The 41 yo woman who cut my hair today was 10 weeks pregnant with a happy surprise, a surprise because she had her tubes tied 15 years ago. I would simply pass away 😭

I was walking the dogs and noticed people were randomly standing in their driveways. I thought something bad was happening- nope, just northern lights 😍

So color me skeptical of any "cure" for the "male loneliness epidemic" that isn't "abolish patriarchy (and capitalism)."

Patriarchy alienates broad classes of its subjects from relationality just like capitalism alienates broad classes of its subjects from our labor.

The two work in tandem.

We are not lonely because we COULD NOT SURVIVE THIS alone.

For a lot of men, loneliness is a problem, sure, but a problem borne of relative privilege.

They are not in relationship because their survival (and/or the survival of their children) does not hinge on existing in relationship.

It really bothers me that beets are so unpopular. They’re incredible! Am I crazy? That subtle dirt flavor is so satisfying. Is it like cilantro where some folks have the pallet for it?

Had a single tear roll down my cheek while listening to Under Pressure this morning, so I’d say I’m doing pretty well all things considered.

Have spent the week with a building sense of dread and then ill forget why and sort of gaslight myself that it must be too much screens or not enough exercise and then I remember. Anyway, still might pick smoking back up.

You all are projecting so much onto ‘iPad kids.’

Saw a picture of one of the Obama kids smoking a cigarette and I gotta say she looked super cool. Maybe I’ll pick it back up during my midlife crises I plan on having this year.

The last two days ive had to work while everyone else in my family is on break. Only being responsible for yourself in the morning is a real treat! Those childfree by choice people might be onto something.
