‘White Lotus’ star Carrie Coon talks about her viral sprint scene in the season finale: “Look, I’m an American and I’m a New Yorker, and if you think I don’t know where the exits are in any building I’m in, then you’re not paying attention to the news.”

That season of White Lotus was like a Terrence Malick movie: visually stunning, packed with talent, aggressively pointless

It’s still hard to believe the simple fact that this is all self-imposed. Everything that’s happening right now wasn’t the result of some foreign adversary destroying the country. We did this all to ourselves by electing the dumbest motherfucker to ever rule a nation.

When you tell your therapist you’re depressed and she looks at her notes from the past two years and sees you were depressed at the same time the last two years…. 😳 honestly, relief

Y’all it is okay to feel joy. In fact joy in the face of terror is a form of resistance. It can serve as a reminder of that which we desire to protect.

I love this quote that I saw from Insight Timer earlier this week…and it applies to *all* of our connections, not just romantic.

I was mistaken, thinking this bag that I purchased was mine…it’s now Liza’s *third* bed. 😑
A fluffy black cat is curled up tightly in a cream-colored, quilted circular bag, nestled on a red and black plaid blanket. The cat appears cozy and comfortable, with its fur blending softly against the textured background and the padded edges of its bag.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

You are doing the absolute best you can and they keep asking for more, there is a reason why you’re exhausted. The world is bonkers right now, it is not you.

It’s been such a shitstorm emotional week, I can’t tell what parts of me are grieving, furious, in despair, horrified…and said emotions are also being directed at anyone and everyone in my life, including myself. Advance apologies for anyone caught in the crosshairs. 😵‍💫
