One of the key reasons to work with other creatives is that they can tell you no when you need to hear it.

Things like this just sound to me like when people talk about how lazy you must be to buy pre-peeled hard boiled eggs or pre-sliced fruit at the store. I mean it’s great if you don’t need it, be blessed, but also I’m not risking using a knife and an ER trip just so I can have some watermelon.

Hey it’s that time again. I’ve got time at 2am to make a call, if you feel alone. Fair warning, my partner is sick so I’m making soup at unsociable hours. But I could keep you company for a few minutes. My dm is open.

Hasan Piker isn’t the Joe Rogan of the left. He’s the Tim Pool of the left. I get asked for comment on weird shit so for the record: I am far too busy trying to work and fund folks’ needs to have time to listen to some dude who spends all day every day cosplaying class war.

Sometimes, because I don’t really remember things for long these days, I trip across an interview I’ve given and I’m always pleased when I said what I did. “I don’t actually care what you think about it” Fuck yeah past me

So what had happened was Rumors of my death were greatly exaggerated (still love that) So then there were scholarships set up in my name? Anyway I said if that’s true I’d pay for it, and that is how I’m asking for help. Usual links? Venmo Linda-Tirado-3 PayPal bootstrapindustries@gmail

After my c-section, I asked my ObGYN what care at home would look like and what sort of painkiller I'd be prescribed (so my husband could pick it up) and he said OTC Tylenol because by asking, I was "exhibiting drug seeking behavior."

Okay. This has spiraled into glorious chaos and so: if you or someone you know needs a breakup playlist here’s your thread Also my kid is now mad because “mom why do old people think they know what teenagers are feeling” which. Slow clap for that one, which I will remind her of when she’s thirty

Dear The Internet: send teenage-appropriate tortured breakups songs, stat I have to make my kid a playlist and all my shit is like angry fuck-you or triumphant singledom anthems, I’ve truly never had a full-on Damien Rice level of a breakup reaction

Seems worth the saying: Tokenism never works. Because it finds champions and, I can tell you, forces people who have no preparation or real backing into roles they never asked for. But who doesn’t take a bite at the apple, and also who asked did they even want to?

@jaseokundaye.bsky.social I’ve just read your piece on arday. One line stuck: where’s the progressive critique? I’m happy to stand in this, because why are we all made to be poster children and then torn down for living up to expectations imperfectly? DM me, when the UK wakes. Well written.

Kid heard, and idk how many times she’s seen this but you can see things and then you watch them with your mom She noped out. Totally fair. The instant it was the tale of sir launcelot. I didn’t even get to talk about the idioms. Parenting is just cruel.

In June I asked El-Sayed about Rs potentially using his whole name (or the fact that his brother is named Osama) against him. 

His answer:

“I hope that they will. Yeah, my name is Abdul. I’ll say the whole thing: Abdulrahman Muhammad El-Sayed, and I want you to have health care, because you know what? Chances are, you probably had a doctor you trust with a name like mine.”
