Don't debate Trump supporters on the facts of this shooting. They lie and argue for the sole purpose of making you angry. It's a power move. It's a joke to them, and your anger is the punchline.
Instead, ridicule them. Laugh at them. They act tough because they are cowards. Everyone sees it.

Going to a movie tonight. Naturally, I had to change clothes. And so I’ve moved on from posting “outfit of the day” posts. It seems I’ve moved into the “outfit of the moment” realm. #ootd

So apparently, according to radio news, the Trump administration “hasn’t ruled out the use of force” to overtake Greenland? I was deeply disturbed when I heard this on the way to work. I’m really not sure what world I’m living in anymore.

I just listened to the song “Mr. Electric Blue” for the second time on my way to work. It’s a fantastic song. It gets me so jazzed. #music

As someone with ocd, adhd, schizoaffective disorder “bipolar type,” and sleep apnea, getting a full night of sleep with my cpap machine after many nights of sleeplessness or poor sleep is seriously one of the best feelings. Aiming for better sleep habits in 2026.

Fuck off, coloniser
On X, a senior U.S. Justice Department official is promoting a post that praises colonization as “one of the greatest things that ever happened to the backwards parts of the world.”👇

addiction is so stigmatized people forget it is a disability like any other—defined as such in the Diagnostic & Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
it’s heartbreaking how those of us who struggle with addiction internalize the pervasive message that we are simply screw-ups.

It’s one a.m. and I’m just starting my nightly reading. Tonight it’s back to horror, with a book on the world history of horror that I’ve been reading slowly and carefully but with great enthusiasm. Reading is resistance. #amreading

I’ve been fascinated by Virginia Woolf since my freshman seminar in 2002. This article completely reframes my view of Woolf’s later years and her death. I very much want to do a deep dive into Woolf’s writing now, starting with “The Voyage Out.”

Got no reading of any kind done today. But I worked for 11 hours and caught a 10:50 viewing of Marty Supreme, which was an awesome movie. Now thinking of how weird it is to like my job so much. It’s so fast-paced and challenging. I do so many things in a day. And every day is different.

Nicolas Maduro is a bad person and authoritarian who stole the presidency from Edmundo Gonzalez.
Trump's bombing of Venezuela and abducting their learders is unjustified and illegal.
Both things can be true.

Why the fuck are we bombing Venezuela? What in the actual fuck is wrong with Trump? Okay, you don’t like Maduro. So you decide to bomb the country? A lot of his idiocy has become a part of the mundane everyday (re: Arendt’s banality of evil), but this is alarming even by his admins’s standards.

There are definitely things I do well. These days, sleeping is not one of them. I suck at both falling asleep and staying asleep. Went to bed at 10, woke back up at 12:30, have been a frenetic ball of energy ever since. I blame the imminent full moon.

Posting my daily reading activity to motivate myself. Today:
-Two articles from the London Review of Books (applying psychoanalytic theory to political phenomena, the rise of the haunted house)
-One article from the LA review of books (Woolf’s experiences of fascism as written in her diaries)…

Every time I step away from re-selling, something pulls me back in. I love curating my online poshmark closet, and I have a lot to sell right now. I don’t do a lot of re-selling on Bluesky, but here’s my closet link, full of standard and plus sized women’s clothing. posh.mk/s7q8ospGCZb

CBS has fallen.
They’re promising news drive by the people & not by experts, academics or the “elite”.
It won’t be news, it will be state sponsored propaganda.
This isn’t how you do the news, this is how you ensure the public is placated, ill informed and unprepared to resist.
This is fascism.

Ok, everyone, what book is sacred enough to you to get sworn in on?
Coelho’s The Alchemist is the closest thing I’ve found to a spiritual text that actually influences how I live my life. I’ve taught it to high school sophomores and college undergrads. I’ve also read it many times on my own.

That’s an easy one! And yes, as is evident by my picture, I saw no movies between the 7th and the 25th. But hey, I’m a retail SM who was trying to survive December. IYKYK.

My coughing quieted long enough to get *5 hours* of cpap sleep. And it’s still calm, so I’m going for 3-4 (but maybe 5) more. This is so wonderful (*breaths immense sigh of relief and says a thank you prayer to the universe*).
