@heyyou i have those dreams so often! High school was the worst.

I’m middle-aged and am STILL happy to be done with school because I don’t have to think about homework or tests.

@ceorl Same! Animals, no problem. All day long.

I just heard a story on NPR about cuddle parties (strangers meeting up for non-sexual cuddling).

Would you do this? Y/N

A woman in the grocery store pulled down her mask to complain to me, a stranger, about the price of a bakery counter cake and about the fact that the store we were in had higher prices than stores a few towns over and about how it, and everything else, was Biden’s fault because he started everything.

I just wanted my seven layer dip stuff.

@Oma_Trisha Viel Glück!

GINNY & GEORGIA more than anything else makes me certain that I’d have been 10x the emotional mess I was in middle and high school if I’d had to do it with social media and the immediacy of texting. Holy no thank you.

Two days ago, a local Army National Guard unit deployed to the Middle East. Just a reminder that though the media no longer finds it newsworthy, kids/partners/parents/friends are still watching people they love leave for a year or more.

@ColtSTaylor I watched the whole thing. Thank you.

@Flyingdutchman696 They don’t care so much about people.

@yogapaddlerun Same! I’ve been doing strength training regularly for almost two years now and want to keep it going into my eighties so I can *always* go up and down the stairs in my house.

@Sandywb14 @WeThePeople One where women are made to have lots of babies and those babies can start industrial work nice and young.

One of the growth moments in my life was recognizing that a certain level or type of psychopathy - and apathy - exists in some people. It just is. This stopped me from wondering, "How could someone kill their whole family?" I'm not sure if the absence of shock and confusion is a good thing or a bad thing.

@VenomousHeroine Excellent and fabulous! Thank you! How should I send it?

Still excited about this, now just 20 days away from publication! Eek.

@VenomousHeroine VH - A while back you said this book (mine, above) sounded interesting, and based on that and on your feed, I have to ask (I must!): Would you be interested, by chance, in receiving a free e-copy of THE MEETING TREE in exchange for an honest review on Amazon and/or Goodreads around the time of its release? The release date is Feb. 27.

@LnzyHou I know 🤦‍♀️
