My dad once called me in the middle of a meeting to inform me that @BrunoMars was a quarter Jewish.

Thanks to The RRomp online magazine for publishing my very personal essay… I mean, sure, why not just put it all out there. 🙈 therromp.com/the-library/her…

If anyone is watching the @SmartLess documentary on @StreamOnMax - my husband and I were at that ill-fated second show in Boston. Watching its awfulness get the spotlight on HBO is redemption for that terrible event! #smartlesslive

"Who is that creep wearing pajamas at 3 pm and walking slowly through my front yard?" I demand as I look at footage from my @ring camera. Well, turns out it's me. Every time.

Ranjeev is not only my state rep but also my neighbor. Our neighborhood is full of @michiganstateu alumni and parents whose kids are currently students. This one hits very close to home - literally. #fuckthoughtsandprayers #gunskillpeople
Today, we begin to collectively heal from the horrific events which transpired, tomorrow we work. My official statement regarding the Michigan State University shooting is below: Fuck your thoughts and prayers.

…and next week I’m doing my first-ever figure-skating competition. It involves a sparkly leotard and about 2 mins of a @QueenWillRock song.
Today I took my first-ever ice-skating lesson, and yes, I am 42 years old. I usually only like doing things I'm good at, and this was certainly an exception - but it was ridiculously fun and I only fell twice. Can't wait for next week! #watchoutbeijing #winterolympics2022

It finally happened: someone asked me where the library was in Spanish. I’ve been training for this since high school.

The guy in front of me at Meijer has a fifth of @CrownRoyal and three rotisserie chickens in his cart. That’s it… that’s the cart. I feel like there’s more to this story.

My mom was a public librarian and I’ve always felt at home in #libraries (probably because I spent so much of my childhood in them). On light-meeting days like today, I go there to work. Can’t beat fast Wi-Fi, warm fireplaces and great views💜

I don't believe in curses, but I do believe that billionaire owners leading double lives imperil their sports teams, and that 27 years ago, Jerry Jones fathered a child with a woman not his wife, and it's been 27 years since the Cowboys won a Super Bowl. cbssports.com/nfl/news/cowbo…

Dear @lagunitasbeer - I’m the world’s top consumer of your hoppy refresher and recently it seems to taste less hoppy 😢 Am I imagining things?? PS - this drink has been key to my 3 years alcohol-free! Thank you!

I don’t understand how people wake up at 4 or 5 to start their days. Do they just go to sleep at 8?
