Tying myself to a certain type of men has to be some kind of past life penance. This is ridiculous.
Literally had no idea who Rod Liddle was- but man the UK responses to his demise are eloquent, witty, dry-humoured poetry with incredible snap to them. Imagine someone so reviled that the world found out about him through his trending passing. Brilliantly done UK. 👏😂
Christopher Hitchens said of Jerry Falwell: “If you gave him an enema, he could be buried in a matchbox.” So anyway, Rod Liddle is dead.
150,000 marched yesterday in London for trans rights. Opened the Sky News app. Scrolled and scrolled. Nothing. BBC News app. Nothing. Guardian app. Nothing. This is what actual silencing looks like.
#intrusivebookidea premise: FBI is tasked to watch regular people who are really just “Left.” While watching the mirror-phone they obv. have… they fall in love with this girl who is just, moderately smart, & plays Spelling Bee from the NYT ridiculously well, but also quirky in the words that…
#ladygateguard Taking suggestions on things to call men that call me “sweetie” and other such things when I’m here. Will report on results if y’all give me good ones.
Hi, I’m almost 42 and I just realized I’ve been over half of my life married to men who didn’t even really like me. 🤮🤮🤮 I’ll be out of service for the next month, kthanks
Pro tip: Let your least “Do it for the plot” friend take over decision making in your more yolo type actions. This will save you lots of of stupid consequences for stupid decisions. I will not be expounding on that.
#ladygateguard If men call me “sweetie” when I’m a gate guard, can I just arrest them? Asking for a friend 🙄
#thingsIwouldsaytoyoungme Marrying a man for the idea of safety & security is a lie. Fulfilling a wife role➡️ fullest doesn’t earn u respect in a marriage. You love the idea of being a kept woman until you realize that your “contractual” duties will be the rope around your neck when you need help.
#ladygateguard I never felt short. I’ve heard it, but I never *felt* it. I hate lifted trucks.

We need to talk more about age limits in government service, from Congress to the Supreme Court. These are people with generous pensions. At some point, they need to know when it’s time to go. Too many refuse. Maybe it’s time to make it law.
#ladygateguard Guy that works at the store came up to me for the first time ever- said “Hi, I’m ___, Can I have your number?” I literally paused, and was like, why? I thought he might be a manager or something? Nope. Just wanted to chat. Literally my first time seeing him. Is he watching me? 🫥🤮
This summer, we kept the lights on all night, every night, at five soccer fields across New York City. This was the scene at Calvert Vaux Park in Gravesend, Brooklyn Tuesday night.
Imagine if a woman president spent most her time raving and crying about an election she lost 6 years ago. Emotional. Unstable. Hysterical. Unfit to lead.
#ladygateguardstories 60 year old man asked about my chest tattoo (that you can barely see) so I showed a tiny bit of the map & how it’s for my kids and he says “Sexiest map I’ve ever seen!” You can quit dressing for the male gaze, but the males don’t darn quit.
currently reading a whole bunch of petitions and editorials from black americans of the revolutionary era and it is so striking (and frankly inspiring) to see how the ink wasn't even dry on the declaration before black americans were demanding that the patriots live up to their stated ideals
Caption this lol Went to go to the gym and the chicken said I didn’t need it 🤣🤣😂
So Scientific American did an article on the hydrogen peroxide they added to the algae pool… Turns out the “expert” they got to weigh in has a bachelor in Sports Management and is named Tim. Tim has some ‘splaining to do
Billionaires: “Y’all can die, we just need this technology so maybe, if we kill you fast enough- I can live forever. You’re welcome.”
Hi- Hegseth did the opener for a NASCAR race that was held ON a military base in San Diego. UFC 2.0?
