Mission accomplished

Of all the horrors, it's the one that would destroy my life the fastest, which is really something!

With every atom of my being I hate rfk and all who have enabled his war on the public health. may he know hard days, and may those who have enabled him share in his suffering

I think about this roughly 17 times a day.

Some days I need to just sit with my anger, acknowledge it, and then let it pass through me. In its wake, I will remain.

Other days, haha, good fucking luck, I will never forgive and never forget the deliberate and vicious evils of this administration or the people who helped it come to pass.

Creamy strawberry green tea shake with brown sugar boba fixed me right up.

Perfectly said.

for every boomer who's like "why don't my kids call me/hang out with me more" all i can say is: are you making conversations fun, pleasant, and productive? or are you being a fuckin weirdo? because if it's the latter, there's your answer

A thing that's allowed me to stay in light contact with my GOP-aligned family is they've always been sus on the anti-vaxx agenda, but last weekend my mom said she's not sure COVID vaccines "work" and it was honestly one of the most heartbreaking moments of my life so far. The propaganda is working.

“we reviewed the science, listened to the experts, and completely ignored it all because we are fuckin dumbasses who want millions of people to die”

Cynthia Erivo singing Gethsemane made me weep. Unreal. A religious experience.

Friends, No Good Deeds is going to legit break me.

Millions more would've died during the covid pandemic without the mRNA discoveries and developments of Kati Kariko and Drew Weissman. And now millions will die in the future because of this decision.

i think it is hard for some people to really their heads around the reality that kennedy is staunchly anti-vaccine and thinks that people should suffer through disease and that those who die deserved it and that those who survive are a better order of human being

kennedy is going to kill a lot of people

And that by age seven, I could tell the difference between my mom's spankings and my father's full-on beatings? Lol.

Imagine me trying to explain to my urbane European therapist that in the culture I was raised in, you would have been considered a bad parent if you didn't spank your child.
