Like tossing some more tea into a harbor honestly. 😂

I just opened The Morning newsletter and the first 60% is about why Biden should step down. wtf?

Preach.

Yepppp. I even have three editions that I framed and are hanging up but lately every edition has felt so cringey.

I agree! That’s what has kept me going back to them but god their US coverage just feels like garbage lately. If I have to see another “Biden is old” article I might throw my phone.

Okay hear me out. I’m going to out myself as a big swiftie. I am also a huge Vulf-universe fan. Consider giving any of Midnights a shot. My husband (who introduced me to Vulf) wasn’t ever a fan but really likes Midnights.

I don’t judge anyone who isn’t a fan but I do think she has something for everyone.

Anyone as exhausted by NYT’s coverage lately as I am? I’ve been a subscriber forever and genuinely think they have some incredible journalists but like, the downward slide is accelerating it seems like.

I get the Sunday print edition and the op-ed section was wall to wall “this is why Biden should drop out.” It’s like they don’t even care about the other 70,000 news-worthy things going on.

Is their editorial board just full of psychos now?

Totally get it. And sometimes what you need is a good pity party. Just wanted to share my comment because even if it doesn’t help now, hopefully some part of you internalizes it for the future. 💛

Comparison is the thief of joy. Everyone moves at their own pace. Don’t let the appearance of “having it all together” make you think you’re somehow behind.

I legit almost lost my mind when I put two and two together and was like “holy fuck they just said ‘Nixon was right. If you’re the president, it’s legal’”

He’s literally doing it right now. I think that’s where the dooming is coming from. The second the ruling came down, he was going to start saying “this was official.” His sentencing in New York got delayed until September 18th because he said paying off Stormy was “an official act.”

I do not have the energy to spar on this but my personal fear/anger about this ruling is that it was decided based on presidents that stayed within the confines of the law and had some semblance of understanding that the office was not for personal gain. That’s all well and good in legal theory but I do not believe for a second that the republican appointed justices didn’t know exactly what they were doing with this ruling. It gives one man, the only convicted felon to ever be running for the presidency, carte Blanche to just say “well this was official” and delay his trials over and over again. That’s what I take issue with. Justice delayed is justice denied.

Oh yeah. It’s bad. Like wouldn’t feel so bad if we could trust that the president was law abiding (no matter what party) but like… that’s just not true anymore.

One of those days I wish I was just totally out of the loop politically.

Rubber stamping this. My mother in law and I are both pretty involved and plugged in politically. Both of us texted each other basically saying “I’m exhausted.” Giving myself permission to just be gloomy and basically hide under a blanket for a few days.

I’m not as completely devastated as I was when Roe came down, but I am supremely numb.

The fact that I’m supposed to go push buttons on a keyboard so I can pay to live and eat and pretend that yesterday’s SCOTUS decisions weren’t soul sucking makes me want to curl up in a ball.

Um. What was that inflection on “are you ready for it?” She hasn’t done that before….

Thank you everything bagel for finally getting me on the board.

Ooopf. Also USA. All the feels for you. Politics is a dumpster fire all over this year.

I’ve been thinking that this whole time. Like…Tree? Is that you?

This is why I’m glad my husband doesn’t play haha. Although he does get a kick of me yelling at the tv from the other room.

And my mastermind thanked for that haha. I almost picked this one but I was like “nah. No way shed repeat it so fast” 🫣

You have got to be kidding me. She’s outfit repeating again??

I will never get over how many feels the opening of the Eras Tour gets me. I cry EVERY TIME.

She’s very chatty again…it’s sus

I’ve held off going all green for the 1989 outfit and I committed today. Because why the hell not at this point haha
