Laughing at Donald Trump saying he'd definitely feel comfortable living in Zohran Mamdani's New York on the same day that half the consultant brain-poisoned Democratic party voted to condemn socialism

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

My life would be improved if I met more mysterious women in the woods.

my mom: does it take the excitement out of your birthday if you know what you're getting
me: [tears streaming down my face while i imagine using a vacuum cleaner without being worried it's going to set a fire] no not at all

i'm turning 32 soon so naturally my bday presents from my parents are: new tires for my 22 year old car, a new vacuum cleaner to replace the one that smells like burning rubber whenever i use it, and money to put toward my ER bill from earlier this year

if only telling myself "you gotta get your shit together" was as easy as actually getting my shit together

A drawing of a big beetle. It is saying “what the fuck is going on”

someone tell him

Mamdani did this without tacking to the center by accepting republican framing and throwing marginalized people under the bus or even apologizing for being socialist; something that party operatives who actually want to win might learn from.

on the one hand it's like objectively good to have time on my hands to process my recent panic/depressive episode, which i'm coming out of but still dealing with. on the other hand, i do feel like i'm watching my days pass by with my hand to a window pane.

everyone keeps asking me how i'm doing being government-assigned unemployed and i turn into that "laughs but does not answer" david lynch meme

I think one of the saddest things about being a millennial is remembering a time when technology was advancing in a way that made life better and easier and more exciting instead of actively, intentionally worse

💕💕💕💕💕

💕💕💕💕

💕💕💕💕

was it a good idea to change my mental health meds mere days before getting furloughed? who could say.

happy birthday!!!! 🎉💕

i'm not counting myself here because i am a weenie and my body has humbled myself in numerous ways the last few weeks

as someone who has been struggling with physical illness and subsequently debilitating anxiety for the last three weeks, i gotta say, people with chronic illness are literally the strongest people alive

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems... SIMON: What? SHAPIRO: ...Or saying... SIMON: You imagine that? SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over. SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level. SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this. SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

my daughter really captured my essence in this portrait of me “at work”

THE MEME IS REAL

💕💕💕 thank you jules :(

my mother is avoiding my phone calls because i know she's tired of hearing me complain about how sick i am. on the other hand, my cat threw up under my bed in solidarity, so i know who my real friends are—

in the week since this tweet i have been to the ER and not really gotten a whole lot better despite being on every possible medication known to man and god so im taking applications for someone to take a hit out on me

good news is i've convinced my cat to sit on my chest and his purrs are healing me, even if just emotionally

im having really bad heartburn for the first time in my life due to medication side effects (bodies suck) and wow how do people regularly deal with this, i feel like i am dying scoob

Today is the last day to make public comment opposing this proposed change!
