The thing about changing my first and then my last name is that I got kind of into it, and now I'm jonesing to change it again, despite doing the rigorous work of completely reestablishing a professional identity under this name. And yet...................... Claire St. Cloud?????
Doing things the easy way? When I can have a new name? Pshhh...
Anyway. My legal name change went through in March and now I'm doing a rebrand with a different last name on all my socials. Because... Reasons.
So if you followed me as PopeSimonX, it's still me. I just... Got creative.

This whole concept in LOTR is one of my favourite parts of the whole book. “Evil fucks up because evil people fundamentally cannot imagine that others are not motivated by the same things as them” is another theme that feels relevant right now

I guess I'm not part of my family. I didn't get an official invite at Thanksgiving and I just found out that my dad didn't include me in the invite to Christmas. I'm so fucking tired.

The number one reason I feel hope right now is Republicans are starting to push back. Trump has been in office less than a year and people on the right are starting to say "well, actually, this is terrible."
Don't get me wrong. It's not enough yet, but it does give me hope.

At the store looking at holiday decorations, Z complained about how much wreaths are and I pointed out that's tariff pricing (wreaths have cost more than they are worth for a while, imo, but I've looked for them enough times in my life that I know they are priced higher this year).
While I never believed Trump's promise that he was in any way going to help the economy for average Americans, I'm still blindsided by how much extra I'm having to pay for things lately. I swear I have a panic attack every time we buy groceries.
According to a new analysis by Democrats on the Joint Economic Committee, the average American family has paid more than $700 in higher costs per month since Trump took office.
Remember when Trump said he would end inflation on "day one"?

How do you define "deliberately made themselves destitute"?
When I was near homeless and trying to get on my feet, my sister tried to stop my family from helping. Her logic mostly came down to the belief that if I hadn't left my husband, I would be fine, so this was all my fault. 1/

Is KFC still good in other countries?
My expectations of KFC at this point are so low that when I get it, I'm always sure that it can't be as bad as I remember. It's always somehow worse.
Today's edition: wings. It's so over cooked, there is no finger licking. How do you fuck up *wings*???

I've been a massage therapist for 15 years. 5 years ago I got a degree in biomedical engineering. Last night I taught medical terminology to a bunch of students at the massage school. No matter how much I learn about the human body, I'm always amazed at the weird shit it does. Bodies are wild.

This. This. This. I want *every* pedophile rounded up. I don't give two shits about their political background or what they've voted for or who they are. If you're a pedophile, fuck all the way off to jail.
100% said this and feel free to quote me on it. Also @jackiekashian.bsky.social is a fantastic comedian and you should see her when she comes to your town.

Whose going to tell them Corgis looking like that is also because of genetic abnormalities and likely inbreeding?
It's legit why mutts tend to be healthier. They're less likely to get two recessive genes leading to "abnormalities".
Anyway, diversity is great!

When the median homebuyer is nearing retirement, you don’t have a housing market. You have a crisis.
The median age of all U.S. homebuyers is now 59 years old.
Just 15 years ago, it was 39 years old.

The last time I saw my sister (in 2020), she was defending Trump and I brought this up. She tried brushing it aside by saying none of it had been proven.
I wonder what she's thinking today. (Not enough to find out, but I sure hope she is doing some deep reflection.)
Anyway, trust victims.

Bob Ross was just ASMR.
If you don't believe me, put on a Bob Ross video and look at anything else while it's playing. Just listen.
The fact he also made phenomenal paintings while he did it and educated people at the same time is just amazing.

Josh Johnson's rip of her over this was *chef's kiss*.
Megyn Kelly said she thinks “there’s a difference between a 5 year old and a 15 year old” when it comes to sexual abuse. Megyn Kelly has a 14 year old daughter. Megyn Kelly is going to Hell.
