Remember the heartwarming final scene of #JoJoRabbit wherein JoJo and Elsa dance slowly to David Bowie’s “Heroes” in celebration of young love and the fall of Nazi Germany?

I recall it fondly at least once a day.

As a rule of thumb, it’s never ok to pass judgement on someone for how they choose to take look after their well being — mental or physical. We know ourselves best.

This should go without saying, but here we are.

Re: Simone Biles

The brain is an organ, and our mental health is worthy of EVERY ounce of attention that we give our physical health — more at times.

Perspectives like these (pulled straight from a FB friend’s feed) perpetuate the shame and isolation plaguing so many young people, like Simone, going through mental health crises. It’s unacceptable.

Just realized that in “Here You Come Again,” Dolly Parton describes what we, in 2021, would call gaslighting.

Which raises the v important question: what man do we need to CANCEL immediately for gaslighting America’s sweetheart?!!

This is devastating.

@jennyhan Haim’s “Working Out Together” playlist on Spotify is a masterpiece.

@NatalieBassie Truly! It seems I’m finally getting my priorities straight :) hope you’re doing well!!

@NatalieBassie just saw Moonrise Kingdom for the first time the other day and TRT is next on my list! Not sure how I slept on Wes Anderson films for so long. They’re phenomenal!

My dad (a 59 y/o mech. engineer) asked me to make his presentation for a retiring colleague “more fun”

One Michael Scott gif later and he is laughing his socks off.

How do I turn adding memes to baby boomer work presentations into a career? lmk.

@glukeperrin Couldn’t agree more!

Breaking my unplanned accidental twitter hiatus to say that I saw Cider House Rules for the first time yesterday and I can’t stop thinking about it. What an incredible film!

[Becky @BeckyBarker_]

@jordann_perry_ I think that takes the cake 😬

[Becky @BeckyBarker_]

I love Jesus, but there are just sooo many things wrong w this. Stay far away from #ChristianFacebook this week.

[Becky @BeckyBarker_]

@glukeperrin this all too much 🤭

The cure to perfectionist procrastination tendencies: a title that gives your first draft permission to be flawed.

Because, well, first drafts always are. “Naming it and claiming it” helps me kick start the writing process.
