@kaylasansk I hope this tweet’s been going well for you. I’m writing one right now, and we thought to hit “reply.” Maybe you know someone that might like to see it themselves, if not yourself?
@RaeHoffmanJager My girl name was Winifred, but I had 3 boys. Aurora could be considered strong and feminine- it’s got a “roar” in there, anyway. Clementine? Margaux? Odette? Imogen?
@ThisCorywicks Yes! A kid I worked with at the time was there getting a birthday present for his brother. They hid in the backroom with employees. Was it Lion’s Eye era?
I took my kids to get their haircut today, and our discussion with the barber was around how we knew people/narrowly missed being victims of a mall shooting in OR nearby a decade ago; it’s become casual conversation. FUCK THIS.
this conversation occurred many hours before we learned of today’s mass shooting, FWIW, because she told me she was seeing Jason Aldean soon, and I asked her if she’d been at Mandalay Bay.
@albatrocities_@Compajerro@_A_Nope@ask_aubry I didn’t see it that way since she offered to buy him another pizza, and he seemed uninterested in any attempts she made to make it right. always better to find out you’re just not compatible that way a month in than a year at least!
@IanKarmel I loved this book as a kid, then re-read it as an adult and took away entirely different underlying messages (naturally). If it’s one thing teenagers are great at, it’s yearning for something that feels just out of reach. I’d toss white savior-fest To Kill a Mockingbird though.
