All I want is a seaside cottage, a captivating novel, a comfortable reading chair, the distant rumble of thunder, a pot of tea, a crackling fire, an emotional support owl, and a plate of freshly-baked scones.

The world may be quite turbulent at the moment, but I think we can all take at least some solace in the fact that libraries, cafés, bookstores, bakeries, museums, and Oxford commas exist.

Those two days of cricket on Friday and Saturday were so good. I reckon someone should invent a format that goes for something like 4 or 5 days. That’d be ace. #Ashes

It’s not enough to simply thank our veterans for their service.
Millions of them rely on SNAP and the ACA.
Many struggle with PTSD and worry about access to mental health services.

Here once again to say getting books from the library feels just as good as buying books does. Same arms full of the same books. Same nice little walk through the same aisles. Same brain tingles too. You can even do it right from your phone while you’re on the couch watching bake off. Seriously.

Trump filed lawsuits over jokes, tweets, and news articles, but not once over any of the countless allegations of child rape. I feel like more people should mention that.
