Begging someone out there to write an actual good teen drama. The kids today don’t know how good it used to be.
We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.
I was watching The West Wing and pretending things were great, and then I opened the World Wide Web

This administration has convinced half the country that the real problem isn’t the billionaires who evade taxes and collect government handouts, but the working class who pay taxes and get nothing in return.
Drinking bourbon on a Wednesday and comfort bingeing Buffy, things are fine
The arts takeover might seem like small potatoes compared to much of what this admin is up to, but it's all part of narrowing whose voices are centered, whose ideas are lifted up, and whose stories are told. This is a national tragedy in its own right.

Really wish they’d consulted me for that boy band documentary because I have a LOT of thoughts about it.
I didn’t need to see this to know men were Ohio’s problem, but it is kind of nice?
