I don’t want to be a trad wife or a boss bitch, I want to be a schlubby funny guy married to a Type A over-achieving hot woman who is always fondly exasperated with me.

A lot of YCSE criticism seems to boil down to “it is irresponsible to make art that most people are too dumb to understand.”

I’m not sure you can fully understand YCSE unless you’ve worked in tech, yes the movie isn’t really about Holmes and we all know enough about guys like Evans (unfortunately) to be familiar with the archetype, but if you’ve been immersed in tech circles it just adds another layer to it.

It is absolutely shocking to me the extent to which most people simply believe everyone is always telling the truth, and in some circles it seems to be considered a sort of moral imperative to behave as if you are a credulous fool, like it’s mean to point out when someone is clearly lying.

At the voting place casting my futile, irrelevant, ceremonial vote for Talarico, the trans betrayer of last resort. Immune from center libs yelling at me for another year.

Honestly I can’t remember a point in my childhood where I wasn’t both sexualised and told I was failing in my role as a sexual object

the whole thing of being open-minded isn’t saying all viewpoints are equally valid, it’s subjecting them all to equal scrutiny then rejecting the ones that are evil or backwards or stupid

being properly open-minded doesn’t mean shrugging every time you encounter a fucked up viewpoint and saying you guess it takes all kinds. it means interrogating the viewpoints you encounter and deciding whether they’re fucked up. being thoughtful and interested but ultimately making a firm call

“Mama, I see that the baby is finally momentarily content and you have briefly closed your eyes. Therefore, I shall now flail about in your lap, whining and punching.” — my 5yo

Me: “Ugh there are some ants in the car here.” My 5yo, urgently: “Are they fire ants or piss-ants?”

Instagram could never figure out the politics of my finsta, showing me a bizarre mix of content across the political map. Until I reported an ad for the Navy as a call to violence, and now the algorithm is Aware.

Me: “Hmm if this situation goes on for much longer it could get a little frustrati—“ My 5yo: already issuing forth an ear-splitting, unceasing banshee wail

I need to retire so I have time to go through all my tabs.

I mean, I was definitely there, but I wasn’t having any fun at all, if that helps.

What they don’t tell you about having children is how several times a day for the rest of your life, you will have a sudden stray thought about something bad happening to one of your children and will immediately go ice cold with fear and despair and need to puke. Still worth it.

(ms. rachel showing a squad of UMD-YDSA militant recruits how to clean the breech and bolt carrier group of a looted m4 carbine during the 2027 Hyattsville Offensive) aaaand open! yaaaay!

It’s minor compared to all the other horrors but one really frustrating thing about being alive in 2026 is always having flax seeds stuck to the bottoms of your feet.

It’s such a relief when all 40 of the kids’ finger and toenails are for once clipped, and so exhausting to know it will last at most a week.

I always wondered why moms’ voices were so blastingly loud in all scenarios; now I realize it gets that way from constantly trying to get the attention of someone who is resolutely ignoring you.

Well I certainly always had to remind myself which was which so I can see why Death would say fuck it, twofor.

Doctors telling their patients to lose weight:

Cracking open the first Heated Rivalry novel: “Ok! Time to find out about this “sex” thing y’all are all going on about all the time.”

in america you have to go to the polls and vote for a rapist on purpose or else everyone will get mad at you. american democracy, the greatest system on earth

Caroline Calloway Ozempic Thinkpiece is my Madison Square Gardens

It’s really annoying that Bluesky is apparently too intelligent for Caroline Calloway discourse.

There’s some sort of weird online campaign because I am seeing old white people all over reiterating this exact talking point, as if this lady took her baby with her to ambush a drug cartel.

I AM regularly irritated by how much my kids intrude on my “staring at my phone” time. “Go away, children. Mama’s watching her horrors.”

I want “Ms. Rachel moms” to become the new demographic nobody can afford to ignore. I would follow Ms. Rachel into war.

Ms. Rachel is an absolute hero. A warrior for humanity facing down an army of soulless demons.

Omg, I forgot all about Champions!!! The elevator!

It’s interesting that a punishment for my daughter is having to sit down for five minutes— a thing which is my deepest desire and which she has prevented me from doing for the past five years.

“we need a real member of the working class to bring real change for regular people to this country!” okay then back latina nurses instead of white dude ex-mercs

One thing I love about a jogging habit is I’m now fit enough to outrun a predator, provided it chased me for exactly 30 minutes at a consistent 3mph pace over flat terrain, and I had my earbuds.

There’s nothing on Earth I’d rather stare at than my baby’s beautiful face, except for my phone. Leave me alone, baby.
