Costco and Trader Joes are yin and yang. Together they form a harmonious balance. One sells big piles of normal food, the other sells small piles of weird food. These are the two food piles people need

people who say “why do we need [fine arts, humanities degrees, mid-budget films] when they don’t make a ton of money?” are insufferable. why do we need chrysanthemums? why do we need bonfires or baleen whales or the color blue? we just do. we just do.

I appreciate everyone’s messages of support, I’m trying to get through all my mentions but as you can imagine, it’s been a bit of a busy day :) Remember - peaceful civil disobedience, and no kings, no tyrants. Not ever.

I like how, when I come back to work after having the flu, I make sure to let everyone know that I am barely alive: "Feeling better-ish I guess and anyway I'm here and moving v slowly but trying ahhhh" You gotta manage those expectations.

There are two people in Congress-the chairs of the Senate & House Appropriations Committees-who have enormous power over the illegal impoundment of funds appropriated by Congress, which is sowing chaos across the US.

Put aside the nastiness of this post, & the way in he attacks Zelenskyy as a dictator but says not a word about his pal Putin, & just focus on the way it is written: would you hire this weird person to work for you? Would you trust this odd person to teach your kid in school?

You guys. I am really not in the mood to start seeing a million dumb comics about Trump show up in my feed. Can we leave that level of useless trolling behind with the nicknames and everything else that didn't work the first time?

I keep seeing this. Guys, their literal job is to figure out what to do. They are not helpless even if they are not the majority. I really hope we can stop treating some of the most powerful people in the world as helpless and without sentience.

We can’t swing at every pitch, they said. We have to choose our battles, they said. We can’t overreact to everything Donald Trump and Elon Musk are doing, they said. Well fuck that and fuck them. We need to resist it all. We need to fight it all. And we need to start right fucking now.
