I cannot wait to cast my ballot for Pete Buttigieg someday.
For now, watching him shred republicans, outsmart politically incorrect dems, and leave everyone smiling is my main drug of choice.
@PeteButtigieg
@RealTimers
I was kinda uncomfortable about the White Women for Kamala title but as I hear my lady sistren talk, I realize white women have a critical role to play in saving democracy while coming from a deficit of unity to fight the fucking power.

knew we had appeared on Beavis and Butthead until the next day when fans told us as we arrived at the club for soundcheck. A full 24 hours later.

Joachim Hirsch (a Jewish boy born 13 May 1937 in Breslau, Germany) was murdered in a gas chamber of the Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp on 6 October 1944.
Exactly 75 years ago today. He was 7 years old.

12 yrs ago today I flew to Texas in a blackout to give rehab one more try. Why did it work then when it hadn’t before? I have no f*%ing idea.
Every single thing I have in my unbelievably beautiful life is on loan to me in exchange for this sobriety.
Thank you for my life.

This doesn’t answer the Q but does remind me: my band
@LettersToCleo
was booked at Cicero’s (100 ppl capacity?) St Louis ‘94 with a British band on their first US tour. At soundcheck we heard the brothers in the band got in a fight, missed their flight, weren’t coming.
Oasis.
After years of drinking without my permission, causing pain to the people I loved most, I took one last shot at getting sober with no hope it would stick.
That was 10 years ago.
Maybe you need to hear it: TODAY IS THE LAST DAY YOU EVER HAVE TO FEEL LIKE THIS. Don’t give up.
Hallie Jackson has always been a very talented interviewer but there's something about motherhood that makes a woman allergic to having her time wasted. This is so well done.

The making of this soundtrack was one of the weirdest, most exciting experiences of my career and ultimately changed the course of my life - no kidding. Fans have always known how fvcking brilliant the film is so it's cool to see audiences catching on.
I RAGE knowing GOP leaders would rather "win" than just let people have relief. $2000 is nothing to them, but everything to my neighbors.
There's no better use for my tax money than to help fellow Americans get through this devastating time.
It's OUR MONEY. GIVE IT BACK.
• I haven’t seen my parents or sisters in 7 months
• My wedding was Oct 24 | cancelled
• When my 27 yr old godson died, I comforted his mom via FaceTime. His funeral was closed
• My fiancé’s touring career has been erased along with his income
Sure, have a WH garden party
every time I see dj khaled all i think about is how he bragged about how he won't go down on his wife and spend just enough time wondering how many other people are also thinking about how he sucks in bed that i don't even notice how stupid his music is
If you’d told me 13 years ago that I could live without booze I wouldn’t have believed you.
Lucky 13 and recovery is still the most important thing to me.
If you think you can’t stop drinking or using, think again. I’m totally rooting for ya.
Thank you for my life.
It’s hard to imagine the shit show my life was 8 years ago. Sick, exhausted, out of answers and options. Hurting and worrying the people I love the most. I gave sobriety one last shot and I’m so grateful I did.
Don’t give up.
Thx

Joe - you’re addressing a yawning void. There is not one single “really confident” or even “kinda confident” democrat. We’re all fucking terrified so no need to school us with your super special knowledge.
I knew there was something about Ingrid I found eerily relatable.
After my embarrassing still drunk/hungover anthem at Gillette for a 2010 Pats playoff game it took me 10 months to check into rehab.
Good for you - call me when you’re out, sis!
Tomorrow this website and others like it will be overrun by Russian divisionbot swarms pretending to be “outraged” democrats who disagree with Kamala’s VP pick.
For the love of reason, please don’t mess up my happy fun timeline by fighting with fake accounts like a ding dong.
Hank Aaron was not just a baseball crushing GOAT, he was an ideal. An aspiration, a smile meant to disarm + welcome, a person of dignity + strength. An actual hero.

In my 50's I sold a TV show to Disney (premiering a week before my 56th birthday), married a cute guy, bought a house, and won my first Emmy so I wish someone told me I was supposed to bully the daughter into incubating my purpose sooner cuz I was distracted as hell.

I give this kid a lot of credit for style, of course but the real magic is in his deep respect for the art of layering butter into the popcorn, which he has taken to museum quality heights. I love him.
Dear Maine -
Vote this dangerous person out of office in November. She’s a benchwarmer whose ass-kissing is an embarrassment beneath your great state.
Also, she’s gonna get us all killed.

My husband is a pilot. Whenever I fly with him in his small plane our exact location in the sky is a matter of public record in real time because, y’know, not crashing into other planes and such.
If record labels + fans found out in the 90s that Tower Records was ripping off artists, using music profits to bankroll and elevate Rush Limbaugh, the shelves would have been empty.
I hope more powerful artists follow

After 35 years of other people doing this part for me I’m finally teaching myself how to record my own demos. Sounds like poop and and I’m super into it.
Thanks for all the birthday wishes yesterday! I’m totally into being in my 50s and all the wisdom, strength and love that has come with this decade so far. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world 🌵☀️

I’m taking notes, Laurie. If there’s such a thing as slaying the grief game, you’re doing it.
Just wanted to thank you for letting all of us miss your mom, too!

All I can think about is Adam Schlesinger, an irreplaceable gift to this world, having to be hospitalized while waiting for his COVID test to come back, dying 2 weeks later, alone, on a ventilator.
It makes me so angry and sad.
Buttigieg: I mean the really sad thing is he said that after Chasten and I had been through fairly heartbreaking setback in our adoption journey. He couldn't have known that, but maybe that's why you shouldn't be talking about other people’s children

Obama had to be perfect. All day everyday. No rhetorical errors, misspellings, rogue opinions, ethically challenged staff, not even a whiff of drama. He got in trouble for ordering the wrong mustard.
Pence just suggested that we embrace the occult to stop the spread of coronavirus and comfort the grieving.

Sometimes when I’m about to hit send on a text or tweet I’ll ask myself, “Is what I’m about to say gonna improve the silence?” and easily half the time the answer is nah and I will delete that shit.
It’s honestly one of the best tools in my toolbox.

I feel you’re punking us but I’ll bite. At minimum:
• Ye - never voted, shows little interest actual job, is erratic, seems suffering from untreated mental illness, hasn’t filed FEC papers
• Biden - depth of life + gov’t experience, chooses smart, diverse staff, can beat Trump
Sure, there are a million bigger things to worry about and yet this nags at me: if you're a publicist, journalist, photographer, ghostwriter or fashion designer and are asked to participate in the public relations rehabilitation of Ivanka or Melania Trump, JUST SAY NO.

I was addicted to opiates, as well. It’s impossible to describe the intense hamster wheel hell to anyone who hasn’t been through it. I understand the shame but I want to remind you that your willingness to share this part of yourself saves lives.
Thank you for that ❤️
Let’s make sure this fucktwat has a short miserable stay in Washington, forced to reckon with an inhuman barrage of daily humiliations because of this goofy ass picture.
Imagine thinking one of the guys who plotted against America and gave insurrectionists the “stay strong, I’m with you” (Hitler move) gesture literally moments later ran for his life and some republicans still believe that same guy has a future in American politics.
Kim Shattuck, one of my all time greatest inspirations in music and in real life. I cannot believe that she’s gone. Love to her family and bandmates on this unthinkably sad day. Godspeed Kim, long live

Hi! Let’s kick this week off right!

• encourage loved ones to mask up like grandma’s life depends on it because it FUCKING DOES
