Kait W

@emilynussbaum If she hadn't posted the texts, she'd be accused of fabricating a story for attention, and I think you know that.

It’s gross to post your ex’s private texts unless you have a really solid reason to do so—& this holds true even if your ex was a thin-skinned, manipulative weasel. That used to be a given, but it clearly isn’t anymore

Just to be clear about something - what one human wears has nothing to do with someone else’s “boundaries.”

@LouisPeitzman Also just want to say this work is hard and good for you for facing it.

@kaitstrong Oh, I'm not going to bail. I fly when I need to, I just hate it. But probably gonna do domestic anyway!

Need to book a flight for August in the next few days as part of my fear of flying treatment. Can't really take time off work, so looking for somewhere close enough that it makes sense for a weekend trip. Help me decide please. (If you vote "somewhere else," let me know where!)

@LouisPeitzman Forgot Toronto was also an option, lol. I say keep it domestic for sure! It's not so much about the location as it is about getting comfortable with the discomfort and not adding too many stressful variables at once.

@LouisPeitzman Is this your first exposure flight or the next in a series of exposure flights? If it's the first one, don't do Montreal, that's more time spent at the airport talking yourself into bailing.

@itismitchell Please send invite codes, we're all so desperate! I love seeing your pics of the physical media that you view!

@ezwrites Are they still doing invite codes only over there? I feel like I've been on the wait list forever, I'm just a regular person desperate for a lifeboat.

FYI!!!

@EveryOscarEver I'm pretty sure that's not Ralph Bellamy? Looks like David Bruce.

Ralph Bellamy and Deanna Durbin behind the scenes on the set of "Lady on a Train." The wonderful Bellamy, Oscar nominated for his supporting performance in "The Awful Truth" and the recipient of an honorary Oscar 49 years later, was born on this date in 1904 in Chicago.

one last bid to get some followers back who remain with me in this hellpit. I'm still here! hello! rt for awareness! sorry to do this, my old account @swordsjew is imprisoned and i write a newsletter for a living!

@DoubleThreatPod Ohhhhhh my god.

TOMORROW

@EmmaTolkin Agreed!

Where are the votes for Austria???

I haven’t slept in two days (bc Zelda) and I just put on #Eurovision2023 and I feel like I’m fuckin hallucinating (complimentary)

Weird how whenever someone with mental issues is murdered in public any bad things they did in the past are brought up as if the person who killed them has some kind of psycho pass cymatic scan device that can show when someone is a criminal

Media outlets make choices every day on how they cover people in the criminal justice system. This story, by the numbers: -95 paragraphs(!) -0 uses of the term convict, felon, offender -1 photo of the family at the beach -1 subheader with "devoted mother" nytimes.com/2023/05/07/bus…

Mental illness is not crying and yelling after you haven't eaten or drank nothing in days and can't remember the last time you slept safely in a bed. That is a normal human reaction to being forced to suffer in a society that wants you dead.

@Imani_Barbarin I’m just dumbfounded by the part I circled here…if we do the math based on 1 week’s data for deaths we KNOW ABOUT, that’s 174,720 every year, when we’ve already lost 765,222,932 people as of April 6. But that’s just fine??????

This partly why they felt no need to make counter offers. They want to see how long writers can last w/o working or making money. They don’t care if writers lose their homes, cars or savings as long as they have content on-hand… which is sick AF and should be talked about more.

We've been trying to warn you. texastribune.org/2023/05/04/tex…

This “day rate” is exactly what’s happened to @sagaftra actors and it is not a living wage. I repeat: one cannot live on a day rate. One cannot qualify for health insurance in a day rate. #WGAstrong

If you menstruate and get really, suicidally depressed for 1–2 weeks out of a month, check with your doctor about PMDD.
