@CocaCola and @JackDaniels_US are teaming up to sell premixed canned cocktails. There will be diet options. If those aren't called Jack Squats, both marketing departments should be fired.

Anti-Vaxx grifting attorney Nicole Pearson makes a passionate plea for supporters to show up to protests so that she no longer looks like a clown. 🤣🤡

@YamileSMendez Every time though

[Melanie Bennett @Writestuff_Mel]

@Emily_R_King Not crazy. I LOVE it. All the congratulations! 🎉🎉🎉

[Melanie Bennett @Writestuff_Mel]

My 13-year-old son invited friends over to a movie night tonight, and so far only one of them--a girl--has shown up, and the low-key panic I hear in his voice in the other room as they chat while he waits for the guys is my favorite parenting moment ever so far.

@RosalynEves @KT_NRE Er, Sedoti, I meant.

[Melanie Bennett @Writestuff_Mel]

@RosalynEves @KT_NRE I liked Chelsea Sefoti's As You Wish. It also has an LDS main character and she also handled it well. Plus, it's an interesting premise.

@ashleynicoo My friend posted this yesterday because she's in it and thinks it's super awesome.

[Jen Psaki @jrpsaki]

can confirm my job over the last 5 months did not retroactively get my brilliant sister a masters degree from Harvard, a PhD in public health from John’s Hopkins and decades of published work and respect in the field. She is more qualified than I am to be here.

Is there a non-ableist synonym for blind spot? Onelook has failed me.

Dear Void: I love a great first line. But also, people get a little too neurotic about writing them. I love many books with ordinary first lines.
