Me, then: "Hey, I'm going out with the girls this weekend for the first time since my panic attacks started. I'm a little nervous." Therapist: "OK, well, what is the worst thing you're nervous about?" Me, emailing her after last night: "APPARENTLY WAR WITH IRAN, JENNY."

I may have some gripes with Kaiser Permanente’s billing department, but at least they’re not UHC. If the GOP really wanted to take on fraud & waste, they should be looking at the insurance industry. They won’t, of course; they don’t bite the hand that bribes them.

Michael Pham fled Vietnam at the age of 13. He was named bishop of San Diego a month ago. Today, he stood watch at a courthouse: ICE agents were “standing there covered with masks as we walked toward the courtroom. Eventually the agents scattered and went away” timesofsandiego.com/life/2025/06...

Video consult sesh with integrative health lady done! That's my onerous task for today -- my husband loathes phone calls, but I CAN'T SEE video calls with my progressives, and my thumbnail of myself looks like a smeary gesticulating thumb with a bun, so they are a sensorily-hateful hellscape for me

Unless you have ADHD, in which case "pebbling" becomes "avalanching," it's me, hi, I'm the problem it's me.

Cool. I hope it helps us have a better relationship. Better they learn how to talk to me about their frustrations or whatever with support. (Unless they're someone I cut contact with, in which case, lie away, you fucking fuck.😀 )

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

#Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom—and a reminder that justice delayed is still justice denied. We honor the resilience of those who waited years to learn of liberation. And we recommit to fighting for the freedoms still being denied today.

The takeaway from the Tucker Carlson Ted Cruz interview is that the American public has been so badly cheated for so long by the people pretending to be the political media that when anyone asks a basic follow up that an 8th grade schoolpaper reporter would it feels like cutting edge journalism

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism “'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.' More of this, please"

So today is release day. I Think I'm in Love with an Alien is out in the world. It feels awkward to talk about this book with... gestures at everything but if I don't talk about it, you won't know about it. It's a love letter to fandom, to science fiction fantasy conventions, to cosplay.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds. He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings. He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights. This is political intimidation.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.
