Salty, neurodivergent, and feminist. I like words and food and feeling the feels. Off to build a life I don't need a vacation from.
I'm gonna need a little more time to adjust to the daylight savings.

Choosing where to buy deodorant and cleaning supplies now is like like playing Marry, Fuck, Kill with no candidates to marry or fuck.

Can we talk about the nonsense happening on @meetthepress.com lately? This isn't free PR for lying liars, right? RIGHT?!?!?!

Let's see... what is causing my diminished will to live today? College costs? Job hunting? Menopause? Rise of fascism? It's anybody's guess.

Parents: how are you all doing pretending like our kids have their whole lives to look forward to? (Is there anything to look forward to?)

This entire series is outstanding, but the engines of outrage episodes are particularly compelling.

I'd like to formally apologize to all my friends abroad who've heard me argue that the U.S. doesn't have any more idiots by percentage than any other country. I was mistaken.

Never ever resign on your own no matter WHAT you are promised, even in writing. Make them fire you.

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library

Just saw my first censorship on FB. 2/5/25 Marches post from women hold up half the sky. Clicked to read comments- "unavailable." Then clicked again and the post disappeared before my eyes. Message was get to the match. If you can't match, call off work, if you can't call off work, wear blue. 💙

Welp. Found my first #dailybawl on Bluesky. 😭
This may be the most devastating short poem I've ever come across. From Andrea Cohen's book, Furs Not Mine: bookshop.org/a/862/978193...

Fellow neurodivergents, how are you doing not playing out the scenarios to their terrifying end? Hallucinogenics? Is it hallucinogenics?

Is it just me or does the obsessive overuse of "woke" by conservatives sound like me trying to casually drop "skibbidi" in conversation? Like... nobody EVER went this hard for a word they had so little clues about. It's totally NOT roofus. Or fetch. Stop trying to make it happen. Weirdos.

So, what are we doing with our money right now? I mean, FDIC doesn't matter when it's the government who is strip mining the country, right? Does the collapse of the US qualify as a force majeure so I can withdraw my IRA? I need to know...
