why did my coworkers phones go off before mine. did they get the premium microchips

asked my mom if she was going to see Barbie and she acted like I asked if she was interested in huffing paint

my boyfriend’s new apartment has one of those absurd “smart” ovens and it has a “food facts” feature. every day it presents you with a new fact about food. here’s what we’ve learned so far

thank you for putting together a memorial. i’m not in chicago but would love to pitch in for food/venue costs if you need it

every time I wake up at before 8am I feel brave and strong and superior, and then I log on and realize everyone else is also up

people clapping after the little feminism speech in Barbie: fine, whatever

screenshot of a NYT tweet announcing that Bill de Blasio and Chirlane McCray are separating, but still living together and dating other people.

I also have some news: boyfriend has agreed to open up our relationship (but only to Bill de Blasio)

I thought booking a bar trip would be a good study motivator but instead of studying I am spending 80% of my time dreaming about being in paris

I had brunch in a completely empty restaurant on saturday and couldn’t figure out why
