Not like I need more things to be angry about, but I am pretty angry that it took 35+ years to get confirmation that my natural hunger level has no relation to my mild traumas or relationship with my dad.

I tried to tell therapists for years that my overeating isn't emotional and they ALWAYS smiled indulgently and then repeated themselves.

On week 5 of wegovy and holy shit, is this feeling why all of those skinny doctors and therapists kept saying "just listen to your body" and "eat intuitively"???

I have traveled to places in other countries where they reuse, reuse, reuse and seem to disregard product trends and I never had so much of a culture shock.

I saw a post last month that asked people what culture they identify with

I've meditated on this for weeks

My best answer is "middle class consumer culture." Consumerism feels more like a guiding ethos in my daily life more than any ethnic, religious, or geographic cultural connections do.

I want more female characters like Carol from Pluribus and Nesta from ACOTAR and Navarro in True Detective: Night Country.

Messy. Angry. Challenging. Driven by their own internal logic and needs. A little selfish. But lovable in how relatable they are in those ways.

Well this is terrifying. 32 helocopters have flown right over our condo this evening, I guess coming back from the parade.

Army soldiers jogging down 14th Street by the Sydney Yates building at 7:30 am.

It was not a normal commute this morning, for sure.

We’re deeply disappointed in much of the U.S. media. Grateful, however, to international journalists who are telling the truth.

My partner just led the whiney dog into my office and told him, "if you want to complain, you have to talk to management." 😆

I have two big writing projects due soon, so of course, I am quickly checking off everything on my to-do list related to my condo upkeep and volunteer work.

Magna Carta!!

Protect the commons, limit the king, and trial by jury of your peers.

Yes, 1297 was the final final version. (I wrote the US national archives labels for the copy the museum exhibit on loan)

A 1300 "copy" is still a big deal!

On LinkedIn and it's bizarre to see all of my former government colleagues with new non-government jobs.

What DOGE is doing, closing programs and firing experts, this isn't just something we lost. This is a loss that will echo for a long time. So much knowledge and expertise is being swept away.

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.

That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.

So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

Whew, she has. I've been reading the Post for decades and her evolution has both frustrated and inspired me.
