My dad died just over a year ago, but I wish I could tell him that my life now is great and that is entirely because of him. He gave me a beautiful life. Thank you, Dad. ❤️
This is way too real to share with a social media platform I need to quit ASAP (~delete your account~) but: it took me 641 days to be okay that my husband left me. But today, 1,273 days in, I am truly *glad* he did.
If you’re still in the shit, hang in there. ❤️
My smile says “yay” but my eyes say “media accreditation is inherently incompatible with a truly free press” 😂 (Thanks again for the assist,

Nugget kept stealing food, so I bought a plastic bin to put it in. But then Nugget figured out how to open the bin, so I put the bin in a high cupboard. But then Nugget learned to leap six feet in the air and open the cupboard, so I tried to lock it with a hair tie ...
omg he came back while I was eating
Man: what did I tell you? it’s not enough food without rice, is it?
I put my fork down, leaned back in my chair, and just LOOKED AT HIM until he left
I have never felt more powerful
I’m doing a new thing where I just wordlessly stare at men who annoy me
Me: chicken, please
Man: rice or noodles?
Me: neither
Man: it won’t be as good without rice
Me: (stares)
Man: I recommend rice
Me: (stares)
Man: ... okay ... no rice ...
I'm not even going to vaguetweet right now: Like six months ago, I wrote the first chapter of my next book. And then I let it sit and forgot about it. I'm finally re-reading it now.
AND I FUCKING LOVE IT.
(Be happy for me: writers rarely get to like our own work. 🤣)
Today someone (very politely!) asked me to please put on a mask during our conversation, which would have been fair enough except ... we were on Zoom at the time? 🤨
Well, after an 18-month legal battle, I’m divorced. It’s not what I wanted, but I accept that this wasn’t in my control: whatever comes next is. Help inspire me by sharing your own stories of post-heartbreak awesomeness! 😍
Here is how I spent my morning: using a megaphone to heckle members of the public for having their heads buried in their phones.

: “Talk to me. What are you doing?”
Me: “I’m reading an article about chemical castration.”
Dan: “This is why you’re no fun at parties.”

When I found baby Nugg dying on a street in Dakar, I though he had ruined my plans. I had wanted to be free and flexible. But I couldn’t walk away from him. So I changed my plans, brought Nugget back to life, and I’m so glad I did. He brought me back to life, too. 😍

I just sent my agent the first draft of the first chapter of my next book. It's only the start of a very long road, but tonight I am blissfully, unbelievably happy. 😍

Isn't this like condemning people who protested with sit ins for taking up counter space from tip-giving clients? Nonviolent protest is good
But here’s the thing: tonight, I told a friend about my feelings and fears. And she was kind to me. And *because of that* I’ve decided to get vaccinated and just deal with the consequences
Someone once told me that whenever a person tells me about his or her job, I should say, no matter what: “Wow, that must be really difficult!”
And it WORKS. It’s an amazing social hack. Do you guys have any other infallible phrases to recommend? I’m hungry for more 😂
If you're a sex worker, your consent matters.
If you're a fetishist, your consent matters.
If you're poly, your consent matters.
If you're queer, your consent matters.
If you're trans, your consent matters.
If you're anyone, you consent matters.
Nugget, faced with the cruel but inevitable decline of his youth, takes a moment of quiet melancholy to observe the bourgeois carnival of late-stage capitalism that is his birthday party

’s favorite implements are? Have you ever wondered what my buddy Alex’s favorite implement is? 🤣 Now you can find out!
Y’all know I have complicated feelings about my book. But this A D O R A B L E couple just sent me this photo of themselves on a date, and I — 😭😍. If my book helped spark romance in some small way for other people, it was all worth it.
Am I being subtweeted? 😂 Probably not, but FWIW: I personally think spanking is unavoidably sexual because it causes physiologically sexual responses (genital blood engorgement, oxytocin surge, etc.)
I can't explain the view of "Spanking is always sexual" other than willful ignorance. Perhaps your knowledge of human behavior ends with Sigmund Freud? In that case, please educate yourself before speaking for a community. Thanks. Sorry not sorry.
