I paid off my whopping $10K of student debt years ago (thanks, scholarships!). I still want everyone else's student loans forgiven because giving a shit about total strangers is just basic decency.

Was at a bar alone yesterday when the bartender said, “Hey, check out this text from my sister!” He showed me his phone and it said, “Do not, under any circumstances, get into a conversation with the guy sitting on your right.” Men, if you are in a position to do this, DO THIS.

I cannot overemphasize the emotional benefits of matching people's energy and knowing when it's time to peace out. This is a subtweet about something ultimately inconsequential that has been a tremendous learning lesson reinforcing so much of what I've learned about boundaries.

Totally missing the plot of the movie because you're on IMDB reading about the movie.

National Stuttering Awareness Week kicks off next Monday, so I am *extra* salty about this bullshit: mercurynews.com/2022/05/02/har…

if you’re new to heavily policed street protesting, please remember that even if you know you’ve done nothing wrong, you should not talk to the police. they only want one thing and it’s never in your best interest to talk to them.

Everything is fucking awful and only getting worse! Find joy when you can.

i hate to sound like a nerd, but be mindful of the things you are saying online. i have sat through sentencing hearings & watched people have their posts read back to them. your post may not be a crime, but it can affect how other conduct is charged & sentenced.

Do not disregard the cathartic benefits of group chats where you can all yell about the same things and validate your mutual rage and frustrations. #blessed

Everything sucks but finally celebrating two awesome people's engagement with other awesome people makes it so easy to forget that we're living in the darkest timeline for, like, six whole joyous hours. (Day-drinking also helps.)

Goddamn right Maureen Zahn 🦇 and I made sure we supported the first unionized Starbucks in Jersey today.

Retweeting myself on this first day of National Stuttering Awareness Week until I have the time and energy to do this right. #peoplewhostutter #stutteringawareness
