The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

Snakes used to be birds; we celebrate this by wearing feather boas.

Took our kids to the carnival and offered to get my husband a beer. As I walked away, I realized I didn't ask him what he wanted, so I turned around and shouted, "STELLA? STELLA!?!" like some bougie Stanley Kowaski.

Chemtrails are my favourite conspiracy theory because they're such a caveman response to something strange in the sky.

Reading William Zinsser’s “On Writing Well.” Maybe my 4th or 5th book specifically on the craft of writing. Common themes I’m noticing:

1. Adverbs and adjective should be used sparingly. Don’t beef up a weak verb, use a better verb.
2. Use fewer words. Cut anything not necessary, not doing work.

if a major politician held an emergency rally about the current ongoing coup by the richest man in the world, I think people would go to it. Shit is well and truly fucked. I can think of a couple of people who should do that right now.

The Nazis burned irreplaceable groundbreaking LGBTQ research and somehow that got translated into the culture as "throwing away Garfield comics is a sin".

They are expanding their McCarthyite war on diversity to include people with disabilities, and doing it very clearly. Should someone in a wheelchair be able to work for the FAA? I think an overwhelming majority of Americans would say "of course" but that's not what we're hearing from Trump.
