My mind is always composing a tersely worded letter.

My family drove to five different pharmacies this morning looking for booster shots. We got to three of these drugstores before they opened, and the lines were already prohibitively long. Y'all, you cannot wait until the last minute, especially if you're traveling this week.

ya girl is BOOSTED and i'm embarrassed it took me so long to do so because i prioritized work over my health.

shout out to @FreeStTheater for curating a pop-up market that included WALK IN vaxxes and boosters. that's how you show up for community!

RE: Sara Ramirez on "And Just Like That," etc.

Yay, people are writing non-binary characters! Boo, every non-binary character is written and portrayed like a smug, all-knowing man.

@s__marshal_ Thanks for pointing out that public education needs to remain a top priority.

I have a store-brand lifestyle with childcare on the cheap end for Chicago. My husband and I are still bracing ourselves for January. We don't know what we are going to do.

Rent: $1690/month

20 years ago, there was no “student loan debt crisis,” only parents, teachers, and professionals advising kids that college was the surest way to secure your future by any means necessary.

@YasminZacaria WOOLY MAMMOTH!!!??

[KT Hawbaker (they/them) @ranch_stressing]

Maybe I've been listening to too much @karaswisher and @profgalloway, but I've gone from being a tender-hearted luddite to a freak obsessed with the chemistry of Silicon Valley. It's a total soap opera. I'm riveted.

Why is it never a *good* thing when my home state and city trends on Twitter? It's always, "Ahh there's a violent and deadly storm coming!" or "The House member of Iowa's 4th district tweeted that immigrants should all be shot in the head!"
