@schenk_amanda Well this is unacceptable

14 months ago I had to evacuate from Oxford High Schol when a fifteen year old opened fire and killed four of my classmates and injured seven more.

Tonight, I am sitting under my desk at Michigan State Univeristy, once again texting everyone “I love you”

When will this end?

I guess the Bobcat identity dies hard because I had to do a double take wonder if why this sign at Micheal’s said “OHIO.”

@oliviastowell I relied on outlets where I could (JCrew Factory, etc), secondhand, trading with friends, and a lot of H&M since we didn’t have a Target in town. Look for basic solids and dress them up with colorful accessories. Sale rack at White House Black Market was usually a win, too.

@kirk_rylee @oliviastowell When I grad school, this is basically exactly what my friends and I would do! We’d do a tour of each other’s apartments, and the owner had to sit back while others made outfits they wouldn’t have thought of. As the parade continues, you traded out pieces from others’ closets.

@katypearce None of the major pattern companies sold a pattern for them, which was surprising and super annoying—but we had an Isabella and Mirabel over in our house anyway! Saw at least 5 other Isabellas and one Mirabel at her school.

@its_just_danny It soaks up the oils so it doesn’t look dirty when you don’t have time to fully wash it. It’s a bandaid, not hygiene :)

@ishak No 🧢, this was low key the GOAT. My students would’ve straight up yeeted me but you can pull off this drip

@AlainaMcCartney Oooh, never forget those camp songs! I am re-discovering their magic for road trips. We did “Boom chicka boom” for half an hour yesterday and it’s perfect.

So grateful for my years singing in Christmas caroling choir, for now I can mindlessly sing my kids to sleep while scrolling Twitter bc I have those words memorized (several verses each).

[Stephanie Tikkanen @stephtikkanen]

@schenk_amanda The only appropriate responses here are: “No, YOU shut up!” Or “sorry, I’m allergic to your bullshit.”

@MichaelBlight SO. MUCH. SOLIDARITY.

An add a defiant 2 year old and it’s a recipe for disaster.

People complaining about student loan forgiveness are giving off real “childless person mad they don’t get a childcare stipend” vibes….

@MichaelBlight We found out Wednesday that our kiddo’s teacher has the same first name as me and she must therefore be EPIC
