Millennial 30s: excitedly texting friends about your recent discovery of foam rollers, only to get "I know! Aren't they amazing?" in response. Every. Time.

So we all just have chronic back pain, then? Cool cool cool.

This sounds like a joke, and I wish it were.

I can't remember the last time I actually saw a wire hanger. So of course, I stumbled across this on my way to the store today.

This universe has a cruel, sick sense of humor.

Morning, everyone!

Quick reminder that the "landlord special" can be funny at times, but it can also be downright deadly.

Welcome to the outlet that just came out of my kitchen wall, in a building with 35 units.

All because someone tried a cheap fix with a spare screw.

@izzybeth If it helps I get that knee jerk reaction for both Wisconsin and Michigan.

Having lived in Boulder, though, Colorado is totally fair.

[Olivia Ernst @fyronflode]

Yeah, that about sums up my night.

1/ Can we talk about how problematic Alito’s logic is? Alito reaches back to the 17th c. English Common law to provide a precedent for his decision, but the 17th c. judgments he cites only made abortion a crime if it happened after the child “quickens” or moves (about 20 weeks).

Also: discovering that you secretly have those natural waves you always wanted. I spent 31 years convinced I had straight hair!

Is "writing doula" a viable career path? Because yes please.

Living with a historic theater buff is pretty cool

@matt_boot_ SO MANY LEVELS OF TRANSLATION ON THE FLY

Coney's first birthday, first beach day, and the first day of spring. Perfect.

[Olivia Ernst @fyronflode]

Could have let it go a bit longer but we're off to the northlands tomorrow to spend the weekend with our respective dads, so it's time to fridge it.

[Olivia Ernst @fyronflode]

Well, if this wasn't just the prettiest local cabbage.

[Olivia Ernst @fyronflode]

@BlackrocksBrew, this brings me indescribable joy.

[Olivia Ernst @fyronflode]

Also you wanna know what sucks? Continuing to find more of these when you're unpacking books post-breakup.

[Olivia Ernst @fyronflode]

Haha just kidding, don't trust something this perfect.

Instead, trust in queer found families, like ex girlfriends you haven't seen since Denny's a decade ago, because they'll take you in when straight men let you down yet again.

Sorry to the person who liked this tweet today.

Find you a partner who not only casually gets you birch trees in the middle of the night, but also leaves little notes hidden in key books around your apartment when there's a period of separation.

[Olivia Ernst @fyronflode]

Some things change, some things stay the same. Meet Coney.

@meganlcook @RickGodden I will also I add: I made a great friend in @gdsotoole because of what he was reading at a bar. He was also kind enough to interact with us/give us his table, thus opening up the opportunity to chat.

[Olivia Ernst @fyronflode]

@RickGodden I don't know the tweet you're referring to, but as a woman who only goes to bars alone if I have a book to hang out with/hide behind: screw anyone who shits on anyone who uses a book to avoid unwanted social contact.
