It says this is about flying but it’s really more about negotiating a giant giant airport a sort of comedy of bleariness and tedium

I am obviously not the first to say this, but the reason I fucking hate liberals is because the absolute worst thing to them is to take a fucking stand. They think the high point of being a great human being is wringing your hands about how fucking complicated everything is.

I get the kid discourse but I mean also parents are constantly like wow you just can’t understand anything about life until you give birth and hold that baby and then let it watch YouTube for the rest of its life I’m so sorry you’ll never feel that

I went on a double date once and Jake Tapper was in the other couple - he was so dumb I thought everything he said was a joke I kept saying wait are you serious … wait are you making a joke? He was maybe 27? 28? And seemed 9.

I’m freaked out at how scary it is to speak out against Israel’s occupation/genocide of Palestine & how many people I know aren’t doing it because they’re afraid of losing friends/ jobs/family or being called anti semites, which is a lie. Do it anyway. Show up. Be counted.

I think it’s funny when you’re staying w someone who has a dog and they’re like “the dog only likes me” and then they go out and the dog is like “hey how’s it going? I would be perfectly happy to switch my allegiance to you at any time.”
