If you're lucky enough to have made it to adulthood relatively unscathed and are still waiting for your pastor, your partner, or your parents to tell you what to believe and what to do with your life, you're already screwed.

If we had a thriving middle class in this country, poverty wouldn't be the only problem less people would experience. Not everyone would be happy but the opportunities for happiness would be far more plentiful.

I grew up in a family full of outdoors and nature lovers. People who go hunting every season, go fishing, and camping year round. They've always voted republican too. I don't get the disconnect they have in believing how rolling back tons of environmental protections won't affect them in any way.

One of my college besties introduced her to me 20 years ago. If you love Tori Amos, you'll love Charlotte Martin. I've been revisiting a lot of the stuff I fell in love with during college. Just as good now 🖤

Only in America could a Ketamine-infused South African oligarch call a navy captain, astronaut and sitting US senator "a traitor" for supporting our allies and standing up to Russia...

I went to the cheapest state college I could find and hustled like an old hooker to pay off my student debt. I absolutely support loan relief and/or forgiveness for any kid wanting to further their education and better themselves.

As a foodservice industry worker for the past 30+ years, I am a huge proponent of automatic gratuity on everything. Times are hard, and as things continue to get more expensive, relying on people's kindness to make a living from is not sustainable long term.

I loved Tales Of A Fourth Grade Nothing when I was in Elementary School. So I've decided to go on a Judy Blume binge. Starting with In The Unlikely Event and Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret.

Another meaning for DEI that I like: Dignity, Empathy, and Integrity. Something else those on the right aren't into.

Judge Judy always gave me a ton of anxiety. Boomers love to watch young people being fuck-ups and conflating it to all young people being fuck-ups as a way to ignore all of their own shortcomings. Not my jive.

New piece in the works. I got inspired by the recent sighting of an anglerfish close to the ocean surface in Spain.

"Cancelling" implies you were into someone before they made bad choices, and now you're not. You can't cancel people you always knew sucked. The latter is a much bigger number than the former for me.

I grew up around a lot of Christians who never took a break from telling me what it took to be a "real man". None of them could hold a candle to Carl Dean. Rest in peace 💙

Normally I don't care what I overhear from people I wait on. But yesterday, I heard some white collar bros around my age saying that during times of war and civil unrest, women become more fertile and make babies easier . . . . .

I'm kinda shocked that no queen on Drag Race has done Lizzie Borden for Snatch Game. It has the potential to be epically hilarious.

I still feel embarrassed by a lot of the things I did and went along with when I was a kid and young adult within "the church". But I was a kid and young adult. The work I've done to surpass all of that crap far outweighs any of the shame that still lingers.

This might be the most gorgeous thing I've ever watched. Definitely part of my all-time bests with Flee, Persepolis, Triplets Of Bellville, Perfect Blue, and Princess Mononoke.
