Have you ever funded a genocide that’s killed thousands upon thousands of children? Get the fuck out of here, sycophant.

My job is not to be Biden’s grief counselor. My job is to survive his policy decisions.
Have you ever lost a child?

Biden choosing to use this holiday weekend to be seen with this book actually unlocked a new species of grief in me.

He’s not senile. He’s not confused. He’s not in a difficult position.

He’s spiteful. And he’s proof that weaponized incompetence can be lethal. Anyway, Godspeed to his stans.

The YouTube obsession with identifying (or really, inflicting the identification) of “easter eggs” on movies and TV shows has mauled what’s left of cultural criticism. Half the time, the so-called “easter eggs” are just examples of foreshadowing and narrative depth.

As with improv, social medial works a lot better when you have a “yes, and…” mentality. Twitter trained a lot of people into “no, but…” and that is just going to catch you a lot of blocks here. 💁🏻‍♀️

Assuming all fanfiction is written poorly really just shows you've never been caught in the chokehold of a 150k slowburn that changed the course of your life at 2:40am written by someone whose username has 4 Zs in it and they only wrote one fic and then vanished like an ethereal legend.

White people, it’s not enough to not be racist. Y’all need to HATE racism like Kendrick Lamar hates Drake. Commit to the goddamned bit.

Imma need some of you to think about thriving out of spite. I had big plans for 2025 and I’m definitely not gonna pre-derail them for likes of Elin and Tromp. I’m getting more involved. Loving harder. Writing hornier. Having more fun. I’m gonna be so kind to my neighbors, bitch.

“I'm writing a first draft and reminding myself that I'm simply shoveling sand into a box so that later I can build castles.”

This was probably my most viral tweet. I've seen it pop up in a lot of quote aggregators, sometimes attributed to a wonderful but definitely not-me filmmaker.
