A really painful part I’ve been working through lately is the years I lost in it and trying to find myself again after. The parts of my memory that are completely fractured. Even memories that happen before that my brain just deleted.

I blinked and half of my 20s were gone.

a painful part of having been in an abusive relationship is all the residual shame involved with remembering it, remembering what it did to your relationships with other people, your work, your sense of self… and how your life is organized into “before” and “after”

I keep imagining this fake carefree version of myself (who obviously never existed) but my brain keeps saying “you could have been her!”

sometimes it feels like I threw my whole life away, even though I’m very much still here. I don’t know if that makes sense. it still all feels like my fault.

“STILLER AND MEARA is a fascinating window into not only the history of this famous family but also the beautiful and punishing nature of performance itself,” writes @judysquirrels.bsky.social out of the film’s NYFF premiere.

Stiller & Meara: Nothing is Lost movie review (2025) | Roger Ebert

As we learn more about three generations of Stillers, the film takes the shape of a family therapy session that just happens to be lovingly crafted into a feature documentary.

To add onto it, they've had trifectas twice in the last 20 years, and the last minimum wage increase was passed by George W Bush lol.

They do not fucking care.

The conversation between Klein and Coates showed me that a lot of people who screech about “infighting” on the left aren’t aware of the fact that marginalized people have been forced to learn how to regulate their emotions during conflict, and so, are better able to hear what’s actually being said.

This is not a moment to abandon principles and morals.

Human rights are worth fighting for.
Democracy is worth fighting for.

People need housing, healthcare, education, and the ability to live a good life. That’s not controversial.

the quiet part about the “blue no matter who” set is that they care more about politicians than they do regular people.

and they show it to us here online every day. thousands can die but OH NO someone interrupted a politician while they were EATING DINNER, OH MY GOD. CALL THE POLICE!

critiquing the DNC is not supporting the GOP. anyone who says that line is an idiot. most people are unhappy with the democratic party. polling shows that. support for zohran shows that. losing the election showed that.

come and live in reality with the rest of us! care about other people!

This has been the strategy since I first became a voter decades ago, and it has demonstrably made the party and the country worse.

The perpetual advice to Democrats is that moving rightward will solve all their problems.

But look where the party is at the moment: already embracing Republican affect and policies, yet still losing.

Democrats Are Already “Moderate.” It’s Not Working.

politicians are supposed to represent and serve YOU, not be figures of worship.

doing free labor for the DNC is something I will never understand. they don’t fight hard enough. and you’re not going to change anyone’s mind on this by Posting Angry and worshipping people who quite literally do not care about you. they care about your money and your vote, nothing else.
