I have to confess, I gave up on the news and only know peripherally what is going on. I feel guilty for being ignorant but at the same time I think my hopelessness turned into apathy because unless there is an election AND the parties decide to cooperate even a tiny bit it’s futile in the long run. I would be shocked…

Surprisingly, the bulk of Cambridge is less-hipstery now. It’s more “fake” hipster, e.g. Urban Outfitters. The more legit hipsters are in the next town over in Davis Square. I lived there for a few years (not a hipster). My favorite person in the neighborhood was a guy who unicycled everywhere. Although, now you could…

per pound?!!! will it bring back my youth when I didn’t have to worry about my 401(k) contributions and why every man is a creep?!

God I’m glad I gave up TV news. I’ve mostly tuned out whatever is happening in the government now because my reservoir of hope is depleted. Watching politicians fight like cats and dogs and knowing that any sort of reconciliation isn’t going to happen on either side is depressing. American democracy had a nice run.…

I like this game! I have wanted this stupid $8,000+ horse lamp for many years. And a life-size velociraptor to put in my yard (I settled on $20 dinosaur earrings from Etsy instead)

Girl knows how to make money though (opposite of our current “President”). They can sell Kylie lip kits and have all the profits go to the government. We’ll be debt free in no time.

I will continue to eat the dead flesh of the meat I buy from my local CSA. I follow their Instagram account and you can see how well the animals are treated (although I’d be lying if I didn’t feel a twinge of guilt when confronted with the food I will eat but I think the transparency is important - so if this makes…

A part of me thinks Kanye deliberately says things that he knows will provoke people and we fall for it hook line and sinker every time. You know exactly what you are getting into when you interview him and I, personally, find it entertaining af because I take most of what he says with a grain of salt.

I shit you not I found an OC DVD at an antiques store. They also had CDs (Hanson anyone?) and probably every Disney VHS movie that I had as a child. I really wanted a preserved rat in a jar but my husband will only indulge my fascination with gross things so far.

I do not remember what “bored” feels like. I think only rich people can afford to be bored. I would kill to hole up somewhere beautiful and secluded with a good book and a comfy throw. I bet you can see stars there.

Why not use Buchenwald or Dachau? These camps are already built.

I’m a pessimist now. I expect Roe be overturned in this administration. I grieve for Justice Ginsburg, who may die knowing that her tireless work for women’s rights was in vain. The patriarchy always wins in the end. 

ALEXANDRIA GO GET ‘EM GIRL

Struggling with bipolar disorder makes me self-absorbed to the point of feeling deep guilt about it sometimes. On the other hand, if I am not vigilant about my body and state of mind I can start slipping to the point of no return, where I am just along for the ride (mania can feel damn good until you get too high,…

This reminds me of the “Gift of Fear,” which shows how horrible crimes are committed against women who KNEW that something wasn’t right but they didn’t do anything at the time because they didn’t want to be “rude.” Fuck that shit (also read this book - it could save your life). I think this is where America is right…

Personally, BK isn’t for me, but surely there are people out there who would like a lifetime of free Whoppers? Isn’t Shakira eligible? Or maybe an “I was assaulted by X and all I got was this Whopper” t-shirt?

I’ve been working in immigration law for about 8 years now and I take the bar exam next month. If all goes smoothly and I get my license I am going to use some vacation time to stand next to the fucking border and wait for people who need representation for asylum cases.

I think that it can be better for society overall if some people die (I’m not advocating murder, but if they fall off a cliff I won’t be shedding any tears). I don’t know much about his life but, sometimes, people just come out wrong or don’t add any value to society (exponentially, stupendously worse but Ted Bundy…

I seriously hope Kim is mistaken that the state of CA would let someone with only a high school education work for an attorney for three years and then take the bar exam, especially since CA has arguably the most difficult bar exam in the country. I graduated law school last month and almost every minute of my free…

I don’t even know how people survive with 2 kids. That would set me back about $50k a year for daycare and then there’s the added expense of a part-time nanny until the kids are old enough to be home by themselves because my husband and I both work (and I refuse to get “mommy” hours). Kids need their own laptop…
