Y'all, I met Mick Foley last. WWE legend Mick Foley. He's kind, funny, and if he and his wife ever came asking, I'd be their unicorn feral housewife in a hot second. Which I also might have kind of blurted out. During the Q&A. In front of God and everybody. And he still hugged me.

Y'all, I am so confused right now. Over on Threds, I responded to a guy by pointing out how I have to constantly explain how my uncle is yt-passing to yt people, my cousin is read as ambiguously Arab, and baby cousin has green eyes and freckles. His take away? "We get it. You have a Black friend."

@feclad.bsky.social I hope you're able to read this article about Geno showing his ass the other night. Interesting how they ignore the race dynamics and only vaguely The night Geno Auriemma snapped — and Dawn Staley showed the game has changed - The Athletic share.google/61FGbBmlQ1uH...

Something I’m tired of? I’m tired of seeing men head coaching woman’s sports and no women head coaching men’s sports. I’m tired of a woman’s place is the kitchen and men being notable chefs. This shit needs fixing.

What's buried in the article is the $1.5 mil was spread between 1500 stores for a whopping $1000/store. So maybe $50 per employee, but I guarantee managers rewarded themselves first, then regular employees. Five Guys CEO says he gave a $1.5m bonus www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Just once, I would like to act out and show my whole backside out of grief while expecting grace and understanding the way my little brother does. Instead, once again, I am supposed to look out for him. And the cousins. And the Adults. Be helpful. Ask how they are. Make the notification calls.

I'll cry in my room, burritoed in my blankets alone at 3AM instead, after everyone else has been hugged and reassured we'll make it through and prayed with. And I'll wake up and text him, "You good?" Because that's what I get to do. That's my role when I am barely keeping from screaming because

crises. He said it when our father died, that I'd always been the one to tell him, his big sister. I am the one who makes the calls to ask, "Are you okay? Do you need anything? What can I do?" I didn't cry. My voice didn't shake when I spoke to him. To my cousins. It's not allowed to.

So. Just once, I want to be allowed to fall the fuck apart and demand everything stops to put me back together. I want to wild out and hit things and yell and drink until I pass out like he did the last time, and have him and Mom scramble to make sure I make it through.

I was 11 or 12 the first time I had to make the 9-1-1 call because someone was dying two rooms away. My mother didn't call to tell me Mary passed today. She called to ask me to tell my brother. He's 42 years old, not a damn child. But my job. My damn job has always been to tell him about the

Can someone please explain the point of the No Kings rallies to me? What exactly is the demand being made? Gathering is all well and good, but it's not a movement unless there's a focused, actionable gain being sought and pursued, with contemporaneous, concordant action beyond the event.

Sweeps exacerbate homelessness — they can be traumatic, dangerous, and leave people without belongings and vital records. Unhoused people need housing and services, not sweeps.

I come from and have chosen a family of artists. This is some of the most egregious cultural bullshit yet from this WH. Well, since the takeover of the Kennedy Center, anyway. Smithsonian artists and scholars respond to White House list of objectionable art : NPR share.google/ViYwlzBdkNHR...

I have ZERO sympathy for lonely straight white dudes. I grew up as a Black, queer, bipolar, Wiccan drama nerd, at predominantly white schools and then in predominantly white workplaces, in a Red State. if there was a way NOT to fit in, I was it, just by being myself. I wasn't making ACTIVE choices

No one gave a shit if a gay man was lonely navigating a homophobic society. No one gave a shit if a woman was lonely in an abusive marriage. No one ever gave a shit if the Black kid in a white school was lonely. But we all need to care about straight white men being lonely. Miss me with this bs.

People living under fascism didn’t survive by giving up joy—they protected it. They held onto the things fascism tried to erase: art, friendship, jokes, rituals, language, memory. Not as escapism but as resistance. As proof they were still human. Joy isn’t frivolous under fascism. It’s strategic.
