ALL OF THAT SAID.

"You're so brave. I support you 100%" said in private right now? Not stupendously useful. And also if you're saying it to someone who has no choice but to "be brave" in order to exist... sounds a little out of touch.

Target boycott is over
Like Theres WPD in the Middle East

Like The Iran war is going to be short (but not)
Like Epstein died of natural causes
Like BLM was unwarranted
Like unions don’t matter
Like abortion access was fixed law

Keep trying to sell lies

I just learned that Anthony Bourdain was 44 when he wrote the book that really launched everything we will remember him for.

Gonna remind myself of this whenever I feel like I'm getting too old to pursue anything new.

Grammarly Is Facing a Class Action Lawsuit Over Its AI β€˜Expert Review’ Feature The feature, which Grammarly shut down Wednesday, presented editing suggestions as if they came from established authors and academicsβ€”without their consent.

I'm suing Grammarly over its paid AI feature that presented editing suggestions as if they came from me - and many other writers and journalists - without consent.

State law requires consent before someone's name can be used for commercial purposes.

And...anytime you use actual WIC coupons, you had to be really skilled because those things are unnecessarily complicated..so yes you can actually navigate the real world, unlike say a congressperson who has a million minions to help navigate food, car service, interacting online and life in general

He quotes the Bible and then conservatives quote him like it's news

I mean..it probably is to them because I doubt they read the Bible

But that's a them problem

(having to explain every iota of the church world can be exhausting, but she seems to get enough of the gist of things that I can breeze through it and she can keep up)

The world continues to be on fire
Luckily a new counseling center has opened up so I found a new therapist and

She is actually a fast processor and does not seem to be stymied by church things...so I think it's going to work

Yay

Just wrote another gay story.

In this year of Audre Lorde 2026, I will not be writing non-gay stories.

I am not taking questions at this time.

Hmmmm. I have a BjS and their gas on the credit card ( a luxury) alone is worth the price. However a Costco may finally low so I have to figure it out. Currently have 3 teens so I can hit a different grocer basically everyday for an essential and be fine. The fridge never closes at my house.

My grandfather’s family was split up as kids and sent to relatives bc his father wasnt earning enough to support the family pre-depression era. Then they did well enough during the depression they felt relatively rich. He never forgot it.

This didn't happen. The perception that it did is largely based on fictional shows that were about rich people. Much more common was a household where one person (theoretically Dad in a het household) was the higher earner and paid the housing costs and the other paid utilities & food

Talrico saying that God is nonbinary is a. True

If I think too hard about how every horrible thing right now is completely manufactured and wildly unnecessary I don’t think I’ll come back from it 🫠🫠🫠

What I think about Tyra Banks is…

She was in a do a home makeover for a friend show (I don’t remember which one) & she had to go back to elementary school friend to find one

And they hadn’t seen each other in forever

And that told me a lot about how she conducted her prof life

Maybe everything

A Group of Trans Women in India Helped Vaccinate Almost 1,500 Children β€œPeople started inviting us in, offering us tea, and asking for advice,” one trans woman involved in the campaign said.

β€œLooking to combat vaccine skepticism and mistrust of officials among migrant residents β€” especially those who are undocumented β€” organizers enlisted trans women to bridge the communication gap.β€œ

This one I found interesting :)

The Sun makes a sound but we can't hear it. In the form of pressure waves, the Sun does make a sound. The wavelength of the pressure waves from the Sun is measured in hundreds of miles, however, meaning they are far beyond the range of human hearing.
