It's as though every day something happens that would have seemed so absurd, dark, and obviously wrong in 2012 it belongs at the beginning of a YA Dystopian novel.

Turns out, anyone can get a master's degree. I should know, they gave me one.

"History will not look kindly on the court's decision today, nor should it," Justice Sonia Sotomayor said, dissenting from the majority, which upheld President Trump's travel ban. https://t.co/DwjY49YFNC

When dogs lick you, they're kissing you. When cats lick you, they're tasting you. #stillcutethough #catsvdogs #teamicantdecideanymore #kittencuddles

[Melissa Shadden @MelissaTheMess]

Really proud of my decision to unfollow everything on facebook that isn't @tasty or @beCraftsy

[Melissa Shadden @MelissaTheMess]

What is life but a constant and recurring realization that people are the worst?

[Melissa Shadden @MelissaTheMess]

It's not that I don't have a rebuttal, it's that I don't have the energy to argue with you.

I'll believe the future has arrived when I can print out a webpage without hearing my printer audibly moan. #thisistwoparagraphs #whyareyouprinting23pages?
