I don't have low self-esteem. I have low esteem for everyone else. Except BTS.

Republican politicians are allowed to go on TV and say the most gutter racist shit about a Super Bowl halftime show featuring a Spanish-speaking artist but if a single Democrat called what's happening on the White House lawn "white trash" it would be repeated for years

horrified to learn that Brits think caramelized onions are onions with caramel on them 😭

Stateside, a gas station. I drank a frozen blue beverage too quickly, and was struck down by a punishment this entire nation knows, and accepts, and has named.

The drink is called a slush. Ice, sweetness, and a blue that does not occur in nature. The day was hot. I was thirsty. I drank like a soldier at a river.

The pain arrived in my skull like a war horn.

Behind the eyes. Above everything. Total. I gripped the roof of my car. I may have made a sound.

"Brain freeze," said the cashier through the door, with no urgency whatsoever.

It has a NAME. The affliction is so common it has a household name, like a cousin.

"Tongue on the roof of your mouth," called a man at the pumps. He did not look over. He prescribed the remedy mid-pump, casually, the way one mentions weather.

I pressed my tongue to the roof of my mouth. The war horn faded. The healer nodded at his pump, finished, and was gone in a Chevrolet.

In my land, punishment follows crime by way of courts and seasons. Here, the sentence is instant. Drink with greed, and the ice strikes the mind directly. No trial. No appeal. Perfectly fair.

And here is what moves me. EVERYONE has felt it. The cashier. The healer. Children. Elders. An entire nation united by the same small lightning, all taught the same cure, all passing it on to strangers at gas stations, free of charge.

You cannot fully distrust a country once you know it shares one pain.

The freeze does not punish thirst. It punishes haste.

I finished the slush slowly, like a scholar. Blue tongue. Clear mind.

Then at the door I forgot everything, drank deeply, and was struck down again.

"Tongue, hon," said the cashier, without looking up.

Discipline is a journey.

To recap:
Trump started a war.
Couldn’t win the war.
And now Iran gets $300 billion to stop the war, while we all pay more for gas and everything else.

This is Trump’s “Art of the Deal.”

I actually AM clicking the tiny x to close the phone game ad correctly each and every time. The ad companies just got so mad that I'm perfect at tapping the tiny xs that they programmed the ad to ignore attempts to close them and just open the link to the app store anyway.

He's giving Iran $25 billion to reopen the Strait of Hormuz that was opened for free before the war.

Art of the Deal!

Remember, during today's literal cage match on the White House grounds:

No matter what, it's not his house. It's our house.

Get a hat, coaster, or sticker to support groups and candidates who will respect the form AND the function of the people's house. https://t.co/yGDgJciDQZ

Julia Roberts: Renee Nicole Goode is not a symbol. She is an American woman, a queer woman who was doing the very best she could do to be good in an unjust world.

And I am honored to celebrate her life and her legacy tonight, because the life she gave is our responsibility to carry.

Eating in Mexico coming from England or Scotland has got to be a transcendent experience. Like seeing colors for the first time
