Happy New Year

Mood going into 2025…

It should be hard to be any shittier than the health insurance industry already is. But somehow they make it look easy… Guess that’s what happens when you’re highly motivated to make $$$ at any cost.

Alternative New Year's Resolutions: -age better than your exes -be healthier than your parents -sleep 8 hours a night -charge your phone outside of your bedroom -wear sunscreen every day -donate 10 items you never use -make plans with a new friend every month -dance more often -be proud of yourself

I feel seen 😂🌯

I heard a bird sing In the dark of December. A magical thing And sweet to remember. "We are nearer to Spring Than we were in September,” I heard a bird sing In the dark of December. Oliver Herford

Oh my… 🤦🏻‍♀️ 😂😭

If they could be satisfied w less, would they be billionaires? Richest people I’ve ever known were also the stingiest, even if they grew up w/o $. You can bring up how they ordered extras no one else did at dinner, they still insist on splitting the bill evenly 🤷🏻‍♀️

Anyone else think Luigi Mangione should be extradited to Jersey, not NY? I hear NJ has more of his “peers” (Italian mafioso) for the jury pool. Plus, if he ever escapes, all those drones over Jersey should be able to find him faster than the slow walking, bushwhacking NYPD!

Just manage TODAY. Don't get ahead of yourself. Don't get sucked into trying to handle tomorrow's choices or re-litigate yesterday's decisions. Your trauma recovery happens in the decisions you make TODAY. Your "parts" need your patience, compassion, & presence TODAY.

I will never, ever get over this.

I'm a sucker for a great mash-up and this is one of my favorites: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYNS...

Sometimes it feels like Fetterman will eventually become the RFK Jr of the 2030s…

A lot of people think everything will work out if we just play by the rules but don’t seem to recognize that rules only matter when everyone agrees to follow them and, well, that isn’t our present reality.

Listen

Glad people are leaving X, that hasn’t been about free speech for a while now. Feels a lot more like early Twitter here, which is refreshing. But already running into snowflakes here & that isn’t great.
