Not everybody knows the tragic feeling of being single most of your life but also knowing you would make the best partner with the right person given the chance.

America's most notorious child rapist, Jeffrey Epstein, said this man was the worst person he'd ever met. Let that sink in.

I am loathe to get (new) winter coats because I don't like to acknowledge winter in the hopes it will disappear, but today I got a sample sale coat for $40 that's really cool and retails for $250, so suck it winter.

I don't think I've ever seen this before, though the James Taylor one is genius, so why would the Billy Joel (and Marlee Matlin) one not be as well (psst: IT IS)? youtu.be/hHC3M7KL2ns?...

Even in this garbage timeline, I cannot believe that reversing same sex marriage rights was even being entertained, but at least we get a bit of good news today on that

It was 60° and sunny on Sat in Sandwich, MA. Yesterday in Sandwich, NH (about 3 hours north) it was snowing. I'm glad I was in Sandwich, MA (though both are beautiful towns). The third town in the US named Sandwich is in IL, and I do not know the temperature situation there.

Naw, I will not be watching your "comedy" reel where you put smelling salts under peoples' noses for a laugh. They few times they've been used on me were absolutely horrific, painful. Do not recommend under any circumstance (that's not medically necessary).

Designer Take: The people who design content for digital billboards haven't yet figured out that the same principles apply as with printed billboards: avoid too much stuff (images or text), message should be easy to read and comprehend quickly while someone is driving past

Pssst, there are no (in quotes) "Christians" or "so-called Christians" or "true Christians". There are only Christians. It's all made up (by people, some terrible), so a Christian can believe whatever they'd like, and Christian ideologies are often in direct conflict with (another's) 🤷🏻♀️

There's are now a few generations of people who have never gone to a restaurant where the host asks, "smoking or non-smoking?" and I love that for them.

My endless admiration to anyone who leaves the church (any church or religion), esp those who've been indoctrinated since childhood. Knowing that they may lose friends/family and community, but realizing magical thinking no longer serves (+ often does harm). Incredibly brave.

Halloween is, of course, the only (semi) barrier to two+ months of Christmas mania ("I PUT UP MY TREE UP ON NOVEMBER 1st AND DON'T TAKE IT DOWN UNTIL MAY EVERYTHING IS TERRIBLE I'M ALLOWED!!")* but at least it's possible to drive through Salem again 🤷🏼
