When I get out of deadline mode and ask someone for coffee and they forget to respond or take ages to reply I'm so grateful and happy because I get all the points of trying to be social without actually having to leave my house, like omg what a relief

Texting my charity CEO best friend about which picture I should put as my grid cover photo as I copy edit on the sofa in my pyjamas. She's probably at a board meeting or something but this is a crisis that needs attending

I hate when people try to discuss my characters' starsigns with me. That's none of my business and I don't care. Stop projecting!!!

I feel like every chic person in their 30s goes through a phase where they want to revamp their wardrobe with Uniqlo basics

Literally blocking anyone I see who uses "skeets". You can't be trusted, you scare me and I am strict.

The reason I really dislike Twitter is exemplified by a woman proudly posting about her PHD, misogynists and anti-intellects bashing her, and people defending her against them by saying that her study is actually worthy, and it's like is this where we are? Defending intellect and curiosity?

What's so interesting about pulling back from social media is refueling or regaining the ability to think without the expectation of validation or agreement

I need a place to talk about my worrying attraction to Dan from VEEP. Like it's disgusting and I know that. However

The thing about having sisters is that even though one second you literally want to wring their neck, you kind of have to get over it because you need to share a joke that only they would get /laugh at something your parents did. No one can elicit rage like your sisters though

I love it when I go on a hot actor's IG and it says "married longtime girlfriend" under "personal life". That's even hotter. Commitment in the jungle of Hollywood. Sexy.

If anyone cares I've been watching VEEP and I cannot believe it took me this long. It's exactly my shit. I love a British-American comedy

Watched Wicked today and had to come back to this. The vibe shift of that movie once he shows up cannot be overstated. Also, I had to actively remind myself that I have things to do today or else I would have been buying another ticket then and there.

I need everyone to know that WICKED is simply not one of those stories where you're like "let me read the book first". Read it after. Trust me 😭.

I find it so funny when people are like, “I like Lin-Manuel Miranda, I just wish he weren’t so corny.” Like, what do you think the #1 requirement for a composer of musical theatre is.

One of my fave things about myself is how quickly I forget names of men I have spoken to in the past. Bring a name up& I will legit go "who?" with no shade intended. They don't exist to me.But I remember the name of a girl I bumped into four yrs ago at a Soho House DTLA who has a "denim company"

I think it is absolutely fair to say "could never be me" about some situations. Some things you just know on a psychic level, the decisions you are capable of making and your general standard of discernment. If someone says "never say never" that is their personal problem

Sadly everything I am tempted to tweet on Twitter is a reaction to a very insane thing. Like everything is stupid enough to irk me. That's why I know it is no good!! It attempting to hold emotions and thoughts hostage

Imagine liking someone and then discovering they avidly unironically cape for Drake. Not even a "i like his music" type thing but genuinely believing he is in the right philosophically and hip-hopically lmaoooo

I'm glad the movie highlighted how flip floppy and useless as a sister that Nessarose was...didn't even wave or hug her sister goodbye just crying over a munchkin..never defended her sister once...just pretty and selfish!!!
