Write Club starts today. I'm doing a daily writing prompt with my subscribers. Go for at least 5 minutes. If you go longer, good for you. Subscribers can share what they want in the comments or they can keep it to themselves. The point is to write. That is all. Happy New Year!
From the responses to this tweet I've learned that the event on the South Lawn is a mostly legal political convention that I'm probably funding somehow.

The gaslighting that's going on is next level. Don't you dare shame people for wondering why last week protesting was killing grandma and today it's acceptable. This is an absolutely valid question. Kids lost months of schooling. Businesses were destroyed. Hospitals went under.
Mental health suffered. People lost their jobs and their homes. People died alone in hospitals or weren't allowed to be buried. And everyone was told it was because of "science." And good people did the right thing and now science doesn't fucking matter? Get the fuck out of here.

I'm not GOP. I'm someone who can clearly see that when the DNC wanted to weaponize #MeToo and #BelieveAllWomen they did and the minute the allegations are about their guy, suddenly that woman is a liar and we need to respect due process. It's the definition of a double standard.
As someone who's been sexually assaulted, I'm tired of feeling like a pawn in a game. We're victims when it's convenient. We're liars when it doesn't fit the narrative. The same people who will call out their political opponent will defend the exact same behavior in their guy.

I really appreciate the voices of reason, the writers who have been balancing the many, many factors playing out right now. It's easy to get on a podium and bang a drum that's meant to divide people. There's no money in nuance--but we need it now more than ever before.
We are all in this together, not just as Americans, but as humans. Every country is experiencing this and although it's easier to gravitate to a "side" because it might feel safe, the truth is, the majority of us are in fear about our health, our loved ones & our livelihoods.
Call/email your reps without delay and ask them to vote NO on the federal version of #AB5. If you’re an independent contractor or hire independent contractors this is the federal version of the hell we aredealing with in California. Oppose #PROAct (H.R.2474) CONTACT YOUR REPS!

Starting to hear from the douchy blue checks in the liberal media bubble regarding that Times piece and here is my statement:
I don’t give a shit what a bunch of arrogant Rich Kids in Media™️ who don’t know me, think about me. I’m not an academic or an elite. I’m a waitress that wanted to be a writer and a comedian and stumbled into this shit show because I stopped self-censoring.

People saying cancel culture isn’t a thing don’t know anyone who has been canceled.
I know many of “the canceled.” They’ve lost jobs. Been rendered unemployable because google never forgets. They’ve dealt with depression and suicidal thoughts. Many times the court of public opinion handed out a verdict before they even had a chance to defend themselves.

People in my mentions saying Dave Chappelle shouldn't be shaming victims and how damaging it is to sexual assault survivors--I was raped and I laughed.
We all process pain differently. Laughing in the face of it has saved me. You don't get to decide what I can or can't handle.
In fact, being "triggered" is what has helped me heal. Every time it came up--I had to face some part of it I wasn't looking at, or I had to develop a new coping mechanism, or process a feeling I had buried. Putting me in bubblewrap would have kept me stuck forever in victimhood.

This couple is bickering at the terminal and it’s awkward af.
He’s shaming her for getting the kids hot chocolates. Now she’s using me as an excuse for why she won’t sit next to him. There’s plenty of room. She hates him.

I’ve had multiple people reach out to me today & share their length of sobriety—quitting anything is hard. Getting through holidays and deaths and hearbreak is even harder. To those of you who are still going, pat yourself on the back. To those of you who slipped, keep trying. ❤️
You all inspire me so much. Thank you.
