My daughter, riding this same feeling into a great big world.

Aren't we so fucking lucky to be able to create like this? To bear witness like this? To feel anything this deeply? We're so fucking lucky.

Went to my daughter's band's first concert today. Their faces as the audience reacted to their art looked like this, just in another font. Nothing makes me more proud to be a human than these privileges: to witness art, to feel our art being witnessed, to watch other humans do these things.

Finally got a call from the urogynecologist, whose services I need after giving birth very quickly to 4 babies weighing up to 9 lbs. No appts before February, IF they decide I "qualify" for one. Thank god I don't live in a socialist country where people wait months to see a doctor. The US is ass.

It's because Trump is basically tied with him and the assassinated McKinley for worst approval rating of all time, and they want to get people sympathizing with him as the comparisons ramp up.

I had a roommate briefly who was furious that I wouldn't flush tampons. I explained to her the impact on plumbing and sewer systems, and she said, "That's the city and landlord's problem." She was also very rude to restaurant staff. The friendship didn't last long.

I genuinely feel that the paper straws are like an inside joke for the ruling class and a humiliation ritual for the proletariat. "They complained about the well-being of ✌️the sea✌️, so we gave 'em paper straws that get soggy when wet! Hahaha!" [Insert that meme with the laughing old rich men.]

This makes me so sick to read about. The death penalty for an action taken by a teenager with an underdeveloped frontal lobe is even more barbaric than the typical barbarism of the death penalty, but this is just fucking horrifying.

Things I hate: - Amateurs on Antiques Roadshow being extremely bored by the backstory of their treasures and only lighting up with the value is revealed. - The semi-frequent cultural insensitivity/occasional naked racism of white experts and/or amateurs on Antiques Roadshow.

Bee @retroition.bsky.social · 03/10/2026
Things I love: - Experts on Antiques Roadshow being moved to tears by the opportunity to discuss/interact with their special interests. - Amateurs on Antiques Roadshow being extremely excited to learn the backstory of their special treasures.

Just spoke to a Bodnar staffer who told me she feels bad because it seems like almost everyone voting for him over Bankhead is doing so because they don't believe a woman can win. The Montana Democratic Party needs to be drained like an abscess as soon as possible.

It always shocks me how naive some people can be about how the world is vs how they wish it could be. Objectively he could not arrest Netanyahu, but they don't want to understand why. Are any of them taking up arms for a resistance? No. But they sure expect anyone actually trying anything to do it.

I know Rahm Emanuel. I worked with him for years in the Clinton administration, and then when he was Obama’s chief of staff. Rahm Emanuel represents everything that’s been wrong about the Democratic Party for the last 30+ years. Be warned. robertreich.substack.com/p/the-rahm…

I don't wear fur, but whilst at an estate sale I spotted a genuine fox fur coat and marveled at the irrationally low price set by people who didn't know what they had. As I held it, a horrible old woman who wanted it sneered at me that it looked too small for me. Anyway, I now own a fur coat.

I don't know how to move on from the rare books being destroyed to feed AI. I don't know how to fully care about anything else. It's like the library of Alexandria except it's right now, it's happening now, and I'm just sitting on the toilet posting on Bluesky and drowning in spiritual fatigue.

I saw an ambulance parked outside of an apartment building and was worried for a moment about who was inside. Then I saw the driver grinning and skipping steps up to the door with a bouquet of flowers in hand. There's a poem in there, probably.

@goreckis.co asked what album I'd save in a fire. I obviously rejected that question in favor of a top ten as one is ridiculous. In no particular order, they are:
Unreal Unearth, Hozier

Wasteland Baby, Hozier

Bjork, Bjork

Wooden Heart, Listener

Bach's cello suites, JS Bach

I Put a Spell on You, Nina

Simone

Soviet Kitsch, Regina Spektor

To Learn, Leith Ross

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty soundtrack

American Idiot, Green Day
