I was born in 1961 too.
And this version of the past is a myth.
Kids did have food allergies we just didn’t have the science to name them.
I lost a brother before he was two because medicine didn’t yet understand what allergy killed him.
Trans kids didn’t “not exist.”
They hid. They were shamed. Many never survived adolescence.
Violence didn’t start with social media.
Bullying, racism, misogyny, and abuse were simply normalized and ignored.
Families didn’t stay together because things were better
they stayed together because women and children had fewer choices.
And no, it wasn’t just “Merry Christmas.”
We said Happy Holidays. Season’s Greetings. Yuletide.
Nobody lost their mind. Nobody felt threatened. We just… lived.
I rode buses and subways too
they weren’t magically safer.
We just didn’t talk about what happened on them.
What really changed wasn’t people.
It was visibility.
Data replaced denial.
Voices replaced silence.
And accountability replaced nostalgia.
The past wasn’t safer.
It was quieter because suffering had nowhere to go.
I don’t want a time machine.
I want a future where we stop confusing silence with peace.
Stop being such a boomer.
When my mom passed I gave a eulogy where I had to stop and count to 10, just so I could breathe. I said “I just got through the last 10 seconds” and then I did it again. And again. I said “I’m going to have to spend the rest of my life counting to get through it without her” sometimes all you can do is make it through the next 10 seconds.
My new song came out last night. I hope you love it.

Sabrina Carpenter showed up with gusto at Variety‘s annual Hitmakers event, accepting the Hitmaker of the Year award and telling her audience, "The easiest way to write a bad song is to try to write a hit":
“Write the opposite of what you think a hit is. Write what speaks to you, write something that only you can write. Write the music you want to listen to yourself. Add the weird chord progression and key change, and call men stupid in as many ways as you can.”

This morning, ICE agents came to Dodger Stadium and requested permission to access the parking lots. They were denied entry to the grounds by the organization. Tonight’s game will be played as scheduled.
California will keep fighting on behalf of all our people including in the courts.
If some of us can be snatched off the streets without a warrant, based only on suspicion or skin color, then none of us are safe.
Authoritarian regimes begin by targeting people who are least able to defend themselves. But they do not stop there. Trump and his loyalists thrive on division because it allows them to take more power and exert even more control.

Jake’s really out here taking shots at the wrong Mike.
I’m at the hospital right now helping to treat sick, elderly patients and Jake is getting ready to try to beat one up.
can't happen bc in order to be this obsessed with clothing you have to give up the idea that it's gay or feminine for a man to be into clothes. the narrow definition of masculinity you've set up for yourselves prevents you from learning about interesting things
