If ever there was the perfect book to get kids to turn from social media and read right now, it’s Parable of the Sower.

Okay I’m obsessed with @LoveisBlindShow but whyyyy do all the men say “girls” instead of “women”?? Like they’re all grown ass WOMEN.

I can’t stop thinking about Bright Young Women by Jessica Knoll, so I wrote about it. 🤍

@The_Acumen Nope, I do it too. My husband says I hate sleeping and he’s right. But once I’m asleep I loooove sleeping! I just don’t like going to bed…

@GovParsonMO @Missouri_NG Please stop the execution of Marcellus Williams NOW

@GovParsonMO please do the right thing and stop the execution of #MarcellusWilliams before it’s too late

Oops I started another story without finishing the 3 in progress 😌

And it should be that day of your period where you don’t wanna go ANYWHERE

[Emilee Honey 📚 @emhoneyreads]

There should be at least one Friday a month that is a “read in bed all day” day, where you don’t have to go to work, and you get to just eat snacks in bed with a good book.

@14karatGEM Oh no. I think I need to change my OWN life bc I’ve never read Anne of Green Gables 🫠

I didn’t love Jane Eyre but the memes are solid

[jessica bates @seejesswrite]

@ChelseaHodson (I wrote them over about 3 years though, not just the first year!)

[jessica bates @seejesswrite]

@ChelseaHodson Naps, or in the notes app while breastfeeding 🫠 it was rough!! But after a year it got a little easier…sort of. I managed to write a book of motherhood poems! https://t.co/EkvX1FELBH

@clhubes My hospital births both had the tiniest towels (like hand towel sized) and gross showers so I would have enjoyed being at home because I felt so gross! I liked having the nurses though for sure. Would have been cool for them to be at my house!

@cockspit Stopped shaving my legs 7+ years ago and every year I’m happier about it but also baffled at how much time ppl are spending on shaving
