I don’t understand why Hemingway got to drink himself to death while writing a manifesto in a house full of cats but when I do it it’s “a maladaptive coping mechanism” and I “need to talk to someone”

It’s always fun to see the clips of the Sunday political shows because you get to go “yep the news lets people lie to them for an hour and airs it”

Maybe it is the abuses that create division, not report of the abuse, not consequence for the abuse.
Maybe it is bullying that causes division, not fighting the bully on behalf of the bullied.
Maybe it is lies that cause division, not the telling of truths.
Maybe we need to change the frame.

If you need multiple jobs while doing full time school, as I did, that counts you out of a TON of internships. I wasn't able to do one in undergrad and that severely affected my job prospects. In grad school I had to find my own paid internship to graduate. I have a mortgage in student loans.
Financial precarity. Yes university students have always been living on their last 20 bucks, but the number of students I talk to now who have *multiple* jobs in addition to being fulltime students, some of whom are taking care of family members' survival needs as well as their own, is shocking. 5/

I'm extremely lucky that I have my inlaws.
HELLO
While y'all are thinking about family obligations and gatherings, spare a thought for those of us who've always been on the outside.
Having shitty or difficult relatives is very different from never knowing any, or even their names.
Adoption does not guarantee love, a home, or even a place to go.

I've lost 40-ish pounds and my joint pain is exactly the same. From everything every doctor and busy body has said I should be pain free.
Weird. Maybe the weight gain was a symptom of the pain and not vice versa!

I had a point where walking left me in enormous pain. I went to one doctor whose main answer was "stop being fat" and just...didn't ask anyone else about it for a long time.
I tried so many things.

Dear fellow middle aged white women,
We're well known as cunts. And we deserve that title, as a whole. Let's fuck up ICE. Let's be cunty for good. Instead of calling the cops on your neighbors for having a party, film ICE.

I'm 41. Can't wait for the 4th-ish "once in a lifetime" economic crash of my life.
It’s funny to look back at the 2008 Financial Crisis (I was 17 at the time) because we’re literally seeing the same things happen again right now with AI. Living in the US is so FUCKED.
