Major TW: death penalty Wow, this article is heartbreaking. Heartbreaking in that they're describing torture that is somehow legal. Great interview that shares all the shocking, and sad, details

So my mother "corrected" me when I explained the kids were off school for Indigenous Peoples Day by letting my kids know it's actually Columbus Day. I guess I can look forward to this special racist brand of passive aggression all weekend

This may be controversial, but let me explain my point. For the record I am fiercely against the death penalty. I've been to a lot of anti-death penalty events. One thing they sometimes lack: true empathy for the victims & families who lost someone they loved in such a horrific way. Stay with me...

Ohhhhh-kay enough with the "being MAGA is a mental illness" memes. There are tons o' ppl w/ mental health issues who aren't racist jerks obsessed w/ Tr*mp. It furthers stigma, is confusing, and just plain wrong

Curmudgeon alert: looking at videos of ACL today is blowing my mind. Going to ACL in the early 2000's was much more...chill. Minimal lines. No completely insane crowds. I went by myself a few times & I'm notoriously not in favor of big overwhelming events. I'm so old you guys, so very very old

Just finished Digger and I am sorry to say I absolutely loved it. I understand Cruise is a weirdo but damn he is good. The sound design was amazing, all the colors and the surreal sets. Cruise gives one of his best monologues ever, and this may be one of his best roles #Digger #FilmSky

TW: weight loss, ED I have been on Zepbound for 1.5 months & I have lost 26 lbs which is huge for me. Bc of my fucked up metabolism issues, I've not been able to lose a single pound in yrs. The tricky part is feeling proud of myself w/o obsessing, that's what a hx of eating disorders will do

If I see one more list of things women should do to prevent being raped I will scream. Ppl post these lists like they're empowering women w/ info but that's not how rape works. Doesn't matter if you wear your hair in a ponytail, doesn't matter if you wear overalls. How about men stop being awful?

Watching an old Mtv "Week in Rock" episode from 1993 featuring Austin. It's... depressing. So many clubs, shops, restaurants, coffee shops, & bars that don't exist anymore. The skyline is completely different. A time before Greg Abbott and Elon Musk. Ugh 😩

Regarding US history, the romanticization of Reagan is wild to me. He is being misremembered as a moderate do-gooder. He ignored the AIDS crisis bc it was impacting mostly gay men, he made affordable housing for seniors inaccessible. He was against the voting rights act for God's sake. Come on

I don't know, I get irritated w/ ppl freaking out that this med or that med taken during pregnancy causes ADHD & autism. It really stigmatizes each condition, & shames & judges moms. I was on a fairly heavy psych med regimen with both my kids. They both have ADHD. Do I link the two? Maybe? 1/2

Okay I'm just going to say it & dodge tomatoes. Stop sharing pictures of Tr*mp and Epst*in w/ underage girls to make your point. Those girls don't have a say regarding using their images on a public platform. It's retraumatizing & triggering as fuck. Stop
