F*ck your zodiac sign, what was your signature scent in high school?

What can I say, I was a product of the times.

@QEisenacher A Wrinkle in Time. It changed the way I thought about books.

@hankgreen To be fair, if your asshole sucks, you should probably see a doctor. 🤣

(True though, I wish it was easier to remind myself not to give so much attention to people who don't deserve it).

@Weird_Friction Wishing her the best. ❤️ Love to her and to you.

The chicken is named Greg, not my husband. Just for the record. 😉

Please enjoy this baby chicken from the school where my husband works. His name is Greg! 🥺😭

@Dewiwrites One can hope, lol.

Terrible at titling my own stories, but I can title books in The Sims all day!

Starting to think part of the reason I’ve always felt like people are watching me is because I’m always watching other people, lol.

Not in a judgmental way, just curious. I’m always interested in people doing people things.

Oh I love this! Reading Rainbow was extremely impactful for me. I still remember my favorite book from the show: A Three Hat Day by Laura Geringer and Arnold Lobel. I bought it as an adult and read it to my own children. We lost it in the fire; maybe it’s time to buy it again. ❤️

@lhallwriter I prefer paper and pen. I write all poems and micro fiction on paper, and I always at least plot out the basic storyline on paper for longer pieces.

I was the kid genuinely enjoying making outlines and diagramming sentences in elementary school, so I think it checks out.

Yesterday I posted a lighthearted blog about the things that helped me get through college, but also support your local library. >.< https://t.co/G0u18yc3pK

@Gabino_Iglesias I have two modes: check email compulsively or forget email exists. There is no gray area; it's a binary switch in my brain.

Was recommended to me several times, so my husband and I are reading it together.

🚨 Context 🚨

Nicholas Bostic, 25, was driving past the home in Lafayette when he spotted the blaze and dashed inside to get an 18-year-old and four youngsters to safety,

Four siblings, aged 1, 6, 13 and 18, and a 13-year-old who was sleeping over were saved by his brave actions, according to officials.

Mr Bostic says he did not have his phone with him and could not call 911 so he ran to the backdoor and headed upstairs before getting some of the youngsters out.

When they told him that the six-year-old was still inside, he headed back into the blaze and despite thick smoke found her. He then punched out a window so they could escape to safety.

Mr Bostic was hospitalised for severe smoke inhalation and a serious cut to his arm, police said. He has now been discharged.

“The dad said he’d love to take me out for a dinner. They have wide-open arms welcoming me as a part of their family,” he told ABC7 Chicago.

“I’m glad I was there at the right time, the right place. If opportunity came again and I had to do it, I would do it.

“I knew what I was risking. I knew the next second it could be my life. But every second counted.”

The children’s parents, David and Tiera Barrett, had been out on a date night and returned to find emergency vehicles outside their home.

“I literally told him he’s now part of our family,” David Barrett told The Perdue Exponent.

“And he was all on board with it. Once we get settled someplace, we’re going to invite him over and his girlfriend for dinner.”
