The contours of L.A. have softened and changed this spring, @danagoodyear writes. “The bare, dry khaki-colored hillsides are furred green—like an old friend with a luxuriant new beard. Is that really you?” https://t.co/xZlPGRTj7E

"Poverty isn’t simply the condition of not having enough money. It’s the condition of not having enough choice and being taken advantage of because of that." A Pulitzer Prize-winning sociologist offers a new explanation for why poverty persists in America. https://t.co/i3MMRdDQWz

France would enshrine the freedom to choose a "voluntary termination of a pregnancy" in its Constitution under a proposal that President Emmanuel Macron backed on Wednesday. https://t.co/HESGx4hIBz

Although… I can’t NOT picture Jo as Winona Ryder. It’s just etched in my brain since childhood. I relate to that character so much.

Just watched Little Women. This was my favorite book & movie growing up. Still gets me every time 🥲.

Watched The Romantics on @netflix last night & it’s so good! @SmritiMundhra captured the sociological nuisance of Bollywood perfectly. Even if you don’t watch Indian films, this doc series is a must watch.

Indian cinema shaped my upbringing, and is in my DNA. My latest series is a nostalgia trip through 50 years of Bollywood history told by three generations of the industry’s biggest stars and icons. Here’s your first peek at THE ROMANTICS before it arrives Feb 14th on @netflix!

Went to a matchmaking even last night & realized I’m now officially in cynical b*tch territory. Oh well, it was a good run at optimism for a while.

Being able to acknowledge your own toxicity, not blame it on anyone else, and self-correct, is how you vibrate higher and expand.

@satansleftnutXO @mindykaling Word!

[gurkibasra @gurkibasra]

People need to stop vilifying @mindykaling - her stories are HER story & that’s ok. They don’t apply to everyone/ there are various shades of brown & she’s just telling one of them. Humans aren’t dichotomous, she isn’t saying all Indians are like her. 🙄

You deserve a calm love with someone that's good for your mental health and nervous system. Someone who is your safe space, your best friend, and always has your back. Someone who naturally soothes your mind, body and soul.

Stop gaslighting yourself into the narrative you’re lazy when you’re really burnt-out and exhausted AF from being in survival mode for so long.
