My hubs and I decided that for the reat of 2026 we will have
#ClassyTuesday and #TrashyWednesday and we alternate who gets to pick a movie that fits the category each week. 1st up, he chose Classy - THE WOLF MAN (1941). Still debating what I should choose for tomorrow 🤔 suggestions welcome!

No one fucking told me that your forties are just going through reverse puberty. This feels distinctly unfair.

the moderate democratic position on Gaza is that if Israel’s opponents do not comport themselves perfectly, if they don’t dance flawlessly through the rhetorical minefields every day, then it’s dead children forever.

Lisa Demuth has already tried to ban abortion in Minnesota – with no exceptions for rape and incest. We can’t give her the chance to get it done as Governor.

The hype about #Wicker is very amusing but I do feel obligated to remind larger media outlets that the reason he is so hot is because he's an attentive and enthusiastic lover who prioritizes his partners happiness. And is also Alexander Skarsgard reproduced in wicker, in that order.

They say that going through menopause is as hormonally impactful as puberty. I am on the cusp of this experience and suddenly find myself listening to my angsty teen favorites. Cringing along to Stabbing Westward and Staind (first album only) while making dinner for the kids is kind of hilarious.

Definitely not beating the #adhd allegations with my 3 beverages. Just took a sip from each, water, bodyarmor, then coffee of course. Least flavorful to most.

-Smiled
-Kept normal schedules in order not to trigger a fight
-Appeased with kind acts (cooking, cleaning, favors)
-Forced friendly tones and words

I am not a sports fan, but I have to say, the immediacy and intensity of Sumo is so addicting.
Maybe its the ADHD, in that things that go on forever just aren't my thing but I love this.

The inevitable outcome of this kind of BS is that any woman who can compete with a man isn't actually a woman.
These fucking ghouls really love the idea that women are a monolith and that if you aren't a dainty, submissive, weak, conventionally attractive, simpering fool then you are not a woman.

Reading #TheOdyssey before seeing it in theaters this weekend and I have some thoughts, none new observations I'm sure. I'm about halfway through.
1. Odysseus is the ultimate wife guy
2. Every dude but Poseidon wants Odysseus to marry his daughter
3. Athena is the real GOAT in all of this

I'm putting this out there because I feel like I need to. Existence really fucking sucks sometimes. It is painful, demanding, and so often a double edged sword.
I mean you gotta do it because what else is there. But fuck.

Caelan continues to bring the fire. Love it. Watch it. Support them, because they are both very cool and hot AF.
Everywhere Republicans gather, Grindr crashes. Or at least, that's what people have told me about 500 times since my video discussing if homophobia is always rooted in secretly being gay.
But is it true? Do republicans constantly crash Grindr whenever they meet?

Mutiny on the Bounty level bullshit.
Pete Hegseth toured a naval vessel, got upset that sailors had beard exemptions, and launched a Pentagon-wide crackdown. Iran hostilities just resumed with no end in sight. The Secretary of War's top priority is facial hair on Black men with a documented skin condition.
Pete Hegseth sends heads rolling after noticing his no-beard policy is going unenforced
Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth noticed too many people were getting exemptions from his strict "no beards" crackdown while visiting a naval ship last month, CNN reported — and heads rolled over it....

Off to #TwinCities #Pride with my youngest and my husband and I decided to take an Uber rather than deal with parking. Our very nice driver is listening to an audio book on Alexander The Great. Low key queer representation FTW? 🤣
Had to drop an @dancarlin.bsky.social rec to him of course.

Using contraception during marriage is STILL how people have consequence free sex! Being married doesn't make a difference.
Contraception is what makes it possible for those who can carry a child to control their own lives. That makes people like this uncomfortable. The NYT continues to be awful.

Wow. And no. “I am not completely opposed to contraception. I think, though, that women in particular should behave as if contraception doesn’t exist… Maybe that’s my concrete proposal: that you should use contraception within marriage rather than as a means of seeming to have consequence-free sex.”
