my fave part of Instagram today is the people saying Black Friday is made up and don’t need to buy anything except obviously the essential oils from my MLM which are on sale for Black Friday. PERFECTION.

I had a friend over for lunch yesterday & then we sat outside with tea and talked for hours. 10/10, would do again. The previous tenants of our house relocated to Bulgaria and we got several things from them, there’s zero chance we’d have ever bought this patio furniture otherwise but it’s fantastic

We had a huge rainstorm last night and we’re having another now and it’s been a bit much for my rose bushes so two are sheltering on the front porch and two are in the vestibule.

my friend Rav died in January, her daughter was six. Jenny died in January too, with a 9 and 7 year old. Why the fuck does this camp drop off sign even EXIST? I know most little kids have moms that aren’t absent or dead. But I also hate this so much. They could say loved ones! Or people!

semi-related, my all-time favorite tweet

8:45 PM at *NIGHT*. Live footage of me after 8 PM:

I can’t remember what we were discussing or why I sent jenny this selfie, but I do remember her responding immediately with WAIT ARE WE WEARING MATCHING OUTFITS and obviously yes of course we were

Post-election day vibe in Canada: gently setting your Tim Hortons cups atop the ash and ruins of a garbage can that burned to the ground

jenny was in connections again yesterday. Love seeing her everywhere, wish she was here instead

Jenny’s service was beautiful and brutal and really perfect. It honored her and remembered her with so much love. The next day I drove over the golden gate bridge and into the woods, and that was really perfect too. Hiked for four hours, cried for three, slept deeply, saw the sun rise.

Connections

ok I looked at that post and the group is DEVOTED. Some have a number of Stanley cups, call them their girls and get them dressed every morning. I am def not judging bc of the large number of sweaters my cat owns but it is completely fascinating.
