@rebeccamakkai Me, as their real estate agent: "Could we just make this place look a little less... murder-y?"

@ThoughtsOnMom1 @clhubes If it's an alley on location in NYC, there's one that pretty much every production uses.

this, right here, is why I respect and admire @vcastillo630 so much. She shares *so much* from painfully lived experiences, and it's made me a better person. And she's *honest* about the cost that has on her. #UXRConf

@maggijmitchell @djadubz This is everything!

@clhubes My kid has done that too. Nobody warned me! Now I know real reason why parents' car floors are littered with Goldfish.

@petersagal My son and I love these, too! Simon Helbig was a great squirrel. BP was also Chick Hicks in Cars 3, liked him better in the role than Keaton.

@rebeccamakkai Big congrats to you!!

@rebeccamakkai MONSTERS, all. That is worse than the people who give one-star Amazon reviews for a product when the review makes plain they did not read the assembly instructions, or grasp basic physics.

@laurenthehough Devastating and gorgeous. Those small details are so huge. Reminds me of my grandmas and their mothers. Thank you.

@AITA_online My toddler loves a bilingual board book from Hazy Dell Press called "No me comas, Chupacabra" Now you can call it cultural enrichment and language development. 😀

@rebeccamakkai Have you heard of Cowgirl Creamery in West Marin? I have no idea what their financials are, but they sold to a Swiss company. I'm sure they did well. (And damn is their cheese good.) https://t.co/Zxyc7715kG

@rebeccamakkai We are all Anna nowadays.

@clhubes Ooof I feel this as well. My son turns 2 this month and I have no idea what kind of celebrating is safe or when he can have other stupid normal shit for the first time.

@kendraffe One of the nurse assistants (who was wonderful in many ways) used to bring me a giant cup of 1/3 apple juice, 1/3 cranberry juice, 1/3 OJ over ice and it was THE BEST DRINK EVER as I tearfully tried to pump after an emergency csection while my baby was in the NICU.

@KatieSwindlerUX Carolyn Chandler @chanan should be on this list

@albanvillamil We Are Ladyparts captured my heart. Technically it is a joint British production, but that just sweetens the deal for me.
