i love big Taylor Swift days because i end them deeply annoyed at hardcore taylor-can-do-no-wrong swifties *and* skeptics who roll their eyes at every word — proving that only I have achieved the proper degree of Liking Taylor Swift

DeSantis is a pathetic loser and any jokes at his expense are well worth it, but we should not lose sight of the fact that the agenda he successfully executed in pursuit of being a loser has real, lasting harm on countless people
all those anti-trans/anti-CRT bills that did real harm, in large part to boost his profile/fire up voters, for a disastrous multimillion dollar campaign that went nowhere

Today was my last day at Jezebel. Despite all the ups and downs, I'm super proud of all the work my team put out these past 2 years, and I hope everyone continues to support the great writers who are still there. I'm not exactly sure what's next for me, but do stay tuned. <3
