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

Mood for my work for the next four years:

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

“Urgent task”
“Only three months”

Do words have meaning anymore?

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) “sometimes okay to kill and eat dogs” while I didn’t bite was super fun.

Got into an argument with vegans on twitter.

Regret arguing with vegans. And 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.

This is the only non-twitter-twitter I’m bothering with at this point. *table flip*

Oh my god, he was the first comic I saw live.

…And remembering when that was, now I feel old.

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 “indeed, fuck chiropractic, tell me more.”

Article this summer from Men’s Health saying “fuck yeah check out this awesome chiropractor.”

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

Cochrane also says pot doesn’t work for pain. Lol.

Welp, packing it in.

Fair deal.

Stumbled across “bonesmashing” and “transmaxxing” from the incels of TikTok and honestly the internet was a mistake.

Stanford instructor removed for targeting Jewish students as ‘colonizers’ after Hamas attack on ... Stanford University relieved an instructor of teaching duties after he reportedly singled out Jewish students, calling them colonizers.

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.

My hair started growing in 3a/3b this year (it was a bit wavy before) and I am never wearing it straight again. Took a little trial and error but THESE RINGLETS:

Today I witnessed people I know pretty unambiguously defending terrorism.

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

🧵The Rev Science feed is now up & active, with inaugural members (hold on...this'll be a longer reveal as the scientists have *really* blessed BlueSky with their collective presence):

I hate to admit that the antivaxxers are winning, but arguing with them will quickly make you consider licking a Petri dish of smallpox.

These ghouls.

WGA announcement

A tentative agreement has been reached to end the WGA strike!!!

I had a really tempting offer to head to substack. Then my lawyer looked at the terms of the grant and we nope’d the fuck out of there.

The fact that the MSM is writing "Is masking coming back?" articles instead of "How do we prevent another mass-casualty event?" shows that we've entirely lost the plot. We're more concerned about our convenience than whether another 1.1M Americans die of COVID.
