I'm candidly a bit of a mess right now. One of my besties is critically ill, with a long battle ahead. The US spent a week on the brink of war. The President is insane.

Having to check myself on rescue fantasies of the ideal feminist man whisking me & kids off "somewhere safe."
(internalized patriarchy never really dies, you know, it just waits 'til you're exhausted and scared to rear its head again sigh)
Just remembered that in a fit of pique last night I ordered the last four @Writer_DG #Outlander books from Amazon *from my bed*. They are arriving at my door within the hour.

Combine that with the @Outlander_STARZ return on 2/16, and I might manage to keep at it. 😂

OK, I know it's probably a POA how irked I am by the framing of this story, as now picked up by the NYT.

But seriously: stop praising this male tortoise.

The population went from 15 to 2000.

Where are the stories on the female tortoises who did the real damn work?
And PS. on the Galapagos, the conservationists are describing this in simple terms related to saving a species.

It's the US press who is writing this story like Diego the tortoise has an infallible dick and deserves praise for all time for simply engaging in biology.

STOP IT.
It's another instance where men who want to believe in their own virility as salvation of a species project that narrative onto something else.

Patriarchy isn't saving the planet. It's destroying it.

Write a story on what the females of the species are doing. Just once, try it.

The framing of this article, not to put too fine a point on it, is toxic masculinity.

It’s great the Galapagos tortoises got saved.

The man who wrote this article (and you, @CNN, for farming this bullshit framing to my phone) should be ashamed.

PS. Turtles can’t be playboys, just like women can’t be sluts.
(Waiting for the tweet that tells me I don’t have a sense of humor.)

Yoongi's out for blood when his girlfriend breaks up with him over her favorite singer, Park Jimin. Yoongi decides to find Jimin and tell him off-

But then he meets actually meets Jimin and damn- he's fine... and he's funny too... and he's like, really fucking cute so now what?

Yoongi's dressed his absolute best, carrying a bouquet of lilies which are her favorite. His heart thuds hard in his chest.

This is the day. He's going to ask Minha to move in with him. He's been practicing all morning, how they have the same goals, his vision of the future.

President Trump rally in Louisiana thread.

@realDonaldTrump needs help from all the patriots all across Louisiana to send a message to the corrupt Democrats in DC this Saturday by going out and voting for the new Republican governor.

America is respected again all across the world at the highest levels.
The Democrats are trying to tear our country apart.

Here we go. After over a month of Senate chamber disruptions that culiminated in their rolling out multiple fake accusations that Kavanaugh was a sexual predator, the Left is BACK TO LECTURING *US* ABOUT BEING CIVIL ON OUR POLITICAL DISCOURSE while they talk about stalking us.
"Don't you DARE spike that Kavnaugh football while we make our plans to find out where you live, what restaurants you go to, where your kids go to school, wherer you work so we can come after you, you hear me?

DON'T YOU SPIKE THAT -!!!"

Me, right now:
FUCK YOU.

1} "Jeff, what will trumps ultimate undoing be, in your opinion?"

and

"Which hill will Donald die on?"

Good questions. My answer isn't pretty at all, but it's the truth.

#THREAD - a stream of unconsciousness...
2} Are you ready?

He won't.

Trump is NOT going down.
3} It's April 15th - Do you know where your tax money is?

In the pocket of a Nazi @POTUS and his disgusting family of swine.

I can't with this guy...but interestingly, he's also revealing a lot with each one of these interviews.

Why not just go speak to the Grand Jury? Clearly, it's not about avoiding spending more time talking about the investigation and your experience...

He can't help himself..
#NOW: SAM NUNBERG says he was told he wasn't a target or a subject of the investigation and he was OFFERED IMMUNITY by the Special Counsel's team.

He also said THEY WANT HIM TO TESTIFY...TO CATCH ROGER STONE ON PERJURY...

ADMITTING THAT ROGER MAY HAVE LIED TO PROSECUTORS.
#LOL: Save this one...

SAM NUNBERG: "I'M NOT GOING TO JAIL, COME ON."
