I grew up very poor. I excelled in school and enjoyed much of it, but there were two particularly hard days, every year: the first day of school and the first day after Christmas break. Those are the two days that poor kids feel the poorest. Please teach your kids to be kind.

I’ve taken several extended hiatuses over the years, but this weekend I plan to permanently shut down all of my twitter accounts. That shouldn’t (and won’t) matter to ā€œthe twitterverse.ā€ I get that. 2/4

Uff. This is a gut punch. ā€œTo be honest, we barely had to adjust our hospital schedule [because gun violence is so common]. Politicians need to Do Something, because doing nothing hasn’t worked.ā€ — Dr. Jason Smith, Chief Medical Officer at U of Louisville

I’ve been on Twitter since 2009. I actually taught @justdemi how to RT, back when that involved keystrokes, rather than a button. (Of course, she and I had different handles back then. The only thing that hasn’t changed is that she still doesn’t know who I am. šŸ’”) 1/4

I saw a lazy Susan at TJ Maxx and said oh I want that! My daughter asked why and I said so I can put dinner on it and we can spin it around and grab what we want, it reminds me of my childhood, your grandmother had one. She said so you’re gonna put our doordash orders on it?
