Holy shit, I need to stop reading anything Megan Kelly ever says because I am giving myself high blood pressure and that's exactly what she wants. What a rage baiting trash person.

What's going on with people running hard red lights? Not, oops, I thought I could make the yellow light ones. The person in front of me stopped at the red light, sat there, and then blew through said red light (taking a left turn)...has happened more than once. Are red lights just stop signs now? 🫤

Well, this one made me cry today...yesterday it was the mariachi band playing the national anthem. I just love to see every culture celebrated! How hard is that concept? This is very cool and what an amazing mayor!

Finally thought my heart could take it so I watched Hamnet. Thought I could game the system and not cry (since I read the book), but wow, could not have been more wrong. What a beautiful movie! Jessie Buckley deserved all these awards she received.

@derekberes.bsky.social Just saw that Nancy Mace is proposing a "Peptides for Veterans" bill and immediately could hear you Conspirituality guys cracking up at that.

I am trying to find a new invoicing software for my freelance business and none of these places have phone numbers listed...just email addresses. Am I just old? I know nobody wants to talk on the phone anymore (not a fan myself) but it would really be easier to ask questions to an actual person!

@theferocity.bsky.social You're the one who got me watching Reacher (thank you!) so I'm curious what you thought of Neagley (just finished, loved it too).

Ashley Cullen @cleanupartist.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Getting really into plants (only from easyplant.com so I can't kill them) and candles (only from frostbeardstudio.com because they're so unique and all book themed). I may be in crisis but I am still very specific and picky. 😂

This is the wildest Mad Libs of why did Ashley get choked up today. Also, I'm paranoid it's AI and that makes me hate AI even more. Don't mess with my emotions, AI!

Ashley Cullen @cleanupartist.bsky.social · 19/08/2026

How cool is this? Gah, imaging good things and seeing good things happen like this keep me going. It's such a nice balm during these times.

I was having a pretty good day until I just saw Lance Bass doing a Metamucil commercial.

Ashley Cullen @cleanupartist.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

Finished Ride or Die today and loved it. The best show I've seen in a while. Octavia Spencer was a joy, wow. I hope she wins an Emmy for her performance. Hope she does more funny stuff too, she was cracking me up!

Ashley Cullen @cleanupartist.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

Roy Cooper, who is advising you on these senate ads? Who is your audience? Are we courting republicans again? Have we not learned that lesson? Sheesh

Ashley Cullen @cleanupartist.bsky.social · 24/06/2026

The fact that Louis CK has a new Netflix special is just…whew. I don’t have enough cuss words.

Ashley Cullen @cleanupartist.bsky.social · 21/06/2026

@novicsara.bsky.social Finished Mother Tongue today and wanted to say I really enjoyed it! Thank you for sharing your story and what you felt comfortable sharing about your children. I also really loved True Biz so it was nice to get some nonfiction from you too. ❤️

As a word nerd and lover of joy everywhere, this really makes me happy!

Uh oh NC peeps, we better get to calling our senators again, I actually spoke with real people (vs having to leave a message) when I just called Senator Budd and Senator Tillis!

Ashley Cullen @cleanupartist.bsky.social · 01/06/2026

Holy shit, @jamiattenberg.bsky.social! Lily King and Xochitl Gonzalez! Two of my favorites. Thank you for scoring these amazing ladies to write words of encouragment. They both just hit the nail on the head for me. Magical. ❤️#1000wordsofsummer

This story is where I'm finding my joy today. I hope they just eventually end up putting a dusty karaoke machine on the stage.

Ashley Cullen @cleanupartist.bsky.social · 28/05/2026

This is really well said! I feel this way too.

I truly hope these members of Congress who find a backbone after they are beaten in a primary or retire just keep getting randomly sprayed by a skunk.

@thebloggess.bsky.social Finished your new book yesterday and wanted to say thank you! ❤️So hilarious, heartfelt and comforting, a great pep talk of a book! So many good nuggets, was going to copy some but forgot and took the book back to the library first, which I thought you'd appreciate. 😂

Ashley Cullen @cleanupartist.bsky.social · 08/05/2026

Thank you @jesscraven101.bsky.social this really did help get me out of my funk today. What a great idea! Go send a card or message to the mothers in the Dilley Detention Center.

Ashley Cullen @cleanupartist.bsky.social · 07/05/2026

This book is a must read! I read it last year and still bring it up in conversation. It's essential. Congrats @brian-goldstone.bsky.social on your Pulitzer, so well deserved!

I feel like my representative kind of flies under the radar, but I think she's pretty great! Very responsive and almost consistently votes the way I would! @ross.house.gov Just a little shoutout to you to say thanks!

Ashley Cullen @cleanupartist.bsky.social · 01/05/2026

Can I just purchase a good or service without immediately getting an email and a text about a survey? Goodness. This last one is for a massage! So are you sufficiently relaxed now? Ok, great...unrelax and fill out this survey for us. Gah.

Ashley Cullen @cleanupartist.bsky.social · 24/04/2026

What is it gonna take? (this could apply to so many things right now)

Ashley Cullen @cleanupartist.bsky.social · 14/04/2026

@sarahkendzior.bsky.social I am so sorry to hear about your dad. I know that his memory will be a blessing because you've shared some of those memories with us and I thank you for that. I am thinking about you and your family now and sending❤️.

I am slightly obsessed with these candles...just bought some more today. I love that they are book themed (book nerd over here) and that they help a small business in Minneapolis. www.frostbeardstudio.com

Went to the No Kings protest in Cary, NC today and had some great conversation with an older lady next to me. Found out later she’s a nun! Was raised evangelical so this was the first nun I’ve ever met. Pretty cool!

Ashley Cullen @cleanupartist.bsky.social · 27/03/2026

What a wonderful heartwarming story...it really does take a village!

Holy shit that Sinners number at the Oscars, wow!

I swear all the dumbest MTV celebrities from my teen years currently hold a disturbing amount of power. It’s wild in the worst way!

@sarahkendzior.bsky.social Just browsing my library's new books and came across this one. Made me think of you!

Cover of book titled Crocheting the National Parks by Krista Ann featuring a pair of hands moving a needle inside some yarn with a desert scene in the background

Ashley Cullen @cleanupartist.bsky.social · 24/02/2026

Holy cow, this is great (in a different county from me but close enough for me to claim it!)! I am about the only one in any setting still wearing a mask but this is why I keep doing it!

@juliedicaro.bsky.social Just finished your book today and really enjoyed it! It was mostly infuriating but with a little dash of optimism (like our current reality in general). Thank you for all your hard work on the book and I'm sorry you've had to deal with so much bullshit!

Ashley Cullen @cleanupartist.bsky.social · 19/02/2026

Oh my goodness, this one really got me this morning.

000

Ashley Cullen @cleanupartist.bsky.social · 11/02/2026

I'm laughing at myself because I just started out my voicemail to my senator like "Ok, sir, I am going to try to keep my composure because I am very upset" and then proceeded to talk so long and intensely that I got cut off. Sent it anyway!

Ashley Cullen @cleanupartist.bsky.social · 09/02/2026

Imagine having to fake that you love Kid Rock for this long. 😂

Ashley Cullen @cleanupartist.bsky.social · 30/01/2026

Welp, ya gotta find joy in something and this did it for me today! It's about time for a Schitt's Creek rewatch too.

020

Ashley Cullen @cleanupartist.bsky.social · 25/01/2026

I usually shit my mouth and leave an awkward voicemail with my senators but I just left a pretty decent one, I think. “Please vote no on funding ICE. They are murdering people in the streets and I think they should be done”. Not to forget they are also kidnapping people, said that before too.

030

Ashley Cullen @cleanupartist.bsky.social · 21/01/2026

I feel like we've gone backwards to the days of one Snackwell cookie as a little treat...seems like EVERYTHING in celebrity news and on social media is just about people losing a ton of weight. Gah. Please let's go back to celebrating bodies of all sizes and shapes!

When is someone going to say "WHAT WARS ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?"

Ashley Cullen @cleanupartist.bsky.social · 19/01/2026

I just ❤️ this! I need to save it on my phone to watch when the overwhelm sets in.

How the hell am I still dry Januarying this dry January? Can that lady share her Nobel Peace Prize with me?

Ashley Cullen @cleanupartist.bsky.social · 14/01/2026

All these communities banding together against ICE, protecting and supporting their neighbors is really lighting my fire/getting me choked up. ❤️
