Tess is Surviving the HorrorsI started getting followed by some "film festivals" and "writing festivals" and thought "oh, these are cool!" Then I looked a little closer. They're all part of a network that preys on writers, charging us for reviews, and feeding our stuff into slop generators. So I made a list.👋🏻🖕🏻😠

It's dangerous to go alone. Take this (the key to the locked up deodorants at CVS)

Sometimes I like to imagine she does these things on purpose and is just laying there trying really hard not to laugh. Like in her mind she’s an amazing dog comic. “Humans sleep like this…do do do… look at me, I am a human. I sleep like I am in a coffin…do do doo…”
Jokes aside, I see people go "I think I'm trans but I'm not gonna address it because of all the difficult stuff, what would I get out of it?" And the answer is true joy. That's what you get out of it. Unless you face yourself, fully and completely, and know who you are, you will never find true joy.

One of the most black-pilling things I ever experienced as a sociologist was getting to see in real time just how much everyday life could be changed in 2020-21 and then reactionary fash forces being like “lawl nope” and gleefully making life worse.
Lupita NihongoWhat I hate about COVID downplayers is… you won okay. In the aftermath of humanity coming together to develop the most crucial vaccines of our lifetime & collectively sacrificing to save lives, we are now less safe, less vaccinated & less empathetic than ever. You won ok. Lay down your swords.
The questions are no longer about whether Talarico is ahead and can he win. The answers are clearly yes and yes. Even Fox News now has him over 50%. The question is whether Texas Republicans can successfully suppress enough votes to swing the election. They are taking active measures to do so now.
one policy debate we deserve but are never going to get to have is what demands to be done to make blue states and cities whole after this presidency

I had my car broken into and laptop stolen in front of a police station in San Francisco and when I walked in to report the crime the officer on duty asked what I wanted him to do about it
Em, midlyIt’s so funny when people are like “sure you’re an abolitionist now but wait until you’re the victim of a property crime.” Buddy, the most useful thing the police have ever done for property crime is put the form you need to submit to your insurance online.

Lewis GoodallThere are working class and vulnerable kids who will never have the life they should have had because of school closures. Let’s address that too, shall we?
I was talking to a friend and realized that a lot of people don't know that officially Karen Carpenter died because of side effects of re-feeding. They fed her so aggressively that it damaged her heart. It's 2026 so the re-feeding process is at least in theory better but anorexia has a long tail.
OK, small point here, but it’s almost certain he meant “parameters of a deal,” but he can’t spell and is very dumb, so he used “perimeters of a deal” and news orgs are just running with it like that’s a perfectly normal thing to say, which it absolutely is not. That’s not a thing anybody says.
NBC NewsBREAKING: Trump pauses attacks on Iran, citing “perimeters of a deal” that would end Tehran’s “nuclear threat” and reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
There’s an ̶a̶n̶t̶i̶ ̶t̶r̶a̶n̶s̶ ̶…er, “pro Sophie Cunningham” protest taking place before the Lynx/Indiana WNBA game tomorrow, kitty-corner from where fans will be lining up for our final show of the weekend. I don’t think they know our fans.
