“Madam Facilitator” I like cooking, travel, history, ridiculously large brooches, old buildings, romance novels, baseball, and cats (she/her)

I should’ve put 🧵 on this but forgot so let’s try this again

In 2017 I decided to make taking a square of TP from Salisbury cathedral a family tradition

Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

Genuine ts&ps to the parents managing their kid’s meltdown at not being tall enough to go on the ferris wheel at the zoo

I had to manage similar back in the day but never when the zoo was filled with my coworkers

A very important thread. When I was probably no more than 10, I saw this picture of the woman known as Harlow in the Philly Inquirer. A little babygay, I was shocked that such a glamour queen could live in my hometown and even more shocked to see her described as "a former man."

This right here. Inject it directly into my veins
my favorite thing about a dual POV enemies-to-lovers is when they each have baggage that the other person is perfectly suited to understand and have empathy for and maybe help them through it but they’re too proud to reveal it so they and the reader just SUFFER waiting for the reveal 🥰🥰🥰

You can’t no true Scotsman Christianity because there are lots people who use religion as a weapon, but the people who do their best to practice the Christianity that helps people are rarely leading with I Am Christian

By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another
Over on the Facebook, you can bet that whether it's ICE brutalizing immigrant toddlers, or the US military mass-murdering civilians in international waters, every person cheering it on makes sure that you know they are a "Christian" in their profile. Every. Single. One.

I mock the English a lot but the truly bizarre child name very much has a US champion. EVen British rock stars didnt turn their kids into Moon Unit and Dweezel
I’m 44 years old and until this very day I sincerely believed “Ringo Starr” was what it said on his birth certificate

like it never occurred to me to doubt that a pair of British parents would name a child Ringo
We just accept it because it’s always been this way but ‘Ringo Starr’ is a bonkers thing to call yourself when the other guys are John, Paul, and George. It’s like having a band where everyone else uses their real name and then the drummer goes yes please call me Crackers Creamsworth

Let's be very clear that one of the major effects of the CDC no longer recommending various vaccinations is that it becomes much harder for folks who still want to be—or want their children to be—vaccinated to get their insurance providers to cover those vaccinations.
