so much clothing is marketed as "conversation starters" but as an introvert, i want "conversation enders." no more talking. let me go home.

Writing to my representative to vote yes this week to release the Epstein files

Let's go girls

being able to choose how many children you have and how far apart they are born is a privilege not all of us have

chatted with someone who wanted a role on my team. they had the audacity to ask me if I want more children, gold star to me for not responding the others died. people who feel comfortable asking questions like that live on another planet

it feels good to not give a shit about Amazon prime day

I still remember sitting with a friend after the Kavanaugh confirmation in stunned, sad silence. You see it happen in your social circles, and want to believe the justice system would keep it from happening on a large stage. A harsh reality of growing up.

After watching multiple friends be dismissed and not believed after sexual assault, after watching multiple men with credible SA allegations achieve positions of power, it felt GOOD to see Cuomo get soundly defeated.

Browsing @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's feed and cheering him on from Indiana, the first time I've read current events and felt hope for a better tomorrow in quite some time.

No, but ordering for fall vaccines is happening now so places could speculatively order less. It was already so hard to find vaccines for the under 5s.

What options exist for those of us who want to still vaccinate? Is vaccine tourism a thing?

Poverty is a policy choice.

🚨House Republicans just passed a bill that would disenfranchise 70 million married American women.

Under the SAVE Act, women who took their spouse’s last name and don't have an updated passport or birth certificate would be turned away at the polls.

Recently finished a two week international work trip. MANY questions about Trump. But also, one of my Spanish coworkers, on American sports: "I like most American sports. But lacrosse...what the hell is going on there?"

I wish people hated fascism half as much as they hate feminism

Religiously applying sunscreen before driving to the airport, in the dark, where I will fly until it is also dark when I land

They should be handing out free trials of those meditation apps on your way out the door of the BMV

At the BMV, explaining my identity was stolen and I needed them to change the address on my vehicle registration to mine instead of the thief's:

"Well, are you sure it wasn't your husband who updated it and didn't tell you?"

"Husbands should be listed first on titles, double check his address"

I've spent 8 years thinking, impressed, about how one time I saw a man running a marathon while reading a Kindle. On track for a sub 4 hour race. For the first time, tonight I thought about it and realized: audiobooks exist.

Moments I want to remember: "I'm happy!" Says my daughter, as she scrambles onto her high chair to eat a cookie still warm from the oven.

If there's even one person like me (loves tea) on the inside it's all getting leaked

That's incredible, I wish I'd known 2011 Liv

Today's news was the push I needed to delete my Twitter. I hesitated because of my long history of the platform. It is (was) a time capsule of who I was when I joined almost 15 years ago. But I don't want to be even the tiniest cog in Elon's machine. Buh-bye.

I was in a wedding a couple of weeks after I miscarried. The photographer, trying to get the group of bridesmaids to laugh during photos, joked "who's getting pregnant tonight?"

It Ends With Us in court

I don't post my kids' faces on socials but I have an excellent photo of my toddler sobbing (wouldn't give her an orange) that fits my 2025 energy perfectly

Telling my husband about all the comments I'm not making in the group chat that would stir the pot, followed by "canonize me"

It turns out I'm an over-ear headphone person. They give off the unapproachable vibe I'm looking for

When watching holiday rom coms, remember: behind every small town, there's a heavily armed police force 💕
