Baking after a little happy hour and it’s a bit of a gamble because I’m not sure how old this baking soda is…

In Sephora today - just me and about 50 8-13 year olds shopping. I’m honestly not even sure i knew the word “skincare” at that age.

I think I may have lucked out.

My doc prescribes medication for me, pharmacist calls me.

pharmacist: I’m going to charge you the cash price of this prescription because I think that’ll be better for you if that’s ok.
Me: what does that mean?
Pharmacist: Cash price is $43. If we go thru your insurance, it’ll cost you $147.

Call Cory Booker’s office today to thank him for making his marathon speech. His office numbers are (973) 639-8700 or (856) 338-8922 or (202) 224-3224.
CALL the 202 number - it looks like his home office VM is full. 🫶

Its a good show when days later, you find yourself humming some of the deep cuts they played, going back to listen to old albums and remembering old loves you had perhaps forgotten but are woven into your conscious. Crazy to still know words to songs you haven’t heard in MAYBE DECADES.

I genuinely don’t think the western half of the country can be judged on the mean/nice axis because its most salient characteristic by far is being incredibly weird—sometimes in a light way, sometimes in a dark way. If you don’t think it’s weird, I question how much you know about it.

The kindness of other women, especially when it comes to sharing stories about men…. Is undefeated.

The official White House account just referred to Trump as a “king” and posted an image with a crown on his head.

They’re not even hiding it.

He’s totally trying to start a war with Canada and he thinks he’s going to make Americans be ok with it.

Couldn’t say which cabinet pick has been the worst yet, but RFK might be the one that causes the most death. Wish I was joking

We have seen doctors a LOT already this year and while our healthcare system may be 👎, I have to give kudos to all of MHealthFairview folks we’ve come in to contact w the last 2 months for the respectful caring way they have addressed pronouns etc.
I honestly felt like they really care and it’s ♥️

Hi friends :) I do social media for a few diff small businesses + my fave thing is when some of the people that work there trust me to take their pictures. ♥️
But look how easy they make it. Older women often don’t know how gorgeous they are. Let’s change that.

A to do list for my winter.
There’s a reason why wine makes an appearance in just about every great romantic movie. Like the way a baguette tucked into a bag says we’re in Paris, a full glass of wine in a soft restaurant means someone is probably falling in love.

Intimacy is built into the DNA of these cozy spaces – all centered around something special in the glass.

Not exaggerating when I say I would like a personal, handwritten apology from every pundit who barfed out a dozen "the left wants to change the way you talk!" op-eds based on non-mandatory guidelines in obscure PDFs.

I guess some of you don’t understand art or even when something is art and my god I feel sorry for you.

this is so true: it's vibes over facts.

Public Opinion Is Meaningless Against Trump -- Public Action Is What Matters
