Hey World, I had more than enough of existentialism in my 20s. So please, let's get our shit together, shall we?

[collagen machine broke @chronicallybeee]

i’m so sick of the “this person was chronically ill but stayed positive!” inspiration porn shit. what about those of us that are fucking pissed? we exist and we aren’t any less deserving of accessibility.

@MoiraDonegan A therapist once told me I was "a recovering catholic" ... and yeah, considering I'm still trying to unlearn self-hate and guilt, that makes sense to me.

Why did no one tell me how freakin stellar Tia Carrera is as Lady Danger on "AJ and the Queen?" I mean really. I'm not mad, just disappointed.

[Stephan Lee 🏳️‍🌈 K-POP CONFIDENTIAL IS OUT NOW! @stephanmlee]

Hi, I don’t like talking about personal stuff here, but in light of anti-Asian violence in my native ATL, I want to share my experience of being assaulted by a group of strangers a block from my NYC apt in 2018, to shed light on how real anti-Asian hate is and always has been.

Well, actually:

A thread:

[kat chow @katchow]

I want to know their names, who and what they loved, the people they had waiting for them at home, everything they hoped for. I want to know the fabric of their days and the contexts of their lives.

[Jill Paz @jillip]

@bennessb Yes totally a sick day movie of mine too! Also "Robin Hood" and "Bedknobs and Broomsticks"

[Jill Paz @jillip]

Just thinking about the "not-a-cat" cat lawyer still makes me smile 😸

@beth_morton Well said.

When I feel broken it's usually not from the specific pain or fatigue or whatever, but from the chronic, incessant nature of it all.

#NEIS indeed!

Imagine discovering that a painting on your wall is a long-lost masterpiece. In two recent cases, the story centers on American painter Jacob Lawrence.

I want every child to know that this is what vice presidents and generals in the United States Armed Forces look like.

I would watch #TheUmbrellaAcademy based on the music integration alone. There are some truly stunning song/scene pairings.

@TinyWriterLaura @ShanBarnsley Hoping for abnormal results like this is CHRONIC ILLNESS LIFE in a nutshell. Congrats on yours.

Excellent op-ed on Collins reversing her support for #EqualityAct:

"This is the best chance we’ve ever had to strengthen civil rights protections for LGBTQ+ Americans in key areas ... And frankly, we’re tired of being used as election year pawns."

[Seth Taylor Nelson @sethtnelson]

Fear of discrimination kept me from coming out until I was 23. And I still don’t feel completely comfortable in my identity. That’s one reason why @SenatorCollins reversal on the #EqualityAct is personal. #mepolitics

I wrote about it for the @PressHerald: https://t.co/QoBfJGCclB

@Charlie_P_Perry @kciara215 @netflix imho the name says what it's about only at the basest level, and might be a bit limiting to the casual, older scroller looking for their next binge.

[Jill Paz @jillip]

Just popping on with this vitally important thought:

@netflix's "Teenage Bounty Hunters" is an excellent show with an unfortunate name but plenty of humor and social commentary. It really needs to be picked up for a second season!

Now back to your regularly scheduled program.
