it'll never stop being amazing to me that my phone can turn into a remote control for my TV, and that it works better than the actual remote. I love good technology.

I'll never shut up about the need for adults to start seeing children as autonomous humans and not programmable collectibles... so many current adults were children who were never given care, empathy, support, or autonomy. it's such an obvious pipeline and yet we keep replicating it!!!

I wish people who feel so strongly about boycotting Target would bring that energy to a company actively harming the planet. like how do you have this energy about DEI initiatives but you're still using Amazon........

I finished Attack on Titan and I do feel like dying would be preferable to ever having gone through this watch experience 🩡

there's a reason this is my most well-received post: people are tired of your aggressive, untrained dogs. including other dog owners. everyone needs to do better for the sake of our pets and the people around us!

We don't need more bad dog owners. I'm venting about dog ownership in 2025. JUST LET ME VENT.

"God forbid you ask [bad dog owners] to think about their pet from a communal-safety lensβ€”this is *their* dog and they will do whatever they want, everyone around them be damned!"

I'm gonna put y'all on:

$15 and you can watch the Oscars, Grammys, Super Bowl, etc. etc. for free if you just get an antenna. I have a 4K smart TV and all I have to do is connect the antenna when I wanna watch live TV. no streaming delays, no surprise cut offs.

I hide mine behind a plant 🀭

Putting Gal Gadot, pro-IOF, ex-soldier, onstage after No Other Land won best documentary is actually fucked thanks. Oscars

In advance of the Oscars tonight: a lot of comedy heroes let you down. They become unfunny/bitter/closed minded. Conan is the exception. He has grown & evolved & is funnier than he’s ever been. He’s also an extremely kind and lovely human. Just a sincere post to say: Conan rules.

with the added bonus of knowing that every time you use cash, it's like a tiny boycott against the monopoly Visa has on the world.

simple way to upgrade your support of small businesses: use cash! my business would have to pay on average $800-$900 in credit card fees EVERY MONTH. more than our utilities and software subscriptions combined.

you'll save your favorite places so much money by simply paying in cash πŸ’Έ

I hope you find those ways forward. "Somebody's Daughter" meant a lot to me to read, and I kept the shelf talker up for it in my bookstore for a year... we would all benefit from more of your writing!

Doechii's skin color and features will keep people talking solely about her genius and never how sexy and stunning she is. Megan's skin color and features keep people talking solely about how sexy she is and never about her freestyle skills and creativity. colorism is a prison πŸ€·πŸΎβ€β™€οΈ

people can hear Doechii rap "he gon eat this pussy up cuz it's sweet" while in a bra and panties with her BBL and still say "she's not like the other girls" because there's nothing she can do that will make them attracted to her or how she performs sexuality BECAUSE of her skin color and features.
