I have always loved how Shakespeare used the *form* of the poetry - or prose - to tell us about the character.

My taxes currently go to a bloated military that allows corrupt leadership to attack other countries for no good fucking reason (oil isn't a good reason). If my taxes FED KIDS or BUILT TRAINS or RESEARCHED CLIMATE CHANGE I'd happily pay *more*.

Announcing "our product attracts the kind of people who want to verbally abuse something that can't fight back on a level we've had to address structurally" feels like a little bit of a self-own, tbh, but thankfully I'm not in charge of their marketing.

...Ossoff went on Jen Psaki and literally said, "bless his heart, Mike Collins doesn't have much of a mind of his own." I may be from Jersey, but I *have* spent enough time in the South for that to make me AUDIBLY gasp. (Northerner translation: "That fucking asshole is a fucking puppet.")

All my local media was telling me how close it would be, that it was scary, and then I took one look at the info as polls closed, turned to Husband, and said, "cool, we can watch literally anything but politics tonight, we're good." We were all worried because the primary split the progressives.

Yep. Part of being a fascist is being grossly incompetent, but also grossly arrogant in one's incompetence. it... it hurts my brain and it annoys the fuck out of me and I do not understand how people look at them and go, "oh, no, they are doing such a good job" while things LITERALLY FALL APART.

Why? Because she got upset over my wedding invitation, and didn't come to my wedding. I already knew where I ranked in her life, that just made it obvious to the rest of the world (if they bothered to think). If I'm that far down your priority list, you're not on mine.

I first stopped speaking to my mother when I was 17, and discovered bruises in the shape of her hand on my arm. I was forced into speaking to her briefly after that, went dark again for a few years, then tried AGAIN for well over a decade. Mostly for my grandparents. At 36, I stopped for good.

I long ago concluded that the true way to world peace is ENFORCING, gently, snack time and nap time between diplomacy sessions. And make a big fucking show of everyone getting the appropriate but fair snack.

Logistics, logistics, logistics. My great-grandfather was in charge of the Aviation Supply Office for the Pacific theatre for the US Naval Supply Corps in WWII. I made a fairly credible claim that he was responsible for us winning the war in the Pacific., in a high school paper.

My husband and I just quizzed each other on our phone numbers. We've been together 14 years. I actually got his, but I think that's because I've been doing a lot of school forms recently.

A thing taught to me by my New Englander classmates, when I went to college: "Down the road a while can mean a mile... or a lot longer" My NJ ass: ....things aren't just 20 minutes away?

...I've heard that there's a committee about AI use and we haven't heard shit about using it for months. (Considering that many people have anti-AI stickers on their water bottles, this should not have been a surprise to them... but it was.)

Rebecca Robinson Overholt @julephenia.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

My job sent out a survey to my team about AI. We'd been hearing a lot about it, and seeing it used by managers. My team collectively did this: Refused to use it At least half threatened to quit Wrote essays on why it was bad/Listed reasons why it was bad Generally told them to fuck off with it

Rebecca Robinson Overholt @julephenia.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

I dunno. When something is forced on me, even though I don't need it, and consistently proffers up worse outcomes and flat-out incorrect answers... Yeah, GenAI is bad. Every brush I have with it, it looks awful, gets simple shit wrong, and pollutes Earth at the same time. Oh, no, I don't like it.

Elder Millennial... This is your brain on drugs. Though, later, the pan started getting thrown around, which was more entertaining, and probably more accurate.

... ... ... In a country as sports mad as ours, where even local high school teams make the news, how in the HELL do you not check for scholastic games? (Besides the inherent fucking misogyny.)

Rebecca Robinson Overholt @julephenia.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

I was always pro choice/anti forced birth... But then I had a missed miscarriage, and a full-term pregnancy. And I'm the child of a narcissist who absolutely did not want a child. All children should be wanted. All children should be the living heart of their parents. Anything less is hell.

Rebecca Robinson Overholt @julephenia.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

This is something I have to remind myself of, all the time, because of where I grew up. I don't understand NOT living in a place with a lot of religions mixed up all together, and, in particular, about 1/3 of my neighbors being Jewish. ...But I'm from Jersey.

Rebecca Robinson Overholt @julephenia.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

My very Catholic MIL was literally *70*, when she learned other religions didn't have original sin. She's very educated, liberal, and lives in NYC. And yet.

I've had many a person hear "agnostic" or "pagan" or whatever word I feel like using (since... I don't really care?), and decide I said "Satanic". Even people of other faiths. I just stare at them.

Rebecca Robinson Overholt @julephenia.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Had to convince someone of this re: abortion. They kept accepting the premise of it being a "moral" issue, instead of a) something that happens to the human body, and b) a medical issue. Still not sure I got through on that one.

I mean, he grew up with humans. He has to out-Klingon every other Klingon, just to be Klingon. ...Well, that's what he thinks. I love his human parents. So adorable. They just accept that he is... so very Worf.

Would you like to note, ANYWHERE in your headline, that this is ILLEGAL?

When I went to college, at a majority women's school, founded as a women's school... I was warned within a week of the date-raper. He was never punished. (This was over 20 years ago.) Welcome to being a woman in America.

Rebecca Robinson Overholt @julephenia.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

It's terrifying, and then they push the ads during all sporting events. (Except the Olympics and such.) Then those same sports leagues wonder why they don't have a young fan base. ....Because it's REALLY hard to have my kid watch a broadcast and not see gambling ad after gambling ad!

Never thought I'd see the absolute horror show that my city collectively refers to as "the year we don't talk about", but the current iteration of my baseball team is DOING THEIR DAMN BEST TO BE WORSE. WHAT THE FUCK, @phillies.bsky.social ????

Oh, no, people are REFUSING TO ACCEPT ABUSE. Maybe everyone who gets cut off should go to therapy.

They've never stopped. I have NEVER had the rights that my son has.

Like, you married at 19 and started having babies right away, by 38, you and your husband can't afford any more, your body is broken, and he sleeps in the barn so you don't conceive!

Rebecca Robinson Overholt @julephenia.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Here's the thing, my OB used the term once, said she hated it, and moved on. These terms are based on the "research" of when "peak fertility" is. Which started by "researchers" looking at FAMILY BIBLE RECORDS from several centuries ago! It's a scare tactic. And it's bullshit.

I'm def experiencing perimenopause, and I'm also doing it fucking blind as a bat. The only 2 people genetically related to me, as well as older than me, with uteri, are ... not safe people for me to talk to. I empathize deeply with your position.

As someone who had her one and only child at 38... yeah, that's normal, now.

Like, there are precisely TWO things I give him credit for in 8 years. 1. Actually accepting help from Obama and the feds after Sandy 2. Making fucking sparklers legal. Oh, and 1 is SEVERELY impacted by the bullshit rebuild and Jersey Strong nonsense which ignored CLIMATE CHANGE

Does Chris Christie realize that we haven't forgotten the following: 1. The mop joke about cleaning up the South Jersey shore after FLOODING 2. The fucking beach thing 3. Cancelling the ARC Tunnel project, which was going to provide more trains to NYC FOR THE COMMUTING STATE OF NJ? 4. *45 ????
