A friend once said of a new driver’s license picture that it looked like a mug shot after she murdered her husband and I thought: goals.

I have several times seen the “don’t politicize my tragedy!” mentality when folks who’ve put in a lot of work to drive none or less talk about that during the time of high gas prices.

I don’t want to kill the spider by sucking her up with the vacuum. I simply want to destroy her home and the food she labored to procure.

I think it’s nice that the ice coffee discourse waited until hot coffee season (for me) so I don’t have to crave it so strongly at every take.

My husband busted out Jay’s Mother Mother Fuck song for the kid the other day. We’ve been together 25 years and, still, there is mystery.

I was recently informed that, when trying on clothes, if it doesn’t fit, you don’t even have to look in the mirror. This is going to change my life.

I asked the child how middle school is going. She said she likes the swearing and the pushing.

If you cheered from afar when Minneapolis fought ICE, you’ve got to include trans folks in your plan for liberation. People here know why, saw trans people risking their lives to block fascists who were coming—that time—for someone else. It’s called goddamn solidarity people.

It’s also so fucking insulting for a candidate to expect that all I want from government is personal protections for myself and not rights for everybody. Some people are that selfish but I really don’t think most are.

About ten years ago our chest freezer crapped out and I lost a whole summer’s worth of prepped vegetables. Young Allie felt like that was the worst thing that had ever happened to her. Ha Ha Ha! What a fucked up decade!!!

I know it's not personal and all that but it really is hard that my kid finds me so goddamn embarrassing all of a sudden.

The short answer is: Absolutely just as long as the long answer if I’m the one giving it.

It never feels good to let some asshole save face by pretending they’re just too good for whatever it is, but if it makes them actually leave?

Computer robots are smart enough to end the world but my phone somehow thinks this is the right tone to take with me.

Screen capture of push notification that says: The Washington Post. ICE is quietly firing new hires. For one recruit, it was devastating.

That link died so I'm re-posting and re-pinning this review of my book (Splendid Anatomies) that I can only read if I want joy to fill my heart such that it overwhelms me and I fall down in intense but exquisite pain. (But that probably won't happen to you! It's just a good read.)

Sucks to only have two options. Absolutely. But it sucks a whole lot worse when you pretend those options can’t be swayed one way or another.

In fact, when you broadcast your intent to bully trans people into voting for your candidate anyway, you signal to the candidate that they don’t have to do better. Vote for them if you feel it’s right, but don’t pave the way for their continued shittiness.

Every single fucking “you better vote for this guy, or else” message or post or conversation could instead be sent to the actual guy, you know? And it could say “you better change your tune, or else.”

Allison Wyss (But the abyss... It's still in my heart.) @allisonwyss.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

People say it in different ways, but it's always a message to the candidate. Saying, we're not going to vote for you if you throw trans people under the bus--that's a message to the goddamn candidate. That's a chance to do better and earn the votes. There is time to do better, candidates!

There's this thing I do with scenes, when I go through line by line, and analyze the sequence of the telling. (I mean, there are reasons to tell things out of order, but also things that flip or wiggle with no reason and I put them straight.) I wonder if other brain types get that flip or wiggle.

I occasionally wonder how gas prices compare to times when cars had super shitty mileage, you know, adjusting for that, but I don’t care enough to do an even a single search, or—my god—a math problem.

I tried “let me know if a line from my book comes up” as a response to someone using that shit but it didn’t work they thought that would somehow be a good thing which was of course even more infuriating.

Cain woke to the ghost of Able, who smashed him to pieces, nothing left but left an elbow and not even a whole elbow, just like an elbo’, more commonly called an elba’. So the little arm part originated the famous palindrome. Oh shit its spelled Abel. Nothing but a leba left, I mean.

I keep thinking about how people who were recently joking about certain things I didn't like had probably never been face to face with one of them. Your perspective can really shift once you've looked evil directly in the goddamn fucking eye.

The wild thing about that palindrome is there was no plan. The man was just winging it.

My god, we’re really pretending on here that children deserve to die if it’s their own parents who make bad health decisions for them. Why is a child’s death only ever framed a tragedy for the parents and not the actual child.
