Whatever you think of the Washington Post at this moment, here's a chance to support the dedicated, hard-working journalists who were just laid off. If you have the means, your donation is most welcome. If you don't, a kind thought and maybe spreading the word to others is support enough 💙

I’m curious: You know the people who we were told were angry and hateful and lashing out politically because being white wasn’t allowed anymore (🙄) and the country was changing and leaving them behind? Are they happy now? Spreading joy? Doing random acts of kindness?

And if not, what will it take? (My idea is that what it will take is for there to be zero living, happy non-white people AND nobody is allowed to say what ICE is doing isn’t nice, because that makes them feel judged and alienated and left behind all over again)

For a while I didn’t watch this because 1) why would I care about football and 2) the show is my enemy because it steals Joel’s Saturdays, but I’ve been tuning in and they are actually all really delightful and have great chemistry (and I’m only biased about one of them!)

It’s thrown me off to learn that people keep track of how many books they read and I think they’re showing off! I’m sure it only takes 4 seconds but I can only fantasize about having my whole life together enough to do a voluntary administrative task

Dez had a really negative reaction to my explanation of Kwanzaa & I finally realized it was because “it’s an African American tradition”’is what I say (mostly to entertain myself) every time I put lotion on his face and he yells “Whyyy??!” I guess it was sounding a little too similar 😂

Thank you! I have what I need for now and my inbox is overflowing with promising pitches. I told myself I would respond to each one but at this point (after midnight on Saturday, technically Sunday) I’m admitting defeat. Please accept my apology

This is a crazy thing to come on here and say given everything going on in the world but I have to get it off my chest: People are selling “original artwork” on Facebook marketplace but it’s very clearly what they made at a sip ‘n paint

To the person sending multiple fake letters to Slate Advice: I am begging you to vary the voice, length, and sentence structure and take the drama down a notch to make the stories more realistic. I’m not against using the ones that are suspicious but actually good. Please just put some effort in

And to whoever is getting off on sending multiple letters about seeing a neighbor naked/having sex/watching porn: Go write terrible erotica or tell it to ChatGPT or something. Give us a little break.

He currently mostly likes asmr videos of trucks crushing things and marble runs but he got really into something animated about robots in the doctor’s office waiting room yesterday so I think there’s room for growth

I just realized friends and family never ask me for help with writing stuff (cover letters, emails, applications, texts, etc.) anymore and I think it’s because of ChatGPT! I guess it’s fine but what do I have to offer now? 🥲

it's pretty frustrating how republicans can just spew endless lies about city life with zero repercussions but the moment a dem disparages a pickup truck it's open season

There's a terrible 5th Circuit opinion I'd like you all to see. Lots of people say we should "use conservative arguments against them," but you have to understand, FedSoc judges do not care about their own hypocrisy. They just write their way through it. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

I know social media makes everything an adhd symptom but one I haven’t heard about is never being able to make it to the “link in bio.” I will just have to wonder what the article says because I’m going to get bored on the way there

If an influencer posts my ideal outfit, too bad for me. It takes way too many clicks to find it where they’ve hidden it. And if you want me to watch a video with an ad before it? Sorry, please just summarize it because I’m not sitting through that

I remember in 2020 the idea that we (not just people who lost someone to Covid or had it, but everyone) were all upset and down and struggling because of the pandemic and “racial tension” was kind of a media/ social media consensus. And I’m not really seeing that now? I’ve been wondering why

Could be I’m just not as online and not really in as many conversations about assigning pieces. And I know there’s always been stuff to be upset about! For some reason I just wish I heard more about other people being in despair these days

Personally I’m doing so much worse than I was then. Seeing children being bombed and starved to death, knowing families are being ripped apart and people being tortured in massive numbers, thinking about all the increased suffering from so many different political decisions …

I keep checking for an updated Harper’s letter with all the same signatories but I’m sure they’re just taking their time to make sure it captures how alarmed they are in this moment

I thought I was done with the culture shock of moving from CA to MD but I just asked a bunch of people how they air out their homes in the summer when it’s always hot and humid and the answer was mostly “we wait until fall”!!! I used to open windows every day of my life so this is a lot to digest

I got the idea that pulling an all (or very late) nighter once a week or so would be the secret to having enough time to do everything I need to. Did it and I’ve felt like I’m hungover and in a coma for 2 full days. Follow me for more life hacks
