Julie explores life with curiosity, creativity, and connection. I share observations with humor, offering perspective on the world and how it shapes us—lightening life’s complexities along the way.
I’ve been thinking a lot about hope lately — that slippery, glitter-covered concept we clutch like a security blanket when the world’s on fire. Hope is the thing we’re supposed to have, supposed to spread, supposed to embody in our hashtags and holiday cards. But honestly? Hope feels
They don’t have plans. They have panic. What they call “policy” is a blunt instrument: mass raids, masked federal squads, and a scorched-earth answer to problems that never had to be reduced to human hunting. Instead of offering real solutions — jobs, housing, mental-health care, infrastructure, a functional immigration system
Good morning! The champagne still hasn’t stopped fizzing at Mar-a-Lago, though the rest of the country can’t afford bubbles in their tap water. On Halloween night, as D.C. police and National Guardsmen tried to corral chaos at the Navy Yard, Donald Trump and his entourage were busy
Good morning, lucky souls. If you remembered to whisper “Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit” before your feet hit the floor today, congratulations — the universe owes you one smooth month. If you forgot, go ahead and say it now. I’m not sure the cosmic record-keepers mind a little tardiness; they’re probably

Friends, The only upside to living through this dark time is it pushes us to rethink and perhaps totally remake things we once thought immutable. Like the Democratic Party. In case you hadn’t noticed, the current Democratic Party is dysfunctional if not dead. Better dysfunctional than a fascist cult
Trump’s Bulldozer Politics Donald Trump’s I-don’t-give-a-fuck desecration of the White House isn’t just un-American — it’s anti-American. Democracies have committees, commissions, and preservation boards for a reason: to safeguard what belongs to all of us. Dictators, however, skip the process. They bulldoze history because they believe
My imagination ran wild on this one! Because up is down and down is up…possible. Once upon a time in the United States of Trumpistan, where laws are more like suggestions and ethics are about as sturdy as a wet napkin at a hot dog stand, the Administration decided
