i think that whoever said “nothing tastes as good as skinny feels” has not tasted the satisfaction of telling your physical therapist “it’s definitely not an underfueling issue”

@svershbow welcome <:) this stuff is so hard to avoid! annoying advice but get used to reading the labels on all the dish soap/detergent/hair products/body products you come across. beware public restroom soap :( Ecos for dishes & 9 Elements for detergent have been my go-tos. good luck!!!!

Sorry Been MIA,
What IS My Problem

[marissa lorusso @mrsslrss]

I am not a "formally" "trained" "print" "journalist" but I think about this every day of my life

[John McDermott @mcdermott]

The curse of being a formally trained print journalist is knowing the difference between an em dash (—), an en dash (–) and a hyphen (-) and having to see normies misuse all three, all of the time.

My texting teems with so many ellipses…..because for everything one says, there is an equivalent universe of the unsaid……

UNESCO should safeguard it as Intangible Cultural Heritage

[The Boston Globe @BostonGlobe]

Is the Boston accent — a dialect that has minted mayors, sabotaged movies, and fueled a robust industry of gift-store mugs — dying? Here’s what a linguistics professor told the Globe’s Beth Teitell. https://t.co/Bw573W8AVU

you don’t get the earnest yearning emotional complexity of “dancing on my own” without the winking cringe commitment to the bit that gives us “sexistential.” sorry if you’re just learning that now :/ or can’t handle it :/

[marissa lorusso @mrsslrss]

@mossbinch yeah

[marissa lorusso @mrsslrss]

i manifested this. in case anyone was wondering.

[marissa lorusso @mrsslrss]

Marissa marked safe from despair 🥲

[marissa lorusso @mrsslrss]

robyn features are great ofc but a new robyn album would actually be so huge for my mental health

[Christina Casillo @chrisrosecas]

do you or does someone you know work in food/bev PR, event planning and production (internal or external), or in high end hospitality/guest services? I'd love to buy you a coffee or even shadow you as I look into a hard pivot in 2026. philly or nyc!

[marissa lorusso @mrsslrss]

@Emily_Sundberg i've been out of the loop of the music scene since moving away years ago, but i've long contended it specifically is underrated—a city with so many young people cycling in and out is bound to produce interesting art & culture imo 🥲

[Emily Gould @EmilyGouldNYmag]

Had a very successful conversation starter with my in-laws last night that you can also use if you’re in a small town in the Northeast: “Which is the best Dunkin in town?” Vote evenly split between “the closest one” and “the one on Main Street”

[sebastian castillo @bartlebytaco]

yes.. yes!!!
