Ugh, why do I still care about this guy? He's an asshole, a coward, was a willing partner in an emotional affair, and he's going to chuck over his close friend of over a decade because his controlling, still married girlfriend of nine months says so. Fuck, idk who's the bigger idiot: him or me.

I should move and start doing useful stuff. But I am morally and legally unable to.

The #SurrenderCaucus. Bunch of feckless Quislings and Neville Chamberlains

I'm With Her dropped a new music video!

Talk about saying the quiet part out loud.

If you're planning on joining the protests tomorrow, bundle up, Midwestern friends! For Minneapolis, the temp is forecasted to be -5 at noon.

Dress in enough layers. If you feel like the Stay Puft marshmallow man, add one more to be safe

If you've saved any pertinent CDC docs, send them to me at tips@abortioneveryday.com and I'll host them on the site

Because I've reached my limit with politics, a haiku to my cat:

Come here, pretty cat.
Ow, that's my boob, jerk!
Cute fuzzy butthead

"Every side is my good side, darling" (spoken with the Transatlantic accent)

Anyone placing any bets on how long it will take before prison labor is used to replace undocumented migrant workers? If I were more cynical, I'd invest in for-profit prison companies

How I'm rockin' my Friday night

I sneezed, and my void tyrant proceeded to squeak at me angrily. Apparently I'm supposed to sneeze without moving my abdomen

As a Packers fan, the first seven minutes here has been excruciating. Temu Kenny G must be a lucky charm

Yes, big important news and headlines. But can someone explain why in the nine hells I woke up with Justin Bieber's "Love Yourself" stuck in my head?

Why The Right Fears Diversity, Equity And Inclusion There are unqualified people getting a leg up—just not the people conservatives are whining about.

From August, but still relevant. Short answer: because those with privilege are pissed about losing it and scared that they will have to compete with those who are more qualified than they are

If you were planning a midwinter choral concert, what would you program?

I'd start with Lament For Pasiphae and have Barber's Twelfth Night as the midpoint

Nothing like ending the week with a two-hour rehearsal where we worked hard with very little break time. So tired, but the good kind of tired

Shit like this is why the women's leadership program I was a part of got axed by the college that housed it. Still have not forgiven that branch of the Minnesota State University system.

A black cat licking a large cylindrical chunk of ice off a small teal plate

My cat loooooves ice cubes, so he got a special treat the other day.

And tariffs. Like, did they not remember how badly Trump's tariffs fucked the agricultural industry before?

Benefit of leaving the cat carrier out: my resident void tyrant is comfortable in it. Of course, he still gets suspicious when I bribe him in there for trips to the V-E-T

This is art

Also why the CDC isn't allowed to track gun violence

Georgia Dismissed All Members of Maternal Mortality Committee After ProPublica Obtained Internal Details of Two Deaths In a letter, the state’s public health commissioner said the action was taken because “confidential information provided to the Maternal Mortality Review Committee was inappropriately shared with outs...

I know everyone is talking about Matt Gaetz but please don't miss this:

Georgia fired every single person on its maternal mortality review committee. Why? They didn't like that reporters found out that the state's ban killed two women www.propublica.org/article/geor...

Wild is putting it nicely.

I was thinking about the short story "The Lady or the Tiger". While I could be reasoned into the lady (and hopefully would be), that initial gut choice is the tiger.

So...anyone else apparently need to override some of their more bloodthirsty instincts in order to make good moral decisions? 🫤
