.@noraborealis I made a handy cut-out-and-keep guide for people who are so desperate to see smiles wherever they go.

@ppppp1245688 @JessieNYC Ultra rich PRC kids aren’t going to PRC universities. I think they often don’t even take the Gaokao cos they just show up as mediocre [this system has its own problems including rich people can game it to an extent, but I think it’s telling]

@dieworkwear oh his poor armpits, I’m really worried about him

[Nel Norris @NelNorris]

@aliyapabani I like where you get near the end and he says “I have no wisdom to impart”, and uh… yes I can see that! But don’t worry, you got the self pity and the pointless jibes about your child down pat 💛

@ask_aubry She updated that she’s staying with family and her plan is to be several states away when she tells him they’re breaking up.

@theobromic_ ✨love that!!!✨

[Nel Norris @NelNorris]

@theobromic_ One of my friends started doing front squats because one time reracking a heavy bar he did a kind of… worm body-roll movement to fling it the short distance into the rack using his neck/shoulders. It went badly.

[Nel Norris @NelNorris]

@ask_aubry She confirmed in the comments she’s leaving him and moving out

[Nel Norris @NelNorris]

@adamm_apple maybe it’s the same people who barge onto lifts before people have got out? I’m trying to back out the lift with a pram and I have to give some auntie trying to shove her way in a death glare to let me by

[Nel Norris @NelNorris]

@theobromic_ Weirdly one of my favourite acting moments is when hazmat BD Wong asks Lena “what did it want?”, and for just a second she just gives him this look because it’s such an irrelevant question

@chivalricmaiden @lorettabagg I love that Singapore is right at the back

[Nel Norris @NelNorris]

@BexWords @_feralfurby I think some guys are genuinely clueless — at least I like to think so for my own sanity. I have a useful anecdote to share whenever I encounter someone who really doesn’t understand

[Nel Norris @NelNorris]

@ask_aubry Uhhhhh

[Nel Norris @NelNorris]

@justJ_37 @hell_belles @notcapnamerica The comment about warm bedsheets is extra funny to me because I much prefer sleeping alone so I can switch sides when I get too hot 😅 When I share with my husband there’s no such relief and my son does a tiny vitruvian man impression so I just lie awake and overheating

@clhubes Pictured: the moment I thought maybe this back pain that had been intensifying in surges all day wasn’t normal back pain and I might try downloading an app to measure the surges

Cat was right, it was labour (in my defence my water didn’t break)

[Nel Norris @NelNorris]

@clhubes It’s getting complicated now the baby can crawl. He desperately wants to be friends. His overtures are unsuccessful in no small part due to the enthusiasm with which he approaches them

[Nel Norris @NelNorris]

@feederofcats Oh are you supposed to stop when they do that? Cos mine prods my hand if I stop

[Nel Norris @NelNorris]

@BlondeHistorian @coffeespoonie I actually didn’t get this, maybe because I oiled the belly twice a day. I still got the visible movement when the baby kicked

[Nel Norris @NelNorris]

@ZJemptv Maybe it’s foreshadowing that they’re after Google next — I googled lots of fetish terms out of curiousity and I’m pulling the ladder up behind me

[Nel Norris @NelNorris]

@CodingEtudes @ZachRoseWriter @sapphixy her face is very expressive
