My liver’s perfect. My kidneys are divine. My glucose is… a little dramatic. We’re waiting on more tests. And I’m being very brave about it.

Not Everything Is Simple. (Except Me—I’m Perfect.)

Sometimes I fantasize about disappearing.

Not dying.

Just logging off.

Getting a job no one cares about.

Growing tomatoes.

Writing poems in the margins of a notebook no one reads.

Not as a failure.

But as a kind of freedom.

AMAZING! A 90 year old Holocaust survivor confronted Trump's ICE director.

What a legend.

sometimes i wonder how many versions of myself i’ve outgrown without even noticing. i look back at old photos and remember the thoughts i used to carry, the dreams i thought would save me. it’s strange how you can live inside yourself every day and still not realize you’re evolving. it’s only when you look back that you realize how far you’ve come, how many lives you’ve already lived in the same skin.

I wouldn't be out there if I didn't believe that America can come through this moment, if each of us is prepared to play our role in demanding and delivering a better future.

Sec of C = Sounds like "sexy"

humornama.com: The expression “square root of (1 plus tan squared of C)” is mathematically equivalent to “sec of C”. This is due to the trigonometric identity that “1 plus tan squared of C” equals “sec squared of C”. When you take the square root of both sides of this identity, “square root of (1 plus tan squared of C)” is equal to “sec of C”. However, when spoken aloud, “sec of C” can sound like “sexy,” leading to a playful and unexpected connection between a dry mathematical concept and a casual, light-hearted term.

Fine, but who is going to explain what 'tan squared' is. Never heard of tan in that regard. Tan is something that happens to people with a decent amount of melanin when exposed to the sun. I always seem to get Tan squared, as in sunburn. Being stupid this Sunday. I wonder if James and wife would take me with them on their get-a-way!

I would say silly, i don't relate to you being stupid.
