My daughter is falling in love with the library. So much so that she thinks you can get anything there. Today, she suggested we check out a potty from the library.

Total ICE spending in 2003 was $3.3B In 2024, $9.6B. This week, the Senate put forth a budget proposal that would allocate $350B toward mass detention and deportation ALONE.

Gender ideology (conservative) has gone too far. They sell princess “girl” and Bluey “boy” diapers. Why are Bluey diapers for boys?! Because Bluey is blue? She’s a girl dog and is beloved by all!

How’s this week going? I decided to spend my Friday lunch hour taking a long bath. I even shaved my leg… Apparently I was so distracted by the torrential downpour of nonsense that I shaved one leg twice.

Cool cool cool cool cool. This really bodes well for my public service loan forgiveness. 7/10 years paying into the program and these jerks are getting rid of information about it.

I find it really comforting when the internet tries to sell me something I’ve just bought. The internet knows too much, but it doesn’t know everything.

I live in a neighborhood with the word “Pleasant” in its name, and last night dreamt I was part of a local, radical queer/trans collective called “Queer and Pleasant Danger.” Super proud of my subconscious on this one.

Been thinking a lot right now - as I rely on 5 daily prayers for some semblance of sanity - about how, when I converted to Islam, it took me 2 years to call what I was doing “praying” and not “meditation” because American evangelical Christianity managed to ruin the whole idea of prayer for me.

This is a purely selfish feeling, but I have spent 12 years developing expertise in deportation defense (and gotten paid pennies doing it), and now! suddenly! American citizens everywhere! think the work we do has value, want us to come speak to them about it, and STILL don’t want to pay us.

I would really really like to sic some sovereign citizens on the people trying to get rid of birthright citizenship. If any two groups of people deserve to spend some quality time with each other (so we don’t have to deal with either of them), it’s those guys.

I’m so tired of AI. Can we just go back to Clippy, who was comfortably wrong about everything?

In light of ICE ramping up arrests of our neighbors, please enjoy* this snippet from my client’s ICE detention paperwork. *scream in horror at

I see a lot of well-meaning people emphasizing that most immigrants aren’t criminals. And whiles studies validate this, I think it’s also worth asking ourselves if we really think people with criminal histories should be deported.

I’m just saying that if I had the power to give executive orders, I would simply make it illegal for companies to discontinue good styles of underwear.

My Instagram ads have shifted to 100% weight loss, conservative bullshit, Christian nationalism, and Zionism in the past 24 hours. Please tell me this is just some fluke on my account?

This is a gross oversimplification, but if ICE shows up at your house, just remember that in most cases they are like vampires. No matter what they say (and lie about), they cannot legally enter without being invited in.

My daughter’s daycare class made leaves and hung them up in the hall. All of them had two eyes. Except one, that had one eye. And my daughter’s, which had three. It seems we have a craft thief on our hands.

Can we talk about the word “philanthropy”? You know, the Love of Humankind. Why do rich people who dodge taxes – sorry, I mean love people –get a special word for it?

My Brazilian language exchange pal is in the US for the first time and I am loving seeing this weirdo country through her eyes. So far, she loves thermostats and Reese’s cups.

The world is quite literally on fire from LA to Gaza, but today l'm here to ask you to call your senators and ask them to vote no on the Laken Riley Act. The bill passed in the House yesterday and is pure, opportunistic anti-immigrant trash.

The DMV is out here getting political <3 <3 "A spokesperson for the DMV offered a defense of [the law that allows undocumented NYers to get drivers licenses], 'Any claim that the [law] is worsening border crime is nothing short of a political fear tactic.'" www.cityandstateny.com/policy/2025/...

Tonight at bedtime, my 2yo yelled “no allahu!” (We usually sing isha prayer before bed) “want jingle bells!” V rude. V hilarious. V America.

My cutie lil brother bought my mom a fancy cashmere scarf and then paid an embroiderer to add a very demure monogram (1/2” tall, same color thread as the wool). When they went to pick it up, the embroiderer had decided to pivot and made the text 3” tall in bright white. She’s the asshole, right?

My extended family did a holiday curling excursion and I can’t recommend it enough. A) fun and nerdy B) a lot of queer curlers, apparently. I learned that curling is progressive on gender: you just have to self-ID your gender at the beginning of the season and you’re good to go.

Just reflecting on that fact that this time last year, the room we booked for our two-day drive turned out to be in a hotel that hosted a rave until 4am and they didn’t think it was worth warning us beforehand (because the hotel ALSO turned out to be “staffed” by an AI “concierge”)

My wife’s brain is a bit of an encyclopedia of throwaway lines from movies. Tonight at dinner, our 2yo declared the lamb ragu “So yummy Mami! It’s Who Hash!”, a reference to a can the Grinch steals from the icebox in her current fav book. There is no doubt these two are related.

Terfs: We need women-only spaces! Me: Correct. Terfs: No, but women only Me: Mmhmm. Terfs: No, but reeeeal women only! Me: Yep. Terfs: NO PEEPEES!!! Me: Now you’re just being weird. ⭐️Why is is so hard to get that trans women are real women⭐️

Usually, I think nursing a 2yo is funny and sweet, but tonight she grabbed my (non-nursing) nipple with her monkey toes and giggled and it was RUDE.
