Made besties with a member of the waitstaff at my Miami hotel. His sister is an international supermodel, his grandpa is an Auschwitz survivor, and we both LOVE Carolina Herrera.

I can't believe it's already been one month since you came into my life and changed it forever. I've never known true love like this, or felt so complete. Here's to you, and all the adventures yet to come.

What a time to be alive.

I learned this 2 hours ago, and as of 17 minutes ago I’m cleared to announce: Girl Bandits is an NYT Bestseller. Number 4 in paperback nonfiction.

I’m still…comprehending.

Shareholders shocked to find that cutting millions of jobs means fewer individuals are able to purchase their product/services, could not have seen this coming.

Excommunicate their asses.
BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV is set to effectively disband Opus Dei in the coming weeks.

This would be the most sweeping internal reform of his pontificate — and a dramatic continuation of Pope Francis’s legacy.
NEW: Pope Leo Set To Break Up Opus Dei
If Pope Leo does indeed approves a plan that effectively dissolves Opus Dei’s structure, it would be the most significant internal action of his short pontificate to date.

People talk about the 300k+ Black women who have lost their jobs as if they are statistics for their research projects and I’m here to remind yall, we are real ass people feeling the effects of it. In our homes, quality of life and well-being.

To those of you in this boat with me, I see you. 💙

I’m tired. Because I got up at 4:30. But also because my government is doing its best to enact a fascist overhaul of our wholeass system and its rough to be reading chat transcripts where my peers openly stan Hitler while releasing a book about Jewish resistance during the Holocaust

What a time to be releasing a book about 20something women who shoot Nazis.
One of the craziest stories I've seen in a long time. If you think Trump and his administration are extreme and depraved, just wait until you learn about the young guns who are positioning themselves to take over the reigns in the next few decades
