Slump year reads. Borrowed 66 books from the library, only finished 15. Three of them were bookclub reads. Most were just okay. One I strongly disliked. Two I really liked, not counting the non-fiction. My favorite of 2025 was "Their Eyes Were Watching God." #2025 #readingwrapup #goodreads #books

I debated writing this. It can feel tempting, upon encountering yet another instance of this administration’s racism, to let it be. How many ways can you say the same thing over and over again? And yet we have to write it down, if for nothing else, so those who come after us know we were against it.

theatlantic.comActually, Slavery Was Very BadThe president’s latest criticism of museums is a thinly veiled attempt to erase Black history.

"I'm a Mess" has to be the most begging, yearning song that exists. He told her she could have slit his throat instead of leaving him. He even said the dog cried, and he just stopped working for 3 weeks. Help him!

I read an article that said Bluesky was a bubble. That there was no room for desenting views. The issue isn't that most people on Bluesky have similar viewpoints, it's that the opposing viewpoints are mostly people saying shit like, "peepee poopoo." Adult toddlers who are trolling.

I parked my car to listen to the birds & read. The very first bird I saw, I got excited because it's in my neighborhood & I've never noticed it before. I open the bird app & it coincidentally, it is my bird of the day. I was depressed earlier, mourning my mom & got this tiny nugget of joy. 🐦‍⬛

I'm trading in my child for complaining about me shushing her because I "watched this 20 times already" during my rewatch of Beyoncé's "Homecoming." Like, what was her point? I'm about to restart it to assert my dominance.

Google AI is so terrible. I asked it a simple question about a well-known celebrity, "What color are Zendaya (Coleman's) eyes?" Just trying to recall if they are hazel or brown. It told me that "Her eyes are blue. According to Instagram." Womp womp.

I spent the day at the ICE Detention centers where Rümeysa Öztürk and Mahmoud Khalil are being unjustly detained. They've been taken thousands of miles away from home and denied due process. I’m here to call for their immediate release and make it known that they haven’t been forgotten.

I was unaware that teen boys were giving sperm samples as a part of a routine physical.

RFK Jr: An American teenager today has less testosterone than a 68 year old man. Sperm counts are down 50 percent. WATTERS: Wait -- an American teenager has less testosterone than a 68 year old man? RFK JR: That's right

People who have not played The Last of Us 1 or 2. Or, who have not, at least watched someone else play it, good luck with these next two seasons of the show. The creative directors confirmed that they are not deviating from the game, just stretching it out. 😫 I hope people don't spoil it.
