no laws?

American courts were already pretty kangaroo (search and seizure jurisprudence anyone?) But the modern Supreme Court has put that into hyperdrive and we are already seeing those effects on the lower federal courts.

I dont think AI is the reason you shouldn't go to law school. I think you shouldn't go to law school because the American judicial system is rapidly collapsing. Do you really want to spend your career pretending in a kangaroo court?

Please stop calling fat women brave for wearing crop tops. ☠️☠️☠️

"Nothing will get better" leftists seem to turn into "so we might as well join them" fascists real quick.

Struggling with unrelenting obsessive anxious thoughts tonight. The chances of catching rabies because Karl killed and ate a groundhog is logically slim. But what if...I thought about it...over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and

Planning a wedding and organizing a union at the same time exposes you to some of the most unhinged behaviors.

Keep posting...dissociate into the void...no feelings...only takes.

Talking to my fiancé on the phone and then immediately opening bluesky because if I let myself feel my feelings about how much I miss him I'd cry.

I have been engaged approximately two months and I am already so over child free wedding discourse. People who have child free weddings act like they're doing something sooooooo special and soooo unique as if all of American culture doesn't exclude children from public life.

Pros of organizing with people in their teens/twenties: endless energy and youthful optimism

Cons of organizing with people in their teens/twenties: I have to learn how to use discord

May this be your sign to organize your side gig. All work has value!

Hey hey! We unionized! Meet Dyno Detroit Climbing Workers United! I am so proud to work, climb, and organize with these outstanding people.

Wild the Healthcare shortage has gotten so bad that when I call they're just like "yeah sorry nothing available bye!" meanwhile I only have like 2 months to get this appointment in before insurance wont pay for it.

Mychart prompted me to make an appointment because my pre authorization was improved by insurance. The appointment wizard says there are no available times and to call the office. So I call the office and receptionist says there is no available times and then tells me to have a great day.
