I work in theater and it’s super common post show to go out for a drink. I used to love it until I hit menopause. Now alcohol either makes me exhausted or has no elevating effect. So I just don’t anymore. It’s wild to me how instantly it flipped from fun to not worth it.

I use a green physical therapy exercise band 🙃.

😭 It was stolen from the ironclad. Was locked up for less than an hour. 😭

I swear it used to be four writers! Is the dream dinner party shrinkflated now too? I think about the dinner party question a lot. (Shakespeare, Hanif Abdurraqib, Paula Vogel, Saeed Jones for today).

Embrace your CBS era. I’m 55. It’s a quality gateway.

That’s so aesthetic.

I have my employer’s top tier plan that they offer. I need a colonoscopy every two years for Crohn’s disease. I’ve never paid a dime for it. This year it cost me $1,000. Insurance also wanted to deny my remicade dose. Doctors must be exhausted from fighting. I am.
