That awkward feeling when you want to ask a girl to marry you, but she doesn't know your real name or the fact that you own her house and she owes you fifty-three years of rent.

Jeff Bezos has $222 billion. If he paid my wealth tax this year, we could fund insulin in America for everyone who needs it plus free school lunch for every kid in Texas—and have plenty of money left over. And Bezos would still have $215 billion dollars to spare.

Remember when Donald Trump’s current spiritual advisor said he used to go “3 times a week to Saturday and Sunday school.” And when his former spiritual advisor went to prison for raping a kid? And only spent 6 months there? 🧵

Israel is a shockingly racist society, because it has to be to maintain its brutal control over Palestinians. But racism always expands & doesn't have a logical endpoint, eventually you believe the master race is just you personally and maybe your siblings.

Every couple of weeks we get a different description of the apparently awful stench coming off our necrotic president and I think it's high time the media nail down exactly what kind of rotten meat covered in women's perfume he actually smells like.

Our Detroit staff has received reports from Ford workers that the President's body odor was "like bad breath mixed with feces -- I can't describe it, but I'll never forget it"

If you're going to have a filthy one-night stand with a burned-out former rock star you just met, you should at least have standards. NOBODY'S BARGAIN is short, explicit, and just $2.99. books2read.com/u/bxD0no

A square light blue graphic with faded pastel circles. It has the Nobody's Bargain book cover on the right with the words "Out now" above and the vendors listed below it. Amazon, Apple, B&N, and Kobo. The cover itself is of a dissolute-looking white guy with long shaggy brown hair and a dark beard. He's got one hand on his forehead and the other is obscured. He's wearing a dark blue captain's coat with an epaulet on the shoulder, but his chest is bare and you can see the hints of several tattoos. Does Ren actually look like this in the book? No. This is his younger self, the confident jackass he used to be. To the left of this image is the following excerpt text: Hitha doesn’t bother reaching for clothes or wrapping a sheet around herself. If Ren hasn’t already seen it all, he’s certainly felt it all. Licked it all.
She passes two shut doors in the corridor before she hits the open one. The utilitarian bathroom light casts his pale, narrow, back in harsh relief and reveals in detail the tattoos she couldn’t make out last night in the dark. Water slicks his hair and sluices over each piece of ink, some more faded than others. No iron crosses or swastikas, thank god. Her policy of not fucking Nazis remains inviolate. Ren’s tattoos are green and black points on a map of his life.

AlO for sobbing when my boyfriend joked about my miscarriage?

Lost the baby at 11 weeks. Yesterday, we saw a pregnant woman at the grocery store. He elbowed me and laughed: "Could've been you if your body worked right."

I collapsed in the cereal aisle. He carried me to the car, still grinning: "Jesus, can't you take a joke? It's not like it was a real baby yet."

Now he's sulking because I "humiliated him" in public. My best friend says "He processes grief differently."

AlO? Or is this how normal people cope?
