Don’t waste your precious breath explaining that you are worthwhile.

Hanging out here tonight feels like drunk texting an ex. I’m just feeling vulnerable and I don’t know where else to go you guys!

[Sara @ScarlettOSara]

Thank you, dead twitter, for this place to quietly howl these banalities into the void.

My son just asked me what heaven is. After I explained both the literal and metaphorical meanings, he said he thinks it’s a really bad place.

Why?

“Well, when she gets there, the stores are all closed…”

I know this sounds like one of those twitter kid stories where somebody’s toddler starts quoting Foucault or whatever, but I swear on my life this just happened.

Also yesterday my husband said that Ang Lee was the Yo La Tengo of directors, and I’m just so sad that I can’t give that line the amount of appreciation it deserves all by myself.

Hi I taught like three and a half hours of classes today with my dress unzipped like four inches because I forgot to ask my husband to get the rest of it before I left the house.

I’m such a gold star tomboy that I only had one neglected Barbie that my poor mother got me when she still thought she could turn me into a proper girl when all I wanted was a Masters of the Universe Slime Pit ™️ and I’m here to say that movie *destroyed* me.

The sheer number of hours I have spent listening to the indigo girls, watching the bbc pride and prejudice miniseries, and getting talked at about Stephen malkmus…

My 4-year-old has been marching around the house singing Stand by REM to himself and I’ve either won or lost all the gen x mom points.

I will pay literally tens of dollars for someone to go through all my old social media accounts and figure out where all my friends have jumped ship to and then make accounts for me that follow all of them again.

[Sara @ScarlettOSara]

@soquoted What the hell, why not. Still have one to spare?

Deepest darkest fantasy at 13:

The Traveler from Star Trek will come and take me away from this shitty town and teach me how to reach the stars

At 42:

I’ll meet a new friend who’s not way too much or trying to fill their downline and we share maybe two common interests.

[Sara @ScarlettOSara]

Even peeking through my fingers at home will never give me enough emotional distance.

[Sara @ScarlettOSara]

I figured out the only way I’m ever gonna be able to watch The Last of Us: on somebody else’s airplane seat-back tv.

[Sara @ScarlettOSara]

I’ve been slowly rewatching The Prisoner and listening to @NotaNumberPod, and @ctklimek making a running bit of saying The Lion in Winter when he means Total Recall makes me feel less alone in the universe.

Your glasses fogging up the second you step outside the Tampa airport is just Florida’s way of giving you a hug.

Bowen freakin’ Homes getting turned into bougie condos is never going to stop blowing my goddamned mind. I visited a lot of students in a lot of projects back in the day, but that place was something else.

BREAKING: Atlanta Housing secured the $40M Choice Neighborhoods Implementation Grant from HUD to realize the Bowen Homes redevelopment.

Here's some background from late last year: https://t.co/2ae7fqgklE via @AtlCivicCircle

Every child in the Minneapolis airport children’s play area looks like the result of a nazi breeding program.

In a hurry? Let it sit in tepid water in the sink for an hour or so.

[Sara @ScarlettOSara]

So thankful that my mother’s only regressive boomer opinions concern truly horrifying techniques to defrost meat.

[Sara @ScarlettOSara]

Just let two pounds of ground beef thaw on the counter all afternoon! It’s cool!
