The way I screamed lol
If you know, then you know. #TressieSeason lol
I desperately need a cowboy to take me away from all of this to a fake suburban ranch outside Nashville where I drink tea and write on my lunch break.
I am so ready.

I’m have said this before but I was a different person then. It’s worth repeating my belief that you cannot game theory every political choice. “You” being a voter or a small community. It doesn’t matter if this is what Sinema wants. That’s unknowable. And it’s not a poker game.
I don’t know if this is the conversation that Sen Sinema wants us to have. And I suspect that you don’t know that either. I know that it is a conversation that should be had, based on the available facts in front of me. That’s all any of us can do.

There is a lot here. First, there is the Christian-washing of basic gentrification.

Look at this lingo. It’s thicker than an instagram capitalism hustle:
Redemptive enterprise. Wut.

(thank you!) And also, this is HORRIBLE. Look at that user flow.
I long ago decided that people who program a lot of our most ingrained technologies do not themselves have a lot of friends and demands. There is no way you would design this if your phone was buzzing every 10 seconds.
In a moment of oversharing: I dated a guy once who was obsessed with being busy. The only problem is that he...was not busy. Like ever. It was a constant tension point between us because I am VERY busy and very annoyed by it. He could not fathom my life & I couldn't fathom his.

Making them for myself. Practice run loading.
A truly pleasant way to spend an afternoon, however they turn out.
My eyeball measuring is a little wonky but then so are my eyes 🤷🏾‍♀️

Actual tears
This is how I do my babies lol One of them won’t even play make believe with me anymore. She is not into realism.
One time, my niece screamed at me, “I AM ONLY FOUR” and I lost the entirety of my ish.

“Shot himself in the face”???
Is that the threshold now? I have to stay with you after you shoot yourself on the face??? Because I am gonna be real, that feels like an exit point.
Until this moment I would have felt safe saying, “yes, my last relationship ended after he shot himself in the in the face.” I would have thought everyone hearing that would nod in empathy.
