in 2003 my mother staged a photoshoot with me in the front lawn on our cul de sac so she could take pics of the aftermath of a domestic kerfuffle that ended with a wife throwing her husband's things out on their lawn (and later burning them)

@missjenny thankful for people like you and agree w the sentiment! tbh this hasnt been a platform that ive used as much since the switch to X, and I think my talents/efforts/voice are better (and have already been better) used elsewhere❣️

@stroznuts If all of us leave, then it truly will be just an echo chamber. I'm staying because a) I think it's important to know what people who I don't agree with are saying and b) to make sure there are divergent voices in the timeline.

jk one last thing - everyone pls go read a fucking book

i really loved this app. and i deeply loved working at Twitter (not X, never X g bless). but nothing gold can stay!!! so i think im outta here pals and, as always, get fucked elon 🖤

if there’s one thing today is making me realize, it’s that i am so confident in my beliefs. i LOVE the empathy i have for others. i love that i care more about basic human rights than the cost of groceries. i love that i voted to move forward instead of voting to stay divided.

I think then next four years are going to be really bad for vulnerable individuals and that makes me deeply sad. We have a significant empathy problem in this country. While I am glad I was raised to think about others, I’m blown away by how unimportant that is to so many people

Helpful tip: One thing you might want to do before Jan. 20th is update all your vaccinations.

And fuck that little hippo too

if you are a manager it is your responsibility to give your reports grace today. it is your responsibility to make them feel heard and seen. it is your responsibility to lead with empathy. it is your responsibility to be a human first. always.

libbed out so hard i thought american people had empathy and common sense

No matter what happens, it saddens me deeply that rape, felonies, trying to overthrow our democracy, misogyny, racism and transphobia are somehow not deal breaks for 10’s of millions of Americans.

we hate women so much it's honestly impressive. it is a consistent, unchangeable force, as constant as the sun. no joke here. can I have lithium please :)

I just can't believe I'm spending my thirties making sure my friends don't die in childbirth.

“Yeah bro I’m just worried about Kamala’s tax plan”

Godspeed to you if you're going to a party (?) to watch tonight, but I had a party in 2016 to watch the results, and the vibe shift that happened was so sudden and horrific that I'll quite simply never do that again in my life.

until the day I die I will never understand why he was even still allowed to run after this

I do not know how to explain to some of you how boring, practical, and unthreatening it is to share your location when you fully trust your partner
