Well alright, stuff about me:
🎤 I like singing, but I am not always in tune
📖 I love reading and writing
📢 Okay, I'm leaning into the fact I am loud. I have great chat.
🎮 Deck builders and euro games (but I'll try anything)
🎵 Try anything, but electronica, metal, spooky sad girl shit is life.

Don’t throw away those leftovers! Here’s a great recipe that takes just three hours to prepare and uses only $30 of additional ingredients!

I think Grey's Anatomy is a psyop designed to make emotional girls cry (me). Like when you have to burp a baby? Y'know?
Anyway thanks Shonda Rhimes for always excising my emotional trapped wind ig

I have a call at 3 and one person might join who nearly made me cry last time. Let's hope she doesn't join 🥲

I think its genuinely a virtue to accept that you could be wrong about anything and kill the part of yourself that needs to always be seen as correct and smarter than others on any given topic

Among everything else fascinating about the Louvre heist, it's delightful it took place at 9.30am. Most of us, if planning a massive jewel theft, would be setting an alarm for the middle of the night. The French remind us you can have a decent night's sleep and THEN do it.

People who use ChatGPT to write dating messages: will you ask the robot to fuck your date too? To look into their eyes the second before you share that very first electric kiss?! Dating with AI is surely the peak example of ‘using a forklift to pick up weights in the gym.’
