And here I am, using my lady voice in public like a STRUMPET.

And if, as folks are suggesting, it’s a bit—it’s a bad one.

This is someone who has very possibly never actually heard a woman speak. Ever. In his life.

I love France on all days in all ways, but especially when she’s all, “Don’t make me tap the guillotine.”

Someone outside the US: So, let me get this straight. The groundhog...

Me: Is clairvoyant, yes

Cat: “I cannot convey to you just how much I genuinely despise this food.”
Me: “Here, have this instead.”
Cat: “OMG I LOVE IT.”
Me: “It’s exactly the same bowl of food. I just took it away for six seconds then put it back in the same place.”
Cat: “I am fire and the wind. Do not attempt to know me.”

I thought that might be your emotional support mushroom but now I think you’re its human.

Me: I meet challenges with patience and light.

Also me, to my printer: Don’t be a little bitch, Margo.

Streaming Bridgerton 3 on repeat while I write because this album is a banger as the youths say.

This! If you want to putter you could totally fix it. Also that’s an impressive hole. Inspect it for pirate treasure.

There was a smug B*rnie bro who condescended to my grief the day after elections in 2016. He called me hysterical and I sincerely hope he feels remorse so deep in his gut that it hits his scrotum.

It’s actually beautifully fluid. I could be wishing you gentle bees to make tasty honey or killer bees to stab you to death with tiny butt swords and you’ll never know which.
I mistyped an email sign off as “all the bees” instead of “all the best”. I reckon I’m going to stick with it. I can’t think of anything negative that can possibly come of wishing someone all the bees.

I’m mad about it every day.
I have spent fifty years rolling my eyes at conspiracy theories where all the elite rich people are in a secret evil gang, and thrillers where everyone remotely important has the same Dark Secret, and now sodding look.
