Sometimes you spend a whole four hours with someone, and they literally don't ask a single question about you. A remarkable commitment to either respecting my privacy or extreme self involvement

I want to do my laundry. I don't want to walk up and down three flights of stairs, ten minutes each way in the dark, past a bunch of drunk smelly people, to do my laundry. You see my dilemma

Remember, if someone tells you that your dream of having a bookshelf with a rolling ladder is "unrealistic", they were never your friend to begin with.

Recently a client told me how their dog had their balls cut off, and said 'now he's a they/them.' I was like, 'um. I guess we can't really ask dogs how they identify, can we.' And then I kinda just let the moment sit

The other day, a friend asked me who I was hanging out with, and it inspired me to create a litany of all the people I've loved in my life and let me tell you what a mood booster it was even to think of those I don't speak with anymore or who are dead. This world is filled with extraordinary people

Do not carry a cold beverage in their presence. Politely decline any drinks or sweetmeats they may offer. Keep a plain iron nail in your left trouser pocket and a sachet or paper twist of coarse salt in your right shoe. Enter and leave your chair moving clockwise. Follow up with a thank-you note.
