Lady Disdain (she/her)

Buddy, you have to tax the fuck out of the rich, but the rest of us above the poverty level ALSO have to pay some taxes because that’s how this works. Tax me more! I like schools and roads and public transportation and libraries and making sure kids eat!

Booker sucks, man.

Right? Like, WHY pick incredibly difficult books?

If I tried getting through War and Peace again I’d be borrowing my niece’s middle grade reader books. This just seems like such BIZARRE framing.

Nearly a third of Pennsylvania gamblers are at risk of problem gambling − but few seek treatment And as online platforms make gambling easier and more convenient, some Pennsylvanians are gambling more often and may be more prone to developing problems.

Historians are quite capable of explaining the hellscape that is the US at this particular minute, and its kind of telling that you imagine we won't because it means you haven't been listening or reading

Bucks County, I swear…

If I read Ulysses again I would need a solid month of the most frivolous shit I could get my hands on. What the hell?

I had to look at mine for tax purposes and I strongly suggest you don’t look.

Hey, congrats! Marriage is a blast.

Because all the scenery in NJ is away from the turnpike! It’s fine!

I love that logo SO MUCH. Bring it back.

There’s a dude on Italy’s World Baseball Classic with a Jersey Turnpike tattoo, and bless.

I’m not mocking; I would absolutely get the old Mass Pike logo with the arrow through the pilgrim hat on me somewhere.

I have a ‘Directed by David Lynch’ one that’s going in there.

What if I just sat outside all day, because fake spring means no pollen?

I have finally honed my Etsy algorithm. Expect crafting.

See, I thought the end was predictable. I usually like his stuff, and this just was…meh.

It’s also possible that it seemed meh because we watched Hamnet last night.

Bugonia: Great acting. Weird. Meh.

Sounds right. I don’t remember that one but I Am An Old.

They do in this house.

Well, good to know Pierzynski is still a prick. Go away.

I KNOW. I was like ‘Girl, no sympathy. I spent a year learning enough German to get around. Don’t assume.’

Looks like I’m going to do a lot of swearing at the Union this year.

My SIL got salty because everyone in the Metro was giving her directions in French. Girl.

Sadly, no.

But also like, don’t go? There’s a whole town you could go look at. Why be dicks?

We had some serious Ugly Americans in our group in France and BOY do I wish they’d read a book first. Like, walking around the Papal Palace in Avignon being weird about Catholics.

Some people do, apparently. And some people still don’t listen.

And the history of fascism in Europe documentary.

I know he’s on PBS and isn’t in your face cool, but the man filmed an episode in Iran for a reason. He made a documentary on the history of fascism.
