Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

I miss the days of “you would not believe the revolting little secrets I’m hiding inside this collagen-packed husk!”

Whenever I meet someone at this point in my life it feels like being walked in on in a public restroom. Like wait! I wasn’t ready! This isn’t me! And the lighting is terrible!

People are like “emotions are just passing through.” Yeah like I’m just stopping by my snack cupboard once a day. My emotions do u-turns, they cruise in no-cruise zones, they consider moving in, the other emotions are getting gentrified out by these bigger emotions, despair had become a landlord etc

I'm a mother from Gaza. An explosion shattered glass over my sleeping daughter, Alma. She's in pain, and we have nothing.
Please help us leave Gaza and get her to safety.
Any amount could save our lives.🥹💔

Caught my silhouette in a reflection today and it was humbling how so suddenly you’re just “middle aged shape”

I wish there were a “never mind” option after you’ve ordered something online but before it’s arrived for when you’re like, somehow I’m a different person than when I ordered this 72 hours ago and I wish never to see it, and they just turn it around in the mail for you and it never comes.

Surely I can snack my way through the time between a too-small-too-early lunch and dinner.

I’ve just realized how close the words ‘GOP’ and ‘GOOP’ are and it’s making the headlines a lot funnier.

I suspect that in order to really thrive in life you have to either know how to make a spreadsheet or have the money to hire someone who can.

What is a spreadsheet?

Cover your brain fog confusion by texting “I’m dying. That’s so funny.” Even if not funny the rest of the chain will assume they’re not getting it.

It’s fun that my body and brain require wildly different amounts of coffee. I’ve never been in a lousy marriage but I feel like this is close.

You’re getting back with your ex, I’m finding an expired supplement in my cupboard and thinking, “Why not? Life’s too short.”

“We are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.”

Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!
