The venn diagram of the ‘genuinely curious’ people with their ‘honest question’ and the passive aggressive people with their regular ass question is a circle.

@EmilyGouldNYmag Of all the raw gorgeousness, can we take a minute to acknowledge this line - “it also turns out that the kids won’t eat dinner no matter who cooks it, and now we get to experience that frustration equally.”👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

@shondarhimes brilliant that instead of Anthony consoling Kate hiding under the desk you wrote charlotte consoling George hiding under the bed. 😘 #QueenCharlotte

@mikescollins My 6yo just cracked up when Zahn kissed cardboard lady. 🤣 I guess that’s what we’re going to do with our Sunday afternoon now 🤷🏽‍♀️

@WMM_Series Taking a long time to finish as I trail into thought every couple of pages. So much is resonant plus transportive. ❤️

It’s amusing that Bollywood blames their ‘kitschy’ 80’s on South Indian influence which at the time was making some of the best movies that still hold up as a gold standard. #theromantics

Cappuccinos and awesome company at the local library (so glad we caught up @JyotiGopal 🥰) and now diving into this stash. I love free Saturdays. (Thanks to finally giving up on dragging kids to piano classes. They mutinied 🤷🏽‍♀️.)
