RFK Jr. wants to cut Meals on Wheels to elderly and disabled persons. Another example of this administration’s unthinking cruelty. Pass it on, and possibly they will be embarrassed into continuing the program.

So confused by this “crisis of masculinity” bullshit. Is the crisis because we can cry now? I bench the same when I love all my queer friends and my hands are still manly when I’m reading a book by a woman. “Manliness” is bullshit. Be you. Be good. Love hard. Forget the rest.

I wanna know what kind of blood repelling shirt he was wearing. Such a tidy ear injury.

This matters to me. A lot.

This is your periodic reminder that no one is forcing you to be a writer. You do it because you have to. You do it because universes pour from your fingertips. You do it because it's the best gig ever. You do it because it's how you process pain, joy, fear, love, and hope. (1/3)
