@MerryWhitmas WHITNEY!!!

@misskubelik My best friend was dating a 27-year-old for awhile. We were 16 and our friends were uneasy but we also thought she was just mature for her age?

I look back on that like 🚩🚩🚩🚩!!!!

@misskubelik I found my Ravenclaw pin today, the first Ravenclaw pin I'd ever even SEEN (remember how early on it was just G/S merch?)

I remembered how delighted I was to receive it as a gift, and now, that's literally the only reason I'm keeping it. Because he knew I'd love it and I did.

@sarahjeong I googled this since I used to live in Macomb and...Google does not disappoint.

@misskubelik I hate it. I genuinely hate how she has taken something that meant so much to me and made it into something that is a source of pain.

(I'm mostly off Twitter right now, *gestures at the world on fire*, but logged in to make sure my Hogwarts house is out of my bio.)

@misskubelik That ad makes me almost incandescent with rage bc they show them using Lysol on *everything but the box* so they don't even answer that ridiculous question adequately.

@misskubelik Packages get opened outside, boxes tossed immediately, wash hands.

Same for regular mail, although we haven't gotten much of that lately.

@misskubelik As someone for whom food banks were a lifeline in the past, THANK YOU.

@LadyKatKat_09 You're a sweetheart, Kat. 💛

Even perfume samples in magazines can bother me a bit but this was just...so excessive.

The house still smells of it even though I took all the packing materials out to the trash immediately, and the offending item is outside to air out. 😂

[Ruth | BLM 🖤 @BookishRuth]

If you're sending something to someone, PLEASE don't douse it in perfume before dropping it in the mail.

A lot of people are sensitive to scents. I woke up today feeling fine, now I have a scent-triggered migraine from opening the mail. 🙃

@yourtitakate I think it's a misguided (very misguided) attempt at empathy. But all it does is trivialize an experience that we will never be able to fully comprehend.

@randomhouse 2 - within easy reach of the end table for drinks/snacks.

I’m fighting for @MattBC and @CosetTheTable, and all disabled Americans, because no one should be forced to choose between critical benefits and marrying the person they love.

@StrangeAThon I've read five so far. Hoping to add another 2-3 if I can. I hope you're feeling better better now. 💜

@misskubelik @KerriMPR I have done a lot of work to overcome it, work that continues to this day, and it's awful to realize just how different my views could have been at a much younger age if my *Christian school* hadn't pushed those books at us so hard because of "family values".

[Ruth | BLM 🖤 @BookishRuth]

@misskubelik @KerriMPR How do you read something like that, be told that it's good by virtually every adult in your life, and NOT internalize it?

I will never recommend those books to kids. Never ever.
