"It wasn’t so long ago that L.G.B.T.Q. people were thrilled to cheer for every out person and ally who would march in the Pride parade, including L.G.B.T.Q. police officers," writes the editorial board. nyti.ms/33SBPLi

i have a theory that so many men in particular fixate on """staying friends""" with exes (despite having treated said ex unkindly and despite there being no real friendship to return to) bc what they really mean is "how can i get rid of you without experiencing any actual loss"

i like country music when it's by someone who would help me hide a body and flee the law, but not when it's by someone who would call me a slur, hope that helps

this reminds me of one where these parents had, for shits & giggles, convinced their kid that harry potter magic was real & that she'd be going to hogwarts? like, there's a point where it stops being cute & starts doing harm... these parents sure do feel awfully entitled to lie

I am so wary of people who claim to love language while blithely and gleefully self-identifying as “grammar n*zis”, as if the words we use don’t actually mean things. Especially now.

oh god this poor woman. since it’s her stepson’s wife, i’d hope that her husband/the stepson’s dad would be super proactive abt telling his son “what your wife is doing is vicious and invasive and you gotta intervene, get her to stop, and consider the apology y’all owe my wife”

it’s always “if your friends jumped off a bridge would you jump too” and never “if a writer whose one novel you liked five years ago waded into tricky discourse would you rush blindly to their defense”

a small victory night-tweet: crunched the numbers, and since taking over TH social media, i've more than doubled the IG following. i blew my platform growth goal for the last year out of the water, and now on track to hit reach goal. i'm tired from doing "math" but i'm so proud.

"who cares, X already exists" is absolutely the mood. i've reached a point where i've decided that "valid" is for feelings, coupons, and parking slips, and i personally cannot be bothered with it as a framework for anything else

my policy of “if you wanted to stay friends then you shouldve been friendly” has kept some really spectacular exes in my life bc they ended things thoughtfully, invested in our friendship, and treated me as a person and not just a partner. it’s such a fun kind of closeness now 🥰
