An address book from the 1940’s found in a thrift store. Full of names and addresses, a page of wedding anniversaries, and then some deeply haunting personal reflection. I can’t help but think about this woman in New York, during the war. Is her lover in Europe? Did he come home?

Here's the real kick about how Trump's tariffs are going to hike prices for everything: Once that happens, even if the tariffs go away, the prices are never, ever going back down again.

Holy shit. “I confess that I’ve been inadequate. That the Democrats have been responsible for allowing the rise of this demagogue.” Gives an impassioned apology and points to this as a moment of personal vow to action.

Decided to try a third attempt in my life at writing a horror play, with the last two results being “sad not scary,” much how my attempted romcom play turned out “sad and not romantic”. Hopefully being back on Adderall after a year off will help!

If you want to understand the DNC's relationship with trans people you have to ask yourself why Montana, Nebraska, and Oklahoma had openly trans legislators before California and New York (which still have never had any)

The movie The Apartment is such a great example of inflation and cost of living. He tells us he makes $95 a week, and his UWS apartment is $85 a month. In today’s dollars that would be $55k a year and $927 a month. Can anyone imagine paying less than one week’s paycheck for one month’s rent?

ask me to drive you to the airport. call me on your commute home from work. bring me with you on your tedious errands. even in the best case of our lives, the time we have together is too brief. let me carry the mundane with you.

Every single professional organization in the country should be speaking out about the news about NCMEC. The administration put a financial gun to the heads of people trying to save children from kidnapping and trafficking demanding they enact policies that will hurt lgbtq kids. That is beyond evil.
