“I think it's worth to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights. That is a prudent deal. It is rational.” -Charlie Kirk

Listen up, genius: I can't have kittens because hoomans took that chance away from me. I get it: Without surgery, there'd never be enough of you to staff us. But I don't understand why some hoomans think it's OK to take away others' bodily autonomy or tell them to have kids. WTH.

Yesterday, I asked the guys who are doing construction near my office where their burritos were from because they always smell *so* good. They told me that the foreman's mom makes them for them, which was disappointing until this morning when the foreman came running over to

Rubber Saul. A series I did last year and still one of my favourite things I've ever done. The idea was to reimagine Beatles songs as film posters in the style of mid century graphic designers like Saul Bass.

Can we stop saying ‘Greta Gerwig scores biggest opening wkend ever for female director’ and start saying Greta Gerwig scores bigger opening weekend than any man this year - and most other years too. It’s the 24th highest opening in HISTORY. It’s bigger than TOP GUN MFING MAVERICK

ADHD packing list:

• 7 books you won’t read
• a tablet full of movies/shows you won’t watch
• random crap that sounded important 5 minutes before you left
• extra toothbrush?

Stuff forgotten:

• toothpaste
• an entire category of clothing
• one REALLY important cable

Someone told me I HAD to do the thing I was already planning to do, so now I can’t do the thing.

I can’t really explain why I can’t do the thing, I just… can’t do the thing.

[Sharyn November @sn0vember]

@adhdjesse YES

This is the saddest comment on the @nytimes opinion piece about American theater. I wish this woman had told her family she was going with a couple of girlfriends instead or was just going to enjoy an evening by herself.

What if I told you there are STILL sundown towns?! And they’re NOT just in the South! They’re ALL over the country there are a LOT in rural OH & Indiana so we never take the scenic route just main thoroughfares. Y’all act like this is ancient history when it’s not even history

Okay I just say a woman driving a car. She was wearing a wedding dress and a veil and looked cross and was driving really fast. And now I really just need to know this story!

[roxy demento @falseroxy]

poor people only: let's gossip. how the fuck is everyone going on like, multiple international vacations and road trips per year? i think the only vacations i've ever been on where when my ex brian would drive me to a remote location and fuck me in a tent for a week.

[Sharyn November @sn0vember]

Interesting responses.

“Emerging” as a middle-aged writer is very exciting. But also there’s so much to learn, it makes me feel like I’m running out of time. I know it’s not rational but there it is. Any other older emerging writers feeling this way?

TY @TylerJPetty for identifying this poet as Morgan Harper Nichols (https://t.co/Gz5MzHlQ32)

Zero advance. Editor is the “creator” bc they have to turn AI trash into content. Then they’ll market it as ~the first AI poetry evaaah~ and ppl will buy out of curiosity and novelty. All upside, other than the whole “unethical and will lead long term to authors suffering” part
