Note for Democratic politicians: you don't have to start your condemnations of ICE raids with "We all want to catch violent criminals, but..." Just say "These raids have nothing to do with catching criminals and everything to do with terrorizing innocent minority groups."

My biggest contribution to the English language and society as a whole, no doubt.

I just opened BS for the first time in a while- I need to use it more often.

I substantially underestimated corporate and institutional cowardice in the US.

Hey. It’s that time of year. Get your fucking flu shots AND your covid boosters. The 5G reception is unbelievable.

Ooooooohhhhh I need to check in on what’s happening over there.

That was a very hectic three months of my life.

A bunch of y’all started following me the last few days. I’ve been totally inactive here for a while.

What absurdity of mine lured you over here?

Not to get too political but I agree with the new VP candidate that it’s probably best for everyone if we don’t have kids starving and bleeding on themselves in school, even if their parents are poor

Is there a group on social media you’ve given up on arguing with entirely? A group that’s not worth the time or mental bandwidth for the sub-basement level possibility of a payoff?

Personally, I’ll discuss vaccines and try to convince someone who’s undecided, but I don’t fuck with anti-vaxxers.

Getting him to say that it was (paraphrase) β€œsometimes okay to kill and eat dogs” while I didn’t bite was super fun.

Got into an argument with vegans on twitter.

My roommate keeps telling me I should start a podcast.

I look at the podcast landscape and I’m petrified to inaction.

I know my writing matters to like four people but I’m not convinced a microphone wouldn’t just add to the hum of noise.

What makes a podcast matter to you?

The idea is to show women that any man could do this to us at any time, anywhere, with impunity

I know this isn’t the right option for everyone but…

People told me I was overreacting to the onslaught of anti-roe legislation when I had my fallopian tubes removed. If I could do it over again, I’d have asked them to take the uterus too.

We’re just a womb to these monsters.

The person who emailed me is still on the editorial staff at Men’s Health, slightly different title now. Take that for what you will.

Email two years ago from an editor at Men’s Health saying β€œindeed, fuck chiropractic, tell me more.”

Article this summer from Men’s Health saying β€œfuck yeah check out this awesome chiropractor.”

I haven’t indulged in day drinking in a while.

Stumbled across β€œbonesmashing” and β€œtransmaxxing” from the incels of TikTok and honestly the internet was a mistake.

Jesus Christ. Demanding Jews identify themselves, singling them out, and condemning them. At Stanford.

My mom and brother had curly hair, mine just came in late, hah.

Start with dripping wet hair. Curl cream, mousse (optional but recommended), gel, scrunch like crazy, and diffuse (air drying works too), and an itsy bit of hair oil to break up the gel.

Today I witnessed people I know pretty unambiguously defending terrorism.

Hooboy that’s enough discussion about the war for me.
