My phone just auto-corrected 'especially' to 'Dostoevsky' because when you're cultured AF like me, you replace adverbs with 19th century Russian novelists.

My daughter’s friend sent her a tutorial on how to do their chemistry homework and my daughter sent back a tutorial on how to do heatless curls, and honestly, this is the kind of women supporting women action we need.

Thanks for the detailed instructions on how to exit the doctor’s office, but now I need you to repeat everything since I was concentrating on having the facial expressions of a model patient while you were talking.

Shout out to the guy loudly conducting his Zoom business meeting in this Starbucks sans earbuds. We all suspected Jim was going to screw up the templates, and now we have confirmation.

Uh oh, I’ve procrastinated too much and now I’m really behind. I wonder if procrastinating more will help.

I love how Scrooge asks if all three spirits can visit him at once to get it over with, as if he’s not getting up every hour to go to the bathroom anyway.

It’s just not Thanksgiving until a celeb posts a video wishing you a happy Thanksgiving from their multi-million dollar, monochromatic home to yours.

I've never been in a stampede but I've gone to the grocery store the day before Thanksgiving, so samesies.

Can’t wait for Campbell’s to release their new gruel line of soups. 😋

I loved Wicked, but the scene with Fiyero and Elphaba felt like

Good advice for Thanksgiving and for life: don’t argue with people who drive parallelograms.

Saw Wicked today with my whole family- including my husband and teenage twins- and here’s my hot take: we all loved it and had a great time.

My reaction to a heart-wrenching, remorseful ballad in my 20s: Omg sooo romantic and broody!! *swoon*

My reaction to a heart-wrenching, remorseful ballad in my 40s: Yeah but what'd he do though.

Slow down, MTG- we can only fit so much material into our Thanksgiving MAGA relative roasts!

"“The first time I caught up to them, I could tell that they already knew who I was,” he told me when we first spoke on the phone in late October. “They had seen me before, so they thought they were just going to speed away. I was like, ‘Ha ha, bitches, I got a new scooter!’”

Inspirational post: May you have the confidence of the man with the most punchable face in politics, launching a presidential campaign no one wants

Blasting Phantom from your room when you’re upset is the most theater kid thing ever. Think of how much better off the world would be if someone had just introduced jazz hands to this man at a formative age instead of real estate and fuckery.

The important thing is not whether the Trump performing sexual favors for Bill Clinton thing is true. The important thing is that we all pretend it’s true, and that someone asks Trump about it every day.

Them: What if Bill Clinton is in the Epstein files, libs? Then what are you gonna do???

Us: Probably make a bunch of bomb ass jokes idk

She couldn’t really give you an opinion about what’s been going on guys, she hasn’t been following the news lately.

A German business contact just thanked me for my "prompt and efficient response," so I'll be riding that high for a while.
