I want to live in that world!

I said the non-existent word “saliable” several times in a presentation when I meant “salient.” I still visibly cringe every time I think about it.

“By the early 2000s, women's share of jobs had grown to just under half. It's hovered around there since…”

To the privileged, equity feels like oppression.

Crambone!

Ugh. I had an internet sales person come to my door. She stated by asking me about my ball cap. Not, “Oh a Cubs fan,” but “What’s the symbol on your hat?” Nope. No thank you. Make your pitch so I can politely decline. Don’t ring my bell and try to make small talk.

I’m sure I could come up with others, but this is a decent start. 7/7

Umm… it’s also a story about a strong (childless, I presume) woman leading a multicultural, multinational, multilingual coalition to cooperatively solve a problem with science.

Oh so many, but I gotta go with Batman 1989.

@thepwhl.com watch party at The Bistro in Bloomington, IL. Cheers to women’s sports!

I've been a Minnesota fan since before the league actually started. They are a fun team to watch! Also, they have better uniforms, in my opinion, so if you're going to buy merch... 😉 In any case, welcome to the PWHL! It's a blast!

You want to connect with voters? Don’t be generic.

The thing is… I liked One Battle, but Sinners is just a far superior film. It’s not even debatable.

YES! YES! YES!!!!

A forecast showing thunderstorms, snow, and temperatures fluctuating from 63 degrees, down to 10 degrees, and back up to 73.

Now that is a Midwestern March forecast!

Yeah… the marketing didn’t match the target audience at all.

I actually wasn’t interested based on the trailer, but I LOVED this film!

This movie was so damn good.

Sure would’ve been nice to see both Millennials and Gen X included. Is it possible that “traditional” views soften with age because of life experience?

Timeline cleanse.

Boom.

@ghweldon.bsky.social I learned this was a word from you!
