If you're going to call something a "boyfriend" sweater add some pockets. We all know a real boyfriend's sweater would have goddamn pockets.

@quantian1 Saw one today where a guy said that grocery prices were too high then said he shops at the store ranked like… 3rd most expensive in my state (out of 10 ranked). My dude, you don’t need a new president, you need a different grocery store.

@special_boots good to know! if I move over I’ll look you up

[Kristine 🎁 @shesagift]

@special_boots Is blue sky good? Do I make the move? Or just stop with short form socials altogether?

@AshaRangappa_ 100%. I’m digging into this for my own activism. This is probably the biggest problem we’ll face for 2026 and 2028 elections and Dems need to get on top of it asap.

This election felt like a make-or-break moment in the US for women’s rights, human rights and climate change.

My hope for progress on these issues is gone. I really fear for the future of the US and the world at large.

2016 was a shock.
2024 is a knife to the heart.

@kmelkhat I’ve tried to get off their lists for years. Haven’t lived there in a decade. And yet the texts keep coming!

@Taniel Activities that require both hands (aka no idle hands for doom scrolling!): video games, reading, playing with my cats, etc!

@lyzl I also remember when Iowa wasn’t a locked in red state in the way back times of….. 2008 and 2012. 😂 Would love to see Iowans go blue again!

@LauraGMitchell I used to run here all the time!! You’re making me miss DC 🥹 But love to see you rave about it when you go out there!

@goodreads Love this UK cover for A Study in Drowning. Held out for it rather than buying the US hardcover.

@howie_hua 60 is 40% so 120 is 80% and the remaining 20% is half of 60 (aka 30) so 120 + 30 = 150.

@michaelpmalone @GrandmasMara Took 85 mins but I got through eventually!

[Kristine 🎁 @shesagift]

@michaelpmalone @GrandmasMara Yep. 70 mins and counting for the half 🙃

@goodreads An Imperfect Offering by James Orbinski

@goodreads I challenged myself to “detox” from streaming for a month bc I was burned out from always having to find something to watch. Replaced screen time with reading in January and it stuck! Now I’d rather read than browse endlessly for something to put on.

[Kristine 🎁 @shesagift]

@timewarpoets I literally took a week off work to decompress and read a buttload of books?? This is the ideal???

[Kristine 🎁 @shesagift]

@LauraGMitchell This is good to know, thanks! I hope they get a better bike option sorted out.

[Kristine 🎁 @shesagift]

@LauraGMitchell Is this for the “one week” detour from the Greenway? 🫠
