Ladies… If you are currently taking baby steps towards a new future after you’ve been beaten down by life, you are not being tentative! Your baby steps are giant unwieldy, awkward, deeply courageous lurches into the unknown. Keep going 💖

The weather in Chicago in March is a toxic relationship. Love bombing one moment, behaving like 💩 in the next.

Detachment - When we detach from someone it doesn’t mean we don’t love them. It means we have the power of choice, and the ability to take care of ourselves first, in the midst of someone else’s choices. Don’t let anyone make you feel guilty for having, and choosing, this option.

When I think about how, over 10 yrs ago, a 22-yo dude ☠️ ppl with 🔫 🔪. & how his 141-pg hate letter to womankind became the incel’s playbook & bible. & how the narrative STILL only focuses on men’s loneliness… & how women are to blame for men’s violence because 1/2

Friends, if I could sleep my way to the top - i.e., consistently get 8-10 hours of restful sleep a night - I would totally do it.

FYI, when female octopuses are not feeling in the mood to mate, they strangle the males and eat them. Happy international women’s day.

This energy right here of a pride protecting their cubs from a nomad lion is what is from the Dems. Instead we’re getting cosplay and paddle signs. Al Green was the only one at the SOTU who showed heart & courage & no one matched him. The dems are spineless.

Women are too old, too young, too fat, too much, too little, not enough or crazy. Because the perfect age, weight, size or way to be is a man. Women are responsible for men’s loneliness, anger, sexual predation & emotional disregulation because the first rule in misogyny/patriarchy is, women 1/2

The USA sunk to a new low. Absolutely disgusting behaviour by this administration. The eyeliner vp showing off in front of his orange taint Daddy. They ruined a multi-trillion dollar mineral deal because they’re Russian puppets & their leadership is weak. And it all happened on Live TV. Such an 1/2

Emasculate: Verb — to deprive (a man) of his male role or identity. FYI there is no female equivalent for this word. Back to my point, it is really something to be the ‘weaker sex’ while simultaneously being powerful enough to dethrone a man of their defining gender identity.

It’s my birthday, today. This is what 57 looks like. A little bit about me; I like pretty, sparkly things, people who didn’t minimize the threat of fascism or outright vote for it, and saying the word “fuck.”

I lived in Austin & spent time in a community where Elonia would visit and do drugs in. Listen, he’s a full blown drug addict. He’s not even hiding it anymore. He can’t. Yes, he has massive amounts of money and power. But he’s powerless against drugs & he’s surrounded by enablers. The muskrat 1/2

In 2024, the landslide was people who didn’t vote - 85.9 million ppl to be exact. To put that in perspective, if “I Did Not Vote" was a candidate, they would've received 36% of the popular vote, won 21 states, and gotten 265 electoral votes. The orange taint, with his 76 mil votes against 1/2

My life got better in every way when I stopped being nice at my expense. Nice got me run over, disrespected, taken advantage, gave me low self-esteem, & made me angry & resentful. So I’m no longer nice. I’m now good/kind. I didn’t speak up when I was nice. 1/2

Let people be upset about the halftime show. Let them tantrum, pearl clutch and feel confused. Let them criticize and devalue. Give them no oxygen whatsoever. Use the mute button on them. Don’t educate, don’t explain, & certainly don’t argue. Don’t give them any attention, because attention 1/3

A crucial marker of self-esteem is having the ability to see yourself as the flawed being you are and still hold yourself in high-regard. I cannot tell you how much self-criticism I had to love in myself in order to get to a place where I could hold all the parts of myself as inherently good.

It’s clear, just based on how everything is now falling apart, that DEI was what was keeping it all working before.
