"We see ourselves in one another's stories. It motivates and inspires and brings hope and life and belief and love and those things are worth it...People are drawn to the truth of a persons narrative."

@emilynclark Little Cat dreams of a rough and rowdy life in the outdoors, hunting every bird and mouse there is. But then he remembers the joy of having human peasants and demands to be let back in.

Between shopping for health insurance (isn't turning 26 just great) and trying to free THIRTY gigs worth of space on my computer to run an update, I may just lose my mind.

I feel the need to say that none of this is to be dogging on my small town, I just find these things funny

But also, SO MANY out of towners have moved in recently & I need a journo friend to check for trends of city folk moving to middle of nowhere towns & do a story ASAP

Found myself on @zillow, as people do, but looking at homes recently sold in my small hometown (pop. 329 as of 2019)

Here are some of my favorite pull quotes from the descriptions of town, please enjoy this short thread 😂

[Marta Payne @mmpayne96]

Also “The Rent Zestimate for this home is $1,346/mo.”

Knowing what my parents charge on their in-town rental property, this is a very high over-estimate. That, or my parents are grossly under-charging. Which is also possible.

I didn’t understand the odd looks I got on my way to work today…until I remembered that I was bringing a small load of house plants to my office 😅

Did I just pass another Mazda owner that was previously a Jeep owner?

This man was VERY excited to wave at me 👋🏼 #jeepwave #mazdawave?

@PaydenShapland The DMV I went to, in Missouri, to update my license didn’t know what a farm permit was either and thought it was fake 😅
