I just took a DNA test turns out I’m 100% that 30 year old in the club who will hype reggaeton from 2004 (DAME MAS GASOLINA) but immediately turn my nose up at mumble rap that all the youths are jamming to these days 😑

I know there’s still a long road ahead to tackle the immense inequality, systemic racism, everything still plaguing our country. But I never really trusted that we’d reach the other side of this nightmare presidency, and the immense relief I feel is what I need to honor today.

I stepped away from Twitter after the last election/inauguration because the negative echo chamber that my feed became, while COMPLETELY justified, was not a healthy or productive space for me.

Today, seeing the first COVID vaccines arrive at UW-Health, hearing the news that Wisconsin’s electoral votes officially went to Biden, and hearing that all of Trump’s lawsuits keep getting thrown out... I feel like I can breathe again for the first time in four years.

@knobstoeleven @TomatoPies Looks like they're sold out, but I'm looking at Lilliana's and Food Fight now! Also found this https://t.co/VfpAW6r4Tt

Madison, where are we getting Thanksgiving dinner takeout this year? Casetta and L'Etoile are sold out, but I see Heritage is still available. Any other ideas?

Stereotypical conversations after 5 years of marriage: “Hey, I just loaded the dishwasher. Before I start it, do you want to tell me that I did it wrong so you can stuff more dishes in?”

(Spoiler alert, half of the top AND bottom racks were empty after I reorganized 🤷🏼‍♀️)

@Steeennaaa dah, so sorry to hear this! They've always been great to me but I haven't spent a lot of time there recently. I've done their mobile app ordering for takeout a couple times and that's it.

I just made avocado toast for lunch and then said to myself, "You know what else I could put on top of this that would be delicious and healthy? Cottage cheese." Which I think really exemplifies my current status as a thirty-something millennial

@andrewjneumann Hot counter take: everyone SHOULD still be outraged by the president, and the fact that he’s been so consistent just makes it worse... but if everyone is like me, they’re just too exhausted and jaded and unsurprised to do anything productive with the outrage at this point 😑

This is easily one of the best things I’ve read recently. Equal parts sobering, hopeful, and fascinating. https://t.co/kQt1y9Lh5a

This afternoon, I helped @stratocaster prep our garden beds by pulling up dead stuff. Our neighbor commented, “Wow, you guys are ambitious today!” Which is passive-aggressive neighbor-speak for, “I have literally never seen you both out here doing yard work at the same time!”
