Stars and planets, THIS. This FOREVER. And also the missing art of folks who were passed over and shut out because such men didn't want to fuck them in the first place and therefore just utterly ignored them

I want a show where all the really-good-but-not-the-right-match potential mates from Bridgerton live happily ever after. (The prince! Edwina! Lord Debling and his great awks!)

I am not immunocompromised. I don't need to be immunocompromised to know that mask bans are cruel and do not make me safer. I don't need to be to care about immunocompromised people continuing to have access to public life.

This headline is dishonest. After being punched in the face by a cop for trying to comfort her father as their family's house burned down, she was also charged with a felony.

NB: narcissists/systematic abusers usually have a consistent internal narrative: they are oppressed & misunderstood & they are a good person. So they do good things for people sometimes & they charm, to buff up a fragile ego & reinforce this story to themselves & world: they are One of the Good Ones

I was just saying to a friend, someone who was horrified by a prominent person’s wretched behavior (but this individual was fine/good to my friend)—I said, “never forget, these people choose the targets of their generosity & goodwill & appreciation as carefully as they choose their abuse targets.”

Just called my rep AGAIN to tell them to sign onto this. Every D in the House should be a cosponsor. Yes, it won't pass the R-controlled House, but we have to make this an issue.

Please feel free to call your own rep if you feel similarly! You can find them here: www.house.gov/representati...

We lost Michael Zulli today. Beautiful, lyrical, mystical storyteller, he was part of the BW Boom of the 80s with his PUMA BLUES, he drew some gorgeous stuff for SANDMAN, and a startlingly fun book about Alice Cooper. All that’s just for starters. Some people, you think will always be out there.

I rarely drink coffee, so when I do it's super effective; which is to say, I am now both extra productive and super (extra) anxious. Yay?

I think that if Biden wants to continue to run all the delegates from both parties should have to have a dance-off. not to decide anything. just, like, for national morale.

Me: I should do this work thing. My brain: Spiderman can't lift Mjolnir because he's not willing to kill. That puts that viral cartoon about Mr. Rogers (Fred, not Steve) easily being able to lift it in a very different light. Who is Mr. Rogers willing to kill?

Oh look, the "defund the police is a luxury belief" guy platformed by the @nytimes.com Opinion section today is a transphobe eugenicist who quotes Jordan Peterson on IQ and retweets literal phrenologist Claire Lehmann.

NYT is a far right rag, part nine million
