12 yos are in such a liminal space—not quite kids, not quite teenagers, wanting still to be both. They are beautiful and heartbreaking in equal measure. And hilarious and exasperating, also in equal measure

I thinks she means job description, in this context. “Don’t just send me your job description, tell me what you REALLY do”

I live in his district, he’s the WORST, and yet I have to reluctantly applaud him while also yelling “you’re the worst!”

My kid’s school had one this year and the emails asking for parent participation got increasingly frantic, up until the day of the event.

Going to a Bible college turned at least one friend atheist, because they actually studied the Bible in depth and she was like “wait a minute, this is not what I’ve been told” and then it all came crumbling down after that

I still finish washing my face by splashing it with cold water because Seventeen told me it closed the pores so more dirt couldn’t get in

Part of the challenge for me was actually having to eat more, or at least more frequently. I just got SO BORED thinking about what to eat and when and oh it’s been x hours I need y protein and fat or whatever. Sympathy and solidarity!

Currently, Japan before World War II (like, right before, not all of history) and then also Real Housewives? I contain multitudes 🤷‍♀️

Literally every time I hear the word sporadically, I say (usually but not always under my breath) “I hope not sporadically” from Clueless

Omg, I don’t know the situation but knowingly exposing someone to an allergen is horrific (outside of something like allergy shots, I guess)

I had a friend whose kid has an incredibly severe peanut allergy. They could basically only do Disney vacations because that was the one place they were guaranteed an absolutely peanut free environment everywhere they went.

Literally the first thing to give me hope this election season is that in my dark pink suburb in a deep red state, Harris has raised 10x the money and has 7x the number of donors. Maybe my neighbors aren’t so bad! (Except for you, Bob. You will always be on my list.)

The people calmly working behind the counter at this airport Starbucks during lunch rush hour are actual heroes

When my kid was in the NICU, the nurses had to tell us to go home on New Year’s Eve. “You have the most qualified babysitters possible, go home,” they said. I felt such guilt! You’re doing a really kind thing.

The problem with watching professional pickleball is I turn into a white man and become mildly convinced I could win against the pros.

I would absolutely read and enjoy that!

I will read or watch any Jane Austen retelling, and also anything where she’s a main character like, solving mysteries or some such. Quality is not a consideration.
