This weekend, my mom said that she was embarrassed that Vivek was from a Keralan family and tbh that is a pretty big step.

Just got of You Can See Everything and I cannot believe I have to go to work tomorrow and think about other things.

Had not left the apartment in about a week because of covid. Finally left quarantine today. Huge mistake.

University of Texas (my law school): not gonna make the football coach apologize for being rude to Holly Rowe because we don't respect women. Cornell (my undergrad): hold my beer. I was embarrassed to be an alum when Cornell suspended the Gaza protestors. Now I am gutted.

Those who can, do. Those who can't, AI.

I have gotten like 3 push polls for Sara Hernandez for State Senate in district 26. Wild stuff.

I swear that every time I see Stephen Miller he looks more and more like Vladimir Putin.

Is it kosher to eat oatmeal made with oat milk?

James Carville is the Democrat version of Republicans who march with the Confederate flag while saying "Lincoln was a Republican".

Metro cops just kicked a guy off the bus for "riding it all day". It's 9 am. Also I think you should be allowed to ride the bus all day.

Reading a book about librarians before going to an after hours event at the library. I know who I am.

Maybe sometimes it's ok to just give a guy a fish. You know, like Jesus did.

A story from one of our members: In February 2025, I met an unhoused neighbor across from my house for the first time. I visited her and her partner during lunch breaks and evening walks, sometimes with water and food and other times just a big hug.

Of all the slang to make a comeback, I honestly didn't predict I'd be seeing "noice" everywhere!

Given that the agents who've shot people thus far are longtime employees, I think we need to talk a little less about incompetent bozos joining up, and a lot more about how and why working for ICE/CBP is radicalizing incompetent bozos into murderous stormtroopers.

The ICE officers who killed Renee Good and Alex Pretti have been there for over 7 years. These aren't the undertrained, reformable recent hires Democrats are trying to sell you. This is their best case scenario. Abolish ICE.

Marina Mabrey is Crashing In

As we grieve for Alex Pretti and Renee Good in MN, please do not forget Victor Manuel Diaz, who died in ICE custody after being taken from here. And all others who have died in their custody.

Join us for outreach! We always go over our guidelines, and if you’re new, we’ll make sure you’re in a group with experienced volunteers - all you need to do is show up! We meet in the Immanuel Presbyterian parking lot at 12pm (you can park in the lot!) See you there!

Political appointees should not be dictating the scientific conclusions of federal science agencies. This is wildly inappropriate of Secretary Kennedy and devastatingly dangerous for public trust in the CDC as a scientific authority. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/21/u...

My husband passed the bar exam! And while I'm not surprised, he did it under some impossibly difficult circumstances. In a year of a lot of darkness, I am glad for a small good thing.

Planters and landscaping continue to be installed under the guise of "civic beautification"... but the ugliness gives the game away. Their true purpose is the private co-opting of public land, as well as the displacement and erasure of our most vulnerable community members.

I'd like a stronger word for coward to describe Trump without trappings of misogyny. Feckless fuckface isn't quite doing what I need.

A week with my nieces and I'm realizing why you actually shouldn't introduce children to your beloved pop culture. Not much survives 20 listens in a row punctuated with things like "that's so preppy" or "I got you chat".

Republicans and centrist Dems really are taking "ask not what your country can do for you" very seriously.

I think my brand of irrelgiosity is something like "Yes, religion is the opiate of the masses, but I try not to judge anyone's drug use."

terminator and Battlestar had me thinking humanity's downfall to AI would have been way different.

Necessity is mother

I know south Asian men have been joking that Mamdani winning is just going to mean their parents will have higher expectations for them but just respond with "mom, you're not exactly Mira Nair."

"I can't believe restaurants would rather close than pay ballooning, unaffordable rent." -some landlord, probably

Feeling very grumpy with working my second Sunday in a row. I love outreach and wouldn't give it up for anything, but it eats up a good portion of my Saturdays. Sundays are my one day to do laundry, grocery shop, and clean, let alone relax. And it has taken a lot more from me than I realized.

If we're "bringing back" a day to celebrate a genocidal r*pe enabling slave trader, I'm 'celebrating' by bastardizing every Italian dish I can. Peas in the carbonara, corn risotto in the instant pot, breaking my spaghetti before boiling, pineapple on pizza. Suggestions welcome.

Ugh. Just placed an LAHop request for a person who lives on the border and travels between two SPAs. She is extremely responsive by phone and email. The service provider refuses to assign anyone unless they have a single fixed location.

I don't want my real job doing fake things, I want a fake job doing real things.

Yeah things are worse.
