Have the violent uprisings solved anything? Sure, No Kings marches accomplish nothing as well, but at least they are peaceful.

Fuckin’ YIKES! 😳

I would prefer a hybrid, which I had for a short time after RTO. 2 days WFH, 3 days IO. You get time to collaborate and socialize in person, but also have time to get deep focus work done at home. Plus, cutting down on the commute was amazing for my mental health.

Note to self: There are too many a$$holes on this site for me to just post my thoughts and allow anyone to reply…

Musk is a real life evil billionaire villain.

No one is forced to participate in Greek life. I had no interest in it and most of my friends didn’t either and it was fine. Thankfully, my son doesn’t want to associate with douche bags while in college because we taught him well.

LOOK HOW SHE FUCKING ATE THAT OMG

I had to say goodbye to my sweet little girl today. She was mine for 11 of her 15 years and it will never be enough time. Give your pets an extra squeeze tonight. 🐾💔

For the upset about Shane Gillis’ whore outfit joke, please allow Dave Chapelle to clarify

He’s turned off by her desperation. 🤣

Watching the backlash to Shane Gillis’ SNL monologue is kind of hilarious because people are doing the exact same thing that helped make him huge in the first place. Gillis was hired by SNL in 2019 and fired just days later after old podcast clips resurfaced. Instead of disappearing, his career exploded. Netflix specials, TIRES, arena shows, and now he’s gone back and hosted SNL three separate times. So when Gillis goes on SNL and does a very Shane Gillis monologue, jokes about women at the gym, gay dudes, Hitler, and whatever else, what exactly did everyone think they were getting? Now Dan Levy and other celebrities are publicly condemning him, the headlines are multiplying, and suddenly Gillis owns another news cycle. You don’t have to like the guy. You don’t have to like the jokes. But Shane Gillis has built a career partially on people loudly insisting Shane Gillis shouldn’t have a career. And every time people do this, they hand him more attention, more fans, and probably another house. Kudos, morons.

I didn’t really get the problem with gender ideology at first. I’m liberal-minded about most things. ‘Live and let live’ has generally been my motto. I believed in inclusion, kindness and not causing unnecessary offence. I knew some adults chose medical treatments or surgery to resemble the opposite sex. That seemed to me a matter of personal autonomy. Adults can do what they wish with their own bodies. What I hadn’t realised — and I feel slightly embarrassed admitting this — was that I’d misunderstood what was being claimed. I thought “transgender” meant a form of self-expression. A man who liked wearing women’s clothes. Someone changing their name. Gender non-conformity. What I hadn’t grasped was that some activists weren’t just asking for tolerance. They were asserting that declaring yourself the opposite sex made you the opposite sex. Not metaphorically. Literally. And that this wasn’t just cultural. It had legal consequences. It meant men who said they were women were demanding access to women’s sports, prisons, domestic violence shelters and hospital wards. It meant the rewriting of healthcare language — “pregnant people”, “bodies with cervixes” — to avoid saying “women”. It meant children struggling with identity being affirmed onto medical pathways with lifelong implications. And also redefining same-sex attraction. Lesbians called ‘bigoted’ for not wanting relationships with men who identify as women. Gay men accused of prejudice for saying they’re not attracted to female bodies. I’d also overlooked how deeply this had spread into public institutions, schools and workplaces. And how easily disagreement was framed as cruelty. Speaking up felt risky — because others were being publicly humiliated for doing so. None of this is abstract. Because sex is the basis on which safeguarding works. On which data is collected. On which cancer screening programmes run. On which fair sport and single-sex spaces depend. It’s written into law — including the Equality Act — because material differences matter. If sex becomes a ‘feeling’ rather than a biological category, those protections become unstable. And once reality becomes negotiable, everything does. Once I saw it, I couldn’t unsee it. But I needed to be sure. So I read. Books, research papers, policy documents. When I finally spoke publicly, there was backlash from all directions. Many women thanked me, while some feminists criticised me for speaking too late. Others were angry about a past interview I’d done with the parent of a transgender person, accusing me of promoting harm. It takes courage to speak when you know your reputation, friendships or livelihood may be on the line — when you know raising your voice could strain, or even end, relationships you value. Once I understood what was at stake, staying silent was no longer an option. I lost my livelihood simply for saying I didn’t like the phrase “pregnant people”. That alone tells you something is deeply wrong. It shouldn’t be this way. I don’t expect praise for admitting it took me far too long to understand what was happening. Or to say so publicly. I can only be honest about what I believed then and what I understand now. But it does take courage to admit publicly that you got something wrong. All I hope is that by acknowledging I wasn’t paying enough attention, another woman (or man) might feel emboldened to do the same. Because, as many of us know first-hand, there can be professional, social and financial consequences to speaking out. And I won’t pretend I understood something before I did, simply to make myself more acceptable to those who got there sooner. Which is why I will never judge another woman for how long it takes her to find her voice. Because every voice matters. Whenever it is raised.

No. I refuse to be told what I’m allowed to laugh at.

I thought this was hilarious, was I supposed to be offended?

This just seems obvious. One of the great things I’m experiencing on a GLP-1 is that I don’t care about food like I used to. I know I need to eat for fuel and it makes it easier to make better choices about portions and nutritional value.

Another reminder of why I’m so happy I don’t have to date in this day in age…

Look, I’m all about respecting dad bod but 4 is perfection. Way out of my league though. 🤣

My empathy has run dry for people stupid enough to think Donald Trump was going to do anything to make their lives better. It’s not like they didn’t live through his first terrible term as POTUS. If anything, I’m happy they are getting what they actually voted for.

Genius.

Maybe they can get Michael Buffer to announce it.
