There's a family sitting across from me at the boarding gate - mother, father, teenaged daughter, 5yo-ish daughter and 4-month-oldish baby - and they're all FAST asleep, the teenager and parents leaning on one another, dad with baby in his arms. It is so adorable. 🥰

So, seeing #TaylorSwiftTheErasTour on the first night in Jersey was the most epic spiritual experience of my life. Turns out I've peaked at 39. ✨

Finally, a confluence of the two phenomena that have become my entire personality, which I didn't even know I was waiting for.

Just found these in my handbag - forgot I'd bought them at a market in DC (yes, maybe there was lunchtime wine involved). "I don't care" cat is my whole entire mood.

just torpedoed some friendships after a "boycott Woolies" message landed in the friend WA group - you think you know someone, and then they reveal how THREATENED and VICTIMISED they are by rainbow apparel and (their words) "minority groups". 🙃

PSA for those who shop for small people: I just spent R1k on 11 items on Cotton On Kids online - they've got a crazy sale going. (Including a JLo shirt for 11yo and AC/DC items for 8yo. 😆) (disclaimer: I don't buy fast fashion for myself but do for kids, because, weeds.)

As usual, New York Times Games is teaching me new words. I imagine Taylor Swift would've had a harder time rhyming the answer for "Ricochet" in today's puzzle, though. youtube.com/watch?v=OWbDJF…

I checked in on my friend who recently started writing fiction after wanting to for a really long time and I was like, actually this is the most any of us can ever say

BANYANA BANYANA MAKE HISTORY. They’ve made the knockouts in one of the most dramatic, entertaining, insane games I’ve seen. African champions are now going down in history again 😭😭🥺🥺🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

Guess I gotta get another flight to North America soon. 🫶

"There was, in her voice, something intuitively pleasant and genuine and good, something that implies happiness or at least the possibility of happiness." I'm in tears.

“I’ve been the archer” • Travis has a signature arrow pose that’s almost identical to Taylor’s choreography during the archer on the eras tour

Yesssssss. 💫 #1989TaylorsVersion

I absolutely *murdered* Lover in 2019 when I was going through a rough patch, and today is the first day I'm listening to it beginning to end since - and I'm like, every track is just 🤩 (except ME, obviously.) I mean, this is the album of Cruel Summer and The Archer.

sometimes my husband makes lunch for me and it's never what i'd make for myself - like, today, he made me FOUR tacos. i ate them all at my desk and Peep Show's "FOUR naan, Jeremy? FOUR?" has been in my head all afternoon. youtube.com/watch?v=feJlRD…

ICDIWABH.🤌

A phenomenon. 🎇
