Note for Democratic politicians: you don't have to start your condemnations of ICE raids with "We all want to catch violent criminals, but..." Just say "These raids have nothing to do with catching criminals and everything to do with terrorizing innocent minority groups."

Not to get too political but I agree with the new VP candidate that it’s probably best for everyone if we don’t have kids starving and bleeding on themselves in school, even if their parents are poor

Is there a group on social media you’ve given up on arguing with entirely? A group that’s not worth the time or mental bandwidth for the sub-basement level possibility of a payoff? Personally, I’ll discuss vaccines and try to convince someone who’s undecided, but I don’t fuck with anti-vaxxers.

My roommate keeps telling me I should start a podcast. I look at the podcast landscape and I’m petrified to inaction. I know my writing matters to like four people but I’m not convinced a microphone wouldn’t just add to the hum of noise. What makes a podcast matter to you?

I know this isn’t the right option for everyone but… People told me I was overreacting to the onslaught of anti-roe legislation when I had my fallopian tubes removed. If I could do it over again, I’d have asked them to take the uterus too. We’re just a womb to these monsters.

My mom and brother had curly hair, mine just came in late, hah. Start with dripping wet hair. Curl cream, mousse (optional but recommended), gel, scrunch like crazy, and diffuse (air drying works too), and an itsy bit of hair oil to break up the gel.

The fact that the MSM is writing "Is masking coming back?" articles instead of "How do we prevent another mass-casualty event?" shows that we've entirely lost the plot. We're more concerned about our convenience than whether another 1.1M Americans die of COVID.

The 1990s and 2000s were a heyday for nerds. Tech was now cool and we could unabashedly embrace our enthusiasm for math, science, etc. We've backslid. Today's tech founders compete to be like "Fuck math. I hunt Siberian wild boar in the nude using a knife made from only my own frozen excrement."

They tried to trick us. They tried to divide us. They tried to break us. But we held strong. So now — if they’re smart —they’ll finally try the only thing that will work: sitting down at the bargaining table to make a fair deal.
WGA CONTRACT 2023
DEAR MEMBERS,
The WGA and AMPTP now have a confirmed schedule to bargain this week, starting on Wednesday.
You might not hear from us in the coming days while we are negotiating, but know that our focus is getting a fair deal for writers as soon as possible. We'll reach out again when there is something of significance to report.
In the meantime, please continue to demonstrate your commitment and unity by coming out to the picket lines
- for yourselves and fellow writers,
SAG-AFTRA, other unions' members, and all those in our community who are impacted by the strikes.
IN SOLIDARITY, WGA NEGOTIATING COMMITTEE

The hard truth about rebuilding a post-divorce social life is you have to take the initiative, not the friends who feel like you left them. Your marriage alienated them, you do the work to fix things. The harder truth- Sometimes you just get to cry for a few days when you realize it's too late.

I feel like the definition of being at “high risk” from covid really needs to include “high probability of messing up your health and life for months or years” not just “likely to immediately kill you.” A 9% chance that I’m gonna be sick for at least three months is a pretty high risk!
