That being said, #SNL50 was largely underwhelming in comparison to #SNL40, which just so happens to be one of my comfort shows. Paul McCartney was, and will ALWAYS, be worth it

There is absolutely NOTHING you could do or tell me that would make me hate Paul McCartney. What an absolute fucking legend. #SNL50

I’m 2 months clean from dating months and honestly, I deserve applause

Bobby Moynihan is a gift to us all. #SNL50

so since the Eagles won that’s a sign that I should text my ex who’s from Philly right

this is the only appropriate take

It’s so funny to me how people are surprised that I’m watching the Super Bowl, but like… it’s glitz? It’s glamour? It’s literally a PERFORMANCE? It’s an EVENT. I love all of these things. I wish the team captains would kiss at the end.

public libraries are one of the few spaces left in the world where you can just show up, enjoy what the space has to offer, and not spend a single dollar, and I think that’s beautiful

not to be dramatic, but I will die if Reese Witherspoon doesn’t get her hands on this one and turn it into a mini series

Sorry, but this is a top tier compliment

it’s only been 4 days since el pendejo naranjo got inaugurated… how the FUCK are we supposed to survive 4 more years?

so as it turns out, when you tell your therapist that you are ready to be challenged, she may actually challenge you in unexpected ways !!!!

I know this whole TikTok thing is pure propaganda (Tr*mp is literally the person who started this all and now we’re supposed to be thanking him ????? be so fucking fr) but I’m glad I don’t have to know a world where I can’t watch my silly lil TikToks while I take a feelings bath

holding space in my heart for incarcerated Texas youth this week as they endure below freezing temps. I’ve been in those rooms (I refuse to call them c*lls) on a hot summer day, and let me tell yall… they are frigid

anyway, I would just like to point out that I called this over 6 months ago

There is a modality of therapy called Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). DBT teaches us that two seemingly opposing truths can coexist. The same applies to the Lively/Baldoni case: Blake Lively can both exhibit harmful behavior AND still be deserving of protection. Complexity is human.

I think that Blake Lively handled the release of It Ends With Us in a completely inappropriate and tone-deaf manner, but I’m still going to believe women. Every. Fucking. Time.

got bangs this weekend without simultaneously having an identity crisis and I think that’s a big move for me tbh

being attracted to men is so embarrassing, like I literally just spent 30 min journaling about a date I went on last wknd smh

One of my formers asked me to edit his law school essays, and the first thing he mentions is how his decision to pursue law was because of his experience in speech & debate and I honestly could not be prouder 🥲

I love a loosely Christmas-themed romcom (Love Actually, The Holiday, etc.), but give me the FULL holiday magic experience. I need a festival or small-town business to be saved. I need a Santa-coded man to provide the main character with wisdom. I need at least 3 renditions of O Holy Night.

my favorite thing about having a hospital/shift work schedule is that any time I work on a Monday, it’s actually my Friday, and then Real Friday is followed by a 3day weekend
