Once -- just once -- could it be above 40 degrees in the #ChapelHill #TraderJoes? I almost couldn't get my credit card out of my wallet. #raynauds

A French charity is testing an unusual fund-raising approach in the fine art world: Raffling off a Picasso painting worth more than 1 million euros to one winner. Each of the raffle tickets is on sale for 100 euros, and proceeds will go toward research into Alzheimer’s disease. trib.al/Xi9XqjE

I love this so very much.
In sixth grade I used the word "stolid" in a paper and my teacher marked it as a spelling error, then accused me of cheating when I tried to argue, so I like to put it into each of my books as a cute little fuck you to that lady.

Found myself unexpectedly #Whammed Wed morning. 😑Thanks go to the #DeltaKappaEpsilon brothers of #UNC, whose 10 AM, music-enhanced, #LDOC #uglysweater coffee gathering on their front lawn did me in... 🎅☕💥 #Whamageddon

Maybe it’s the #copyeditor in me, but I can’t be the only one who nearly loses their mind every time Melinda Dillon’s time-traveling #1980s perm shows up in the 1950s of #AChristmasStory. #gah #holidaymovies

Yesterday's #stetwalk was snowy, like a #NeilWelliver painting, making this #exiledmainer and #arthistoryeditor doubly happy! 😀 Looking forward to hiking with other editors in #SLC at #ACES2025. Who's in? ❄️🌲🥾🖼️🎨📚🖥️ #amediting

Everyone I met who went to a women’s college is always terrifying
Shake hands with a woman who went to Smith or Wellesley or Spelman and they will look into your soul and crush your hand with their handshake
