I’m trying to get it all down in words; the fear, the grief, the hilarity, and the joy, dammit.

Every 10pm I want a sheet cake. Is that a circadian rhythm thing or

Holy crap. Julianne Nicholson’s portrayal of the grief of losing a child, meh gawd. #paradise Watch it! It’s cool, sad, weird, suspenseful, beautiful.

Nothing refreshes my memory of what I need from the grocery store like coming home from the grocery store.

Yoga breathing is all through the nose. Some days in the studio this is a real challenge.

THEM: you look tired ME: I am tired THEM: oh right because of the… ME: the horrors yeah THEM: right right, that’s right

Happy Economic Blackout Day!

A grassroots movement is calling on all Americans to abstain from shopping with major retailers tomorrow, February 28, as part of an “economic blackout.” I encourage you to join. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/boycott

Not all men. Gomez Addams would never.

Honestly, all she had to do was gloat about writing Harry Potter for the rest of her days (“You’re welcome for your lovely childhood, idn’t it?”) instead of making up lies about which women count.

So proud of my kids rn. We’re on a family walk and one sees an old friend from school and casually calls, “Hola, Diva!” Then the other sees that someone spray painted an Apple logo on a wall and was like, “What a waste! They could have graffitied a penis! Or a swear word! So cringe. Come on!”

I’m tempted to give up on being a published novelist. Life is hard enough and writing is hard. Writing a meaningful story well is REALLY hard. Rejection hurts. It feels personal even when you mostly know it’s not. (1/ )

“Women, next time you find yourself sexually harassed at work, make sure that it’s not just A) That you’re grossed out and need to get over it or B) That he’s religious, therefore not sexually harassing you because it’s just his unique, quirky, communication style.” www.jezebel.com/he-who-is-fe...

Maybe corny but it was helpful for me to hear Henry Rollins saying "this is not time to be dismayed, this is punk rock time, this is what Joe Strummer trained you for... You can be thunderous in your own life, to the eight people around you. That rubs off... Goodness is viral"

We volunteered at an animal sanctuary this weekend. It’s fine. Everything is fine.

I wish dogs could help make their end-of-life decisions, but how would we even explain the concept of death to them? “Ok, you know how everything is SO FUN and AWESOME? Well, that would stop.”

This idyllic scene, as reviewed by my young teen: Boring. Not enough fish. Little sibling tried to catch a turtle and that was annoying. None stars.

I’m so happy the #snl50th didn’t give any of its 180+ minutes of air time to the present asshat in power. It was jubilant, sweet, silly, loving, and a welcome rest from the fear and pain. Good on them.

Does everyone debate who has to sleep on the murder side of a hotel bed/room? Visiting Universal Studios with my kids this weekend and when we made our hotel bed selection, they were clearly thinking: “Here, take my mom. I think she’s pretty much done with her skin anyway.”

Alright now. This is comedy!

This year, get her what she really wants for Valentine’s Day. Revenge.

I woke myself up snoring twice and I wouldn’t be at all surprised if a tiny fart escaped in my deep chill- is that what they mean? (j/k it’s horrifying they have to say this, I hate it here)

There’s a burger in the cafeteria where I work called ‘El Gato,’ which, in Spanish, means ‘cat.’ Yes, it’s located in a city called Los Gatos, so they’re just trying to be cute but….🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🍔, right?

Here’s to hoping

Listen friends - gather your hope where you can. People showed up in all 50 states on a moments notice. Voicemail boxes of senators are filling up. Lawsuits are being filed. Look at all the good people. And do not forget to take care of yourselves. Seriously. This is a long haul.

Thou shalt impeach the motherfucker.

Resisting Trump and Project 2025 in Austin, TX Please SHARE because the MSM is mostly silent on these protests abcnews.go.com/live/video/s...

I actually prefer to be under anesthesia for most minor procedures like conference calls and grocery shopping and folding laundry

What is your ‘smoke ‘em if you got ‘em?’ survival treat right now? Mine’s (as always) all the wine and chocolate chips straight out of the bag.

The American College of OB/GYN’s website is now hosting the critical documents purged by the CDC This is what every professional medical organization should be doing right now #MedSky www.acog.org/clinical/cli...

When in Cuba in 2001, it was bizarre to me how every piece of news, every public space was talking about/celebrating Fidel Castro. There was children’s programming talking about how he was the country’s savior. Fox News in the employee lounge rn is the same. Will ALL media be Trump= hero soon?

We are at this inflection point in American democracy being no more bec a majority of adult white people can’t handle black & brown (& women) being treated w/dignity & equality to their humanity, & most white Americans would rather destroy🇺🇸democracy & their comfort than see that come into fruition.

I listened to a podcast last night, where activists/journalists/historians put this whole cruel clown car administration in context, and I found it really helpful to ease my soul. I blogged about it and include the link to to episode. www.sarahzwriter.com/post/the-ant...

I found the historian/activist/journalists here really helpful in understanding this moment of regression. Inching forward in progress, there are eras when ppl die w/ fewer rights than they’re born with. The big orange thug just current instigator, nothing unique. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w...

“Sorry, dad, it’s just business,” says my 13 y/o, cooking in Mario Party.

Look all I want is one (1) little bookcase-accessible secret room where I can go watch murder shows and drink serotonin milkshakes with Dolly Parton and the ghost of Betty White, is that so much to ask?

Happy Black History Month, and yeah, we're still doing that.

Just a regular reminder, be punk as fuck

“I took my rescue dog to the internal medicine specialist today” should be an income bracket. Also, if it turns out it’s just anxiety after all these $$$ tests, I’m going to be so bent. I’m anxious, too, but you almost never see ME peeing on the floor.

But in my experience, it’s not really ‘Have turned into,’ it’s just finally I’m noticing, reckoning , standing up against their cruelty despite what it costs me.

youtu.be/mtNJqSU7tPs?... “I’m closing all the doors behind me, so if you didn’t make it in…Oops! Your bad. Figure it out.” Issa Rae has got to be the funniest person alive on this planet rn. Love her.

I was told by a writing coach this week that ‘women’s rage is really popular right now.’ Oh, convenient.

I hear we’re all sharing cute lil reasons to live here? I submit baby human smooching baby goat.

Marriage therapist said, “Life is pretty lifey lately, huh?” Yes, ma’am. It’s dropping big flaming piles of life all over the place, even caught it flinging life from its perch on the tree.
