By their late 30s, all successful women belong to at least two group chats named β€œthe coven.”

In a quest to make my life more analogue over the next four years (and hopefully longer), I got a fat stack of books from the public library, and let me tell you how sexy that feels

My friend texted me today that there’s no point in living unless you have a crush on someone or a package on the way and damn if that isn’t true

People love to blather on about how we have to abandon CA when something climate-related happens as if anywhere in the world is safe. Climate disasters now happen absolutely everywhere and there is no escaping it. So.

Ugh, hope it ends soon. We were there last weekend. So psychically challenging.

The millennial urge to leave early or not go at all.

People say millennials’ identity is formed by witnessing the fall out from 9/11, or graduating into a recession, or raising kids during Covid, but it’s actually formed by the 3 VHS tapes your grandparents owned your entire childhood.

A version of the kermit vs darth kermit meme where good kermit tells the online academic that they should grade, while darth kermit tells them they should eat more pie.

Once again must I remind you to GET A LIBRARY CARD.

Libraries feel like something about which we could very easily be saying, β€œRemember that place where you could borrow books, for FREE, and return them when you were finished?” And kids would say β€œWhat?? No way!” And yet there they still are, despite everything we’ve become, existing. Remarkable.

I haven’t tweeted in so long I’ve completely forgotten how or why I’d want to. Which is probably for the best except I missed all my little online friends! Yes, you!

I recommend Chloe Angyal! She has a literal PhD in this and has written two romance novels. I’m not sure if she’s on here but she’s easy to find elsewhere, and I have her details too.
