When your friend in another country agrees with your assessment that “we are fucked”….. yeah, it’s been a stiff drink sort of day.

Being a woman in the U.S. in 2025 is being a second-class citizen with no bodily autonomy and no pay equity and spending 10 years writing an essay about how casually men destroy women’s lives and not one day later, some fucker publishes a piece about how men not getting laid is a crisis

Why yes, I did just call someone a numpty. Apparently, Scots is often the only language that works.

I know you’re new to Congress, Mr. Fine, but we don’t call our colleagues terrorists here. It just makes you look idiotic. At a time when MN Democrats have been targeted for assassination by a right-wing extremist, your rhetoric is seriously dangerous. Apologize now.

In the last week, my dad ended up in hospital (he’s better), my kid’s “only place I feel safe” announced their closure, my last uncle died….
And it’s all eclipsed because those fuckers in the Senate think that people like my kid are bilking the system. Fuck all y’all.
