the ice cream place that i've been waiting to open for the past year has finally opened

If we survive this, I really hope parents take a long look at how they are teaching empathy to their children. It's so obvious that that is the missing ingredient in huge chunks of the population, amplified by social media algorithms and cultural rewards for reactions rather than thoughtfulness.

Hegseth is up there in the lists of most despicable, deplorable, and disgusting humans in history.

This is wrong and inaccurate. They are Mark Zuckerberg’s Pervert Glasses.

teen brains are completely unhinged

and also maybe predicted COVID in 2002

i just found a copy of a short story I wrote in high school after the SARS pandemic, in the style of a satirical TWILIGHT ZONE episode. and jesus, mary. teen emily was BLEAK.

Israel is bombarding, literally bombarding, two Middle East capitals, Beirut and Tehran, killing 100s of civilians, and yet the US and UK media continue to portray Iran as the threat to the region.

Israel has nukes, but Iran is the nuclear threat.

We live in Orwellian times.

Hi everyone! My name is Andrea LaFlamme and I'm running to unseat Susan Collins in the US Senate. I'm a feminist public health professor and the ONLY candidate in this race who has worked in education, municipal health, and as an elected union leader. (1/2)

my cute aggression is off the CHARTS right now. look at that precious thing!!

i don't know how much more of this we are expected to bear

there is actually an incredible naked molerat exhibit in the Bronx zoo

I once called house majority leader steve scalise a molerat on Twitter & he got so mad he called Microsoft to complain & an HR lady called me laughing to say please don’t call US Representatives molerats with MS in your profile but it’s fine if you just remove that part

Sometimes, I think the People Magazine staff took what happened to Teen Vogue personally and are pounding their chests, yelling, "What now, bitches?" when writing headlines.

Bounce around. I couldn't imagine eating the same kind of meal every night.

the great joy of deleting posts because you just don't have the energy

what are these people SMOKING

I keep seeing people say, "we want something new" as if there is anything new about being a relatively well off white guy with good family connections who says a lot of bigoted things online and expects to get away with it

that movie is truly an abomination but the HAT work was incredible

i'll always have a weak spot for Midsummer for SURE

not pictured: the unbelievably succulent squirrel i have named GusGus who sits on my back steps waiting for me every morning.

a red faced conure parrot (green with a red mask over its eyes) sits on a phone pole

two large black crows sit on the peak of a white garage

word has spread of the Pasadena Peanut Lady. the conures and crows have begun casing out the offerings of my yard! i also need a hummingbird feeder, because every time i put out peanuts, a ruby-throated sits in the tree and squeaks at me. he's left out.

right there with you. i've been trying to tone down my anger a LOT– i can focus on different and more constructive emotions– and if it slows down my "reach" so be it. i don't want to argue with anyone.

it wasn't!

i'm absolutely from a Genetic Hollow family. i'm gonna just look like a weird skull when i'm 80. it is what it is!

that fawn printed skirt suit is what i wear in my mind when someone visits me at my park avenue penthouse to tell me they have a lead on the Schiele I wished to add to my collection.

this son of a bitch. they're like a quarter cent a pen, they literally never run out of ink, and they oddly smell very good? a store i worked at in college would buy them by the truckload, i always left with 3-4 in my bun when i left my shift. perhaps that's why they bought so many.

a black and white edit that reads "the future includes trans people". around the text is a floral pattern. the image is grainy

the future is for trans people

i guess in extremely tiny good news, the eye twitch was just stress. now that i'm home from sf, it's completely gone

printed furniture directions with a part labeled as an "eccentric nut"

that cannot possibly be what those are called
