Corporations taught us that fashion labels are important They taught us beauty is the highest virtue They taught us that a car represents our values They taught us that a diamond equals love They taught us to hate our precious bodies They taught us that image matters more than LOVE STARVE THEM.

Today I realized that the Target brand mayonnaise I bought two months ago and have made numerous sandwiches with expired last November. But I guess it’s fine since I’ve put it on numerous sandwiches and not died. I’m still throwing it out now that I know though.

I was starting to get angry at everything and then I remembered I woke up at 4 am and couldn’t fall asleep again. I had to put myself down for a nap like a big toddler.

Don’t watch ‘The Four Seasons’ if you’re looking for a good, light-hearted time, oh my god.

I think more people in the mountain west would cook if someone would tell us how to adjust for the altitude instead of the low-elevation-assuming instructions and general advice most things give, if anything at all 😩😭 I can only ruin so many things “figuring it out” yall!

Say what You will but this is a banger of an admission. This guy has zero idea how a business operates. We now know he managed to bankrupt his own casino.

My husband doesn’t like Natasha Lyonne in anything. But no one has accused him of being a man of much taste, that’s what I’m here for. 🤷🏼‍♀️

I have a way of not letting you in after you show me that you not only don’t understand me but aren’t willing to accept me because of that that some people really don’t like. They can kiss my fat vagina.

AOC: The math is not adding up. Their claim is that one million undocumented people are on Medicaid. So why are they trying to cut 13.7 million Americans off their healthcare?

It’s been a few weeks it seems since I’ve heard any noise about the Abrego-Garcia case — I felt a little bit of horror set in just saying that because I am also thinking about the others who received less attentions such as the gay hairdresser sent there. Where are these men?

LaGuardia is really nice now but I still have LaGuardia trauma from when I flew in in 2016 and wondered if I’d landed in rural Texas or some other far flung place with terrible airports.

I have had such a great time in NY — it’s nice to revisit my old haunts and the old me. It’s nice to know I’ve still got some of the skills if I ever need them again. It’s also a nice reminder that I am living the life I pined for when I was a spry young New Yorker however short a time that was.

Since I first came to New York almost ten years ago, there are certain rooms in the NYPL Main Branch that I have never seen open — before today. They are currently holding a fabulously broad “Treasures” exhibit at the moment as well.

The people constantly braying about “Christian values” are attacking the Pope for suggesting that we love others.

I get so sad when I travel alone — it’s not too bad this trip, but I miss my family. I miss my little men. Not being near them never gets easier.

I had a whole menty b last night where I panicked, unpacked my beautifully done packing job, and split my clothes between my personal item and carry-on just in case they wanted to hate check it. I was in TEARS last night. And I’m not complaining…but this flight isn’t nearly full.

I am in the airport in Denver and EVERY conversation around me is related to the New Pope and who he is going to be. The energy is palpable — we don’t get many moments like this and I live for sitting in the midst of the energy.

I love when the Uber driver understands the assignment and the “quiet ride” selection. Terribly underrated service.

It is so rude when they put your gate at the end of the terminal in one of those little forgotten areas.

That Linda McMahon letter to Harvard edited in red pen, purportedly by Harvard. Nice work, even if not.

One of the lasting effects of being educated as a child in South Carolina public schools is that you have a healthy lifelong fear of the boll weevil wreaking his havoc again.

I have found that it is a winning strategy to say “If only Trump could have been President sooner to fix what Obummer and Sleepy Joe broke!” when MAGAs complain about Obama or Biden. I can’t tell if they think I don’t know that Trump was President before or if they just somewhat connect the dots.
