@MayorWu Your speech last night at @huntington was lovely, and it gives me hope that Boston has a mayor who values the arts.

@thatangrymick Whatever the vibe is, I love it

@tiarafying I feel this ❤️

The @Delta gate agent just announced it was her first day and she’s very nervous and it’s important to me that you know she’s doing a great job.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

We have been sounding the alarm about this for a long time.

Some may want to go after the messenger, but we simply cannot make promises, hector people to vote, and then refuse to use our full power when they do.

We still have time to fix this and act. But we need to be brave.

[Amanda Aside @SassyAsides]

Cops complaining that “bad cops” make their job harder are like men who complain that women being scared of men hurting them makes interacting with women hard. YOU ARE NOT THE VICTIM HERE.

@annefrances if the rumors are true and you are filming in my hometown, I volunteer as tribute to tell you all the best food places #importantinfo #wehaveicecream #hometownpride

Wild.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Why even be in Congress if you don’t believe in doing your job?

Just quit and let someone who actually gives a damn do it instead of acting like a useless piece of furniture when babies are shot with AR15s that we let teen boys impulse buy before they can legally have a beer.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

There is no such thing as being “pro-life” while supporting laws that let children be shot in their schools, elders in grocery stores, worshippers in their houses of faith, survivors by abusers, or anyone in a crowded place.

It is an idolatry of violence. And it must end.

[Amanda Aside @SassyAsides]

@tiarafying Nope that’s, like, super basic. And anyone who has no interest in Lizzo is not worth knowing. And sour cream on French Toast? Clearly a serial killer.

@adeleBlim Your speech at Emerson commencement was GREAT (and very funny). Such a great mix of positivity and realness. You crushed it and I’m so glad I got to be there to see it!

I know there was a time in my life I was not a graduate student. The memories are faint and fleeting, but I know they are true. Someday I will live those memories once more.

Talking to my parents:
Them: Look at this job! It would be great for you!
Me: I know! Unfortunately that’s just not doable for me right now.
Them: *explains why the job is perfect for me*
Me: Yes, too bad I can’t take it.
Them: *Lists inaccurate reasons why I can*
Me: 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

@SA_Schott I love you and I know you can do it!!!

Whenever I meet a person of color for the first time, I’ve gotta remember not to say "the privilege is all mine”

[Hari Kondabolu @harikondabolu]

I plead the 5th.

@SA_Schott This is so wholesome 😭

[Amanda Aside @SassyAsides]

Me in my youth: Why do these people keep buying haunted murder houses?! I get that it’s cheap but it’s so not worth it!!!

Me now: $80,000 for a house?! The ghosts are invited to every family meal.
