—I HOPE YOU DON’T TAKE THIS THE WRONG WAY

  

…Fuck that guy. I’m serious—Fuck that guy.

 

…Go, Becky, Go!

 

…“She said, ‘I think I’d like you better if you took off your clothes’.” The 1975

 

…Is that true? 

 

…Someone somewhere is just waking up. That’s for sure.

 

…Where would I be if I wasn’t in my brain all the time?

 

…Talk about foreplay. Good Lord.

 

…If you want it bad enough, it’s yours.

 

…One of the greatest lines ever—"The dregs are both the worst, and best, part.”

 

…Boy, how about a nap? Because you seem like you really need a nap right now.

  

…I’m going to regret all of this tomorrow again. Again. Again.

 

…I’ve gotta be careful because they only give you one heart, even if it’s a used model. 

 

…I wanna get better.

 

…If you’re doing it right, listening is never passive.

 

…I really don’t know what I’d do if I couldn’t write anymore. Probably just close the curtains.

 

…All right then. Let’s figure it out.

 

...“That Fucker, he kept stepping on my dick all day. I mean, what was I supposed to do?”

 

…I really miss her.

…The guy next door sounds very angry. I know he’s wearing a trucker hat, but I sure hope he’s Blue.

…F.D.A. Blocked Publication of Research Finding Covid and Shingles Vaccines Were Safe

…Really, why do we even have an F.D.A.?

 

… FBI raiding office of Virginia Senator who led redistricting push

…Why do we still have the FBI when all they are are tools of the alt right?

 

…G.O.P. Proposes $1 Billion for Security Improvements in Ballroom Project

 

…Where do we just get a BILLION DOLLARS for a BALLROOM after we’ve ALREADY spent $30 BILLION DOLLARS on a nonsensical war with Iran that hasn’t even ended yet?

Under DOGE, we eliminated all aid to USAID which saved over a MILLION lives in AFRICA a year, and our contribution to USAID was $1.2 a year. We have literally killed a million people this year for a fucking ballroom.

…Does no one care about what’s going on?

 

…“Is there anything else you’d like to mention a few hundred times more?”

 

…Maybe.

 

…“During the Presidential Physical Fitness Youth Challenge signing ceremony in the Oval Office, President Donald Trump told a young girl, in front of a room full of people, that her height would stop her from ever playing volleyball. Yes, at an event literally designed to hype kids up.” Yahoo, 4/6/26

 

… Eighty-seven percent of Americans have a negative view of Trump’s social media post appearing to depict himself as Jesus, according to the poll. Sixty-nine percent dislike Hegseth praying at the Pentagon for “overwhelming violence of action against those who deserve no mercy.”

 

…Who IN THE FUCK prays for that? Are you even kidding me?

 

…Here’s where you’re supposed to be careful.

 

...Remember, we both went to college. We can figure this out.

 

…Ginger.

 

 

 “Sometimes I wonder if we’ll ever know the truth about anything.”

  

…“There’s a whole TikTok about that.”

 

…“You can be a real asshole sometimes. Do you know that?”

 

…I may, or may not be, completely in love with Jack Antonoff.

  

...Sha la la la la lalala.

 

…Now I’ll say it straight. I wrote this song about you.

 

…Social media, if you’re on it, figures you out really quick and the algorithms align right away. Sometimes I get tired of the same old thing, but then I think—look: those are poems and these are all writers and if I was nine years old this would be what Heaven looks like. 

 

…I’ve got a lot of thoughts about that video. Like you’re the genius I’ve been counting on, yet you do that?

 

…Sometimes, I just cut-and-paste without looking, which is a bad move.  You should always look first, check both sideways mirrors or the one right in front of you.

 

…Schecky. Shylock. Not even close.

 

…I suspect today will be a long day. I should shut up and stop my bitching. How many people get those, long days?

 

…I’m glad I deleted those other posts. 

 

…“Nobody else seemed to notice that the world had been spinning in the opposite direction, or that the air was thinner this way around, or that the sun felt like ice.” Lily King, The Pleasing Hour 

 

…Good luck with that.

 

…The good news is ___  _____ ___ ______.

 

…I still remember all those reasons why.

 

…It doesn’t just go away.

 

…I can’t believe you’re arguing with me about this.

 

…I keep pinching and it’s still there. But how?

 

…Shut up and drink your dead coffee.

 

…I guess I guess I guess,

 

…As far as Fridays go, this has been a lengthy one already and it’s not even started yet.

 

…Why is that such an effort? You read a few lines. You think about them. You write a few lines yourself. You hit Send. That’s how friendship is supposed to work today.

 

…I guess I’ll never know, and you won’t either.

 

…Who saw this happening?

 

…This is the most important one. Our last chance. Whatever we do, let’s not fuck it up again.

 

…I felt so stupid, how I tried and tried but I still couldn’t figure it out. I felt like a little kid wearing his dad’s Easter suit.

 

…It’s probably a bad sign when you see a boat on the lake with an American flag and your first impulse is to sink it.

 

…“I owe you a black eye and two kisses.

Tell me when you wanna come get em.”

     --Ethel Cain

 

…I looked at the clock and it looked back at me without blinking.

 

…The problem with wearing pants is they make you feel fat when you sit down.

 

….I’m probably going to get arrested and imprisoned soon, but, to quote John Mellencamp, “Ain’t that America?”

…Can’t we just sit on your deck, watch the old duffers and look for hummingbirds while sipping short ones? We’ll laugh at stupid shit and I’ll walk you to bed if need be. That sounds pretty damn sweet about now.

 

…I felt safe then.
