After seeing several people not get Hilary Duff tickets, I am feeling very smug about only having 786 people in front of me in the queue this morning. I prepared. I was ready. And I was rewarded.

I am not on Letterboxd because I simply don’t want to, but here is my Letterboxd top 4 in case I’m ever on a red carpet and they ask: -(500) Days of Summer -Penelope -Back to the Future -Shrek (These choices will impress no one and I don’t care.)

My prediction for how The Summer I Turned Pretty will differ from the book: Belly & Conrad do not kiss before the wedding. Belly makes the active choice not to marry Jeremiah instead of~*the drama*~ breaking them up. She will not immediately end up w/ Conrad. 1/2

As the ppl in my life started having kids, I’ve made it a habit to always congratulate the parents on their child’s first birthday for surviving their first year of parenthood. It’s arguably a bigger accomplishment than whatever that baby has been up to.

Hot take: Living in the city isn’t as hard as people say it is. Some people just don’t like city life, and that’s totally fine—but they should admit that instead of blaming the city itself.

Oh, wow. To go from no books on the Bank Street lists to TWO in one year is truly amazing. I'm actually speechless in wonder and gratitude.

I’ve decided to have an NPC summer. I don’t want to be the main character. I want to pop into people’s stories with a funny one-liner and then sit in the background with nothing going on behind my eyes. That sounds like true peace.

Daredevil is filming at the diner on our block, which I guess makes sense since it was also the subject of an episode of Kitchen Nightmares—you’d have to be a daredevil to eat there!

I won’t share RFK Jr.’s lies about autism. It’s disgusting and dangerous. If he had a shred of decency, he would apologize and resign. Autistic people contribute every day to our nation’s greatness. To every kid with autism, I’m in this fight all the way for you.
