The sign of a good relationship is a sore, slightly bruised pubic bone. (Heh, heh… bone…)

I feel bad for the Clown Community. Talk about a marginalized group. When you do an emoji search for “funny,” the clown does not appear in the results.

There is no love stronger than the love a young son has for his father when the boy wants to stay up late.

Just because life’s happenings don’t fit into your presumed narrative, doesn’t mean you should villainize people. Life doesn’t care about your narrative. Heed the advice a therapist once told me: “Stop scripting the future. You cannot control everyone or everything, only yourself.”

When that India-Pakistan war began, Americans were pretty quiet. No flags, no protests like we had with the Ukraine-Russia war. Why? It can’t be for a lack of Americans being affected by it. There are ~680,000 Pakistani-Americans and ~4.8 million Indian-Americans living in the United States. A greater chunk of the population than the ~1 million Ukranian-Americans living here. So, why no fuss? The only explanation is American Racism. Americans don’t like Indians or Pakistanis. Simple as that.

Acknowledging when you fuck up is as important as acknowledging when someone else fucks up. Difference is, you should be harder on yourself than you are on them.

Between the Blue Origin Failure of Feminism and JD Vance killing Pope Francis, I have not loved the internet this much since 1997 when I learned I could use it to find photos of a topless Cameron Diaz.

I had a boy dog who peed like a girl dog. I now have a girl dog who pees like a boy dog. Gender is fluid. Just like pee.

A Montessori education is child-led and parents shamed. And judging by the classroom toys and décor, it’s an education opposed to color and joy.

There’s no S in “Daylight Saving.” But there is one in “You’re all idiots.” Why is this so hard for people?

Is it misogyny that I get nervous speaking to women who are taller than me? Because I feel the same way when that person—of any sex or gender—is younger than me. So, am I an ageist-misogynist? Or am I just self-conscious about my very dull, very average height?

We’ve abandoned Freud. Nothing is nurture, it’s strict nature. Who we are is no longer defined by our experiences or our relationships with our parents or friends, but by our neurodiverse ailments. It’s no longer survival of the fittest, it’s survival of who has the most diagnoses. And with all that, so goes accountability out the window.
