Happy launch day, #AmongtheLesserGods ! Kinda like an official bday, so I got it a hat. Pick it up anywhere now, no white gloves required.

@SylvesterTurner YES. A city that has its act together prioritizes community life: it facilitates gathering and engagement with the city itself. Especially when when it’s hot and staying inside, alone, is too tempting.

I have a peach tree dropping leaves. The internet’s top reason: overwatering. The solution? Stop watering. 🤦🏼‍♀️

My Colorado soul can’t process this information.

Should come to no surprise to anyone in Houston, but the month of May has been rainy... but how rainy?

Through the 25th, the normal precipitation in Houston is 3.93", and so far Houston has received 11.05"... a whopping 7.12" above normal! 💧

So we’re saying we can literally land a rover on Mars on the same day we can’t keep the lights on in Texas.

@tqtyson ❤️ Happy discovery when I got my power back on!

I’m joyous, relieved, in grief over what she’s been through, and enraged that a president who said no was all it would have taken all along. https://t.co/UiSpheSwWh

What kind of hypocrite writer would I be to not pass along writing this perfect? A big one.

@anthony_mamone @kh_culver @sdransomspeaks I mean, @BachelorABC —on their own timeline, with a cast of 30—can’t spot somebody with racist social media or an arrest record before putting them on national tv, so...

But I think I may be using Twitter more in the future.

Carry on, please.

@AnandWrites One in-law Western religious conservative family were reluctant and then more enthusiastic Trumpers. Now are all Team Biden. Loved ones didn’t do it, tho; Trump and George Floyd did. They could no longer deny Trump was making everything he touched worse.

@mlparentcoach @Nicole_Cliffe I went down the scrollhole on this thread last night, and I laughed to tears for a solid 5min when I got to yours. Had to come back this morning and thank you. Sure, social media may have broken humanity BUT THERE’S THIS.

So thanks, Barb. You were a delight, and made the hold worth every minute. Plus you did a bang-up job of exposing the culpable institution of Texas government to scrutiny.
