Love teaching, writing, wine, movies and books. Wine was made to be drunk and wine glasses were made to be broken. (she/her) #wine #blogger #amwriting

When Bernie becomes President, he will have to jog, because that's the rule when you're President--you jog. Obama jogged, Bush jogged.

But Bernie will wear tiny shorts and a headband, and he will look like a Muppet running.

@HopeRehak and Kathryn Hepburn transforms into a Maleficent character that wants to steal their beauty.

Between objectification, being ignored, and good old-fashioned sexism, it is like we are doing extra work than our mates, for free.

They talk about the "pink tax," the idea that women pay more than men for upkeep of appearance and maintenance.

[Carol Maskus @carolmaskus]

What if the "blue tax" would be an and-then-some extra payment that men pay for shared costs, since women have not only their job but immense emotional labor at said job?

You know you're not a sports fan when every time you see "Boston Celtics" in print, your mind says "Boston Keltics," the actual Gaelic pronunciation.

It's funny people think there's no significant difference between conventional and organic food. Go take a can of Raid, and spray it all over your face. Or just don't. Which would you rather do?

[Carol Maskus @carolmaskus]

@HopeRehak Well, they find each other, nd condense their negativity, making it less spread out among the population. It’s like radioactive decay! 😌😌😌

@HopeRehak My favorite is when you call out a male leftist on something sexist and simple like mansplaining, and he says it's impossible for him to do that, because he's a feminist!

@HopeRehak @PetreRaleigh And I hope you’re doing better! Sorry—somehow the gravity of that tweet eluded me.

@HopeRehak Or be homeless!

I like when Kenneth tells Liz Lemon she needs to slim down, and she says:

hey. I am thin.

to which he says, inhaling and smoothing his suit:

not New York thin.

@HopeRehak Special coffee, like hazelnut, and extra on those days! Dry shampoo so you can get ready in 20 minutes. What is “wfh?”

[Carol Maskus @carolmaskus]

@HopeRehak Like Plato!

@HopeRehak Dress up as daphne!

@HopeRehak When life gives you lemons, make lemonade! When life gives you a pandemic and a meager cupboard, turn what flour you have left into a meal!

@RandallGrahm Hey...are winemakers considered more essential than health food store workers? Still waiting on my second vaccine. Happy birthday!

Grandpa humor is neither incisive nor witty. For the last time—you do not have my nose—I would be bleeding profusely from the face. Now please leave me to my Sartre—I’m 16 and the real joke is this life.

@HopeRehak Studies show...unfortunately, that smart women find more peace with stupid men, because smart men tend to be competitive and unromantic with their smart girlfriends.
