It buzzes all the time lately, like a low-pitched electric buzz in the halogen strip.

If I turn it off then back on the buzz goes away for a while but it always comes back.

I really want Elon to royally frickup Social Security, Medicaid, Medicaid, and piss off all old voters to go after the GOP.

I hope his zoomer twinks royally frickup and crash websites, block payments for months.

i'm at my big firm corporate girlboss job and one of my coworkers said something about grad school - i missed a deadline last month, guess that's a sore spot for me - and i just started crying. tried to hold it in but all i managed were tears silently sliding down my face. had to slip out after a minute when it didn't stop.

literally been slinking around the office and hiding in the bathroom for an hour trying to stop crying. once, i thought i was in the clear, but when i put my hand on the doorknob to the meeting room it started up again.

i'm so annoyed because i'm a totally competent person otherwise. i'm not even really ""emotional"", like i stay pretty girlboss professional eloquent deadpan all the time - which makes it even worse when i turn into a blubbery red-eyed swollen-faced mess.

all my life i've been someone who cries at the drop of a hat - in elementary school, during ballet class, at parties, etc etc. one of my exes would get so mad at me when i cried and accuse me of doing it to derail whatever stupid fight we were having and make him feel bad. i kept swearing i wasn't doing it on purpose and i tried my best not to cry but he never believed me. i do try!! i hate crying. it's embarrassing and it's a waste of my time. i'm missing an important meeting right now :( i have to go collect my laptop that's been sitting there abandoned. what do i even say? nothing? say my tummy was upset?

Good lord this woman is a MESS. Someone casually mentioned grad school and it caused her to cry for the rest of the fricking day.

I'm too cozy but have to poop.

Reading reddit just makes me more racist

"During that whole "white terrorism in gaming" thing where people honestly believed a 13 old girl was gang r*ped in a Games Workshop while all the g*mers chanted "Old enough to bleed, old enough to breed" I created an account there and made a few rather innocuous posts.

I was banned within like 3 hours with the ban reason being "Eh, probably a troll account.""

Did anyone here about this madness? It sounds like an amazing moral panic.

Glory to NK!

I just sent the following email to MSNBC:

Last night, Rachel Maddow lied brazenly about the history of the gay rights movement, specifically regarding the Stonewall Riots. In her report, she stated the following:
