I haven't tweeted in *a year* but **we do not have to resign ourselves to this future.** We can, indeed, have an open convention. It seems wild but it is absolutely not, and anyone who doesn't want a Trump presidency should get on board: nytimes.com/2024/02/16/opi…

So many of the professional women I know with even a smidge of financial/career leeway are taking a professional pause for the next few months

That, ultimately, is why people in the West are annoyed (and also, I should note, annoyed that they're annoyed). It sucks, it all sucks. But very few workplaces thought to manage w/that understanding until it hit their HQs in New York.

Anyway this coming summer when this reality lasts for *weeks to months* in the West remember how you feel, remember how hard it is to work, remember the crankiness, and extend some grace

@DearSplenda Is the solution to change bodies or to change fatphobia, though? She really, really thinks that if we could change all bodies it'd be better

Like truly a greatest hits of fatphobia. Her greatest fear is that taking this drug will make it so people don't learn habits of self-discipline!! She is just casually okay with the diarrhea!!!

I know that it's hard to understand things when you haven't experienced them personally and yes it's truly shitty but: the West has been dealing with this, it's been horrible, we all need to take it seriously

The air quality in New York City is horrifying. Quebec is *400 miles* away but you can smell burning wood in every corner of New York as if it's right here in town. The sky is ominous and post-apocalyptic dark yellow-green. It's so intense that it stings your eyes.
