I tried but apparently it costs more than $5 😩

Me: do not go to the bookstore. your TBR stack is a mile high. your bank account is drying up. your children have no space to play because there is no floor, only Book.

also me: mmmkay but I’m just gonna grab one more

WHY AM I GETTING FUNDRAISING TEXTS WITH LESS THAN TWO HOURS LEFT BEFORE THE GOVERNMENT SHUTS DOWN

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

could we rebrand shutting up as a luxury good

The vibes were, unfortunately, correct

Hold on who said I wasn’t laughing AND concerned?? I contain multitudes

The harm that Voddie Baucham inflicted on women and children will remain with us for years. Here are a few pieces I wrote on Baucham over the last decade and a half that documented that harm:

You call it spiraling, I call it spiRALLYing the anxiety troops

TJ Maxx is a great solution for this

This is it.

Cancel culture, but for real. The Twitter Files, but for real. Actual, unadulterated collusion between the government and media-owning corporations to censor Americans.

Shame on the MAGA libertarians and fake-heterodox civility cops who helped pave this road to authoritarianism.

Thank goodness, I need someone else to appreciate Nate Bargatze with 🎉

Learning, per usual, he’s one of theirs, I encourage 2 action points:

1. Note of everyone who revealed themselves & cut them from your life. They weren’t mistaken, they didn’t misspeak. They were ready for war.

A “false alarm” ≠ deescalation. MAGA isn’t standing down. They’re lying in wait.

Haven’t stress eaten Goldfish like this since freshman year of college

🚨 I cannot recommend enough IMMEDIATELY going to your settings and turning off autoplay before you scroll any further. The closeup of Charlie Kirk being hit by a bullet is gruesome and extremely graphic. I did not look for it and it was right there in my feed.

the real war on Christmas is US trade policy

We used to be a third world country in a Gucci belt. Now we’re a third world country in a UFC championship belt.

Sorry but I actually think it’s pretty evil to try to play both sides when you’re speaking about a literal eugenicist like RFK.

Amplifying > listening

Because “listening” gets survivors to vent the injustice in an environment friendly to the abusers while giving those friendly to abusers a preview of the damning evidence.

It’s the same ploy used in ⚪️ spaces/ churches against minorities. Champion advocates by giving them platforms.

Susie Wiles screaming and throwing herself in front of the door where the cameras are as Karoline Leavitt continues to insist that “he’ll do fine, he’s got enough Adderall in him to power Detroit”

Someone commented yesterday that my 2 year old is such a vibe, and nothing sums that up better than her waking up this morning yelling “I WANT cha-cuh-LET” (chocolate) over and over.

Going off of nothing but vibes here, but I feel like we’re in for a weird September.

2. We should still openly speculate anyway because nothing punctures the image of a vigorous, robust, alpha male badass strongman faster than the vibe that he is one bad cold or Big Mac away from keeling over.

Washington, DC under military occupation in last August 2025, with banners proclaiming the absolute power of the primus inter pares

This is a real photograph of Washington, DC this week, where the United States president has ordered military occupation in peacetime, and ordered the display of colossal portraits of himself.

Another day in America
Another day where we pick up our children,
hug them a little tighter,
and thank God that it wasn’t their school
