they want and need everyone to believe that it is hopeless and that nothing matters and that nothing will ever get better, but, like, they’re wrong. they’re liars. they lie, depression lies, this whole thing is a fucking con to get you to think that submission is better than liberty.

these people cannot win and they know it, their entire schtick is pretending that the reich on the march will keep everyone quiet and scared, but, again, we do not have to believe them, and if we do not, they lose.

We live in paradise but insist on making money & JD Vance our top priorities . How do we get out of this mess send post

I agree but also I think many people don’t even know they have this in themselves, so how can they change without basic self awareness? Sometimes it takes an outside force to spur introspection.

Writing. The cause of, and the solution to, all of life’s problems.

The only sense I can make about it is that this is the magic that upholds the patriarchy, made visible. Maybe abusive daddy will be good now! That is the one positive thing I can say and that’s a stretch.

I have blocked many people who insist that no one likes dark chocolate…. Straight up if you can’t conceive of other people enjoying things you don’t, despite a whole section of every grocery store proving otherwise, I don’t want to hear from you on anything ever.

Just peeking at different people as co I walked along Lake Harriet—two kids fishing, friends, a couple. I found this so touching. #minnesota

When you see a sleeping dog but you don’t let her just lay there you stick out your phone to photograph and she’s like: Squirrel? But then goes back to sleep. #summer

Mogg is out! DRINK! At least he can fall back on the family business of sending children up chimneys.

Jacob Rees-Mogg has lost his seat, and now must return home to the 18th century.

Yes. I just caught up on this. Yuck, a thousand times yuck. Baseline immoral and disappointing, and revealing a value system that’s… yuck. Sad.

You are right, I agree with this wholeheartedly. 💔

I’ll be just wrecked today because of the 6 hour delay yesterday and that wasn’t even that bad… comparatively, I made it home. But now I’m thinking about Mussolini, trains running on time, etc. Is the enshittification of everything making some long for fascism? I wonder…

I took my beloved on a sailboat and they gave her a life jacket 🥹🧡

I was one of many on the sunset sail… if you’re in Ptown and want to sail with your dog I can’t recommend them enough www.doggonesailingcharters.com

We did it! They even had a life jacket to match her hair bows… but it was super choppy so she basically flattened herself like a caterpillar. Still fun!

I did it! We enjoyed this view and she was given a tiny life jacket. Win win!

Thank you, JFK, for protecting the cape cod national seashore, we should be adding to your legacy but we can’t seem to get our shit together. ✨

I’ve taken a lot of horrible photos of seagulls in my life and damned if I’m going to stop now.

True but also he’s like a two year old showing off his poo in the potty. So proud.

Tourists on the streets looked at Clio and announced: Only in Provincetown! Should I disillusion them? Greetings from the land of Prince, mothercluckers!

I’ve navigated airports with dogs and without and let me tell you which is better ✨
