Aggressively grumpy old people delight me. No sarcasm. I absolutely love crotchety old folks especially when they get mad at reasonable things 🤣

Sometimes I think I could live off grid then I watch a survivalist on YouTube and realize I’m made for hot showers and memory foam everything.

Maybe it’s two days of leftovers talking but is anyone else so bored with their food they don’t feel like eating? What’s your “break out of a rut” meal?

I frequently forget about posting on socials until I do something stupid like take two extra strength mucinex by mistake, then I have a desire to share my mishap with the void.

Tell me how old you are without telling me. I’ll go first: I remember when you had to start dialing the area code along with the 7 digit phone number.

The man standing behind me in this coffee line is so close he’s hit me twice just from fidgeting. Sir, it’s ok to leave some room for Jesus.

Here’s what I don’t understand about businesses supporting billionaires. There are 3k of them worldwide but billions of people who could be middle class with living wages. Billionaires won’t sustain your businesses long term but a robust middle class could. Why tank your own customer base?

There is very little that’s as excruciating as trying to explain literally anything on the internet to your boomer parents. No, mom, I don’t know where your Facebook event is or why it isn’t posting.

Shout out to the married lesbians from rural Georgia we met at the Backstreet Boys concert in Vegas this weekend. They detailed, with glee, how much effort they put into vexing their MAGA ex-husbands 😆 Stay safe, ladies. And remain a nuisance to those men.

Sometimes people in movies who hate each other have to be on the same side and I’ve never understood that emotion more than having to side with my friend’s almost ex husband because shes doing something crazy.

The house full of single guys behind our house uses our driveway to access their place. This means we get to see every single girl they escort out. There’s never been the same one twice.

My 14 yr old shih tzu has dementia and keeps forgetting he had dinner. He barks incessantly when he thinks it’s dinner time. After 2 dinners, 3 bowls of water, a trip outside to do his business, and some doggo cookies he finally got some special peanut butter. Shout out to special peanut butter.

I’ve had a weird day. My husband’s paycheck bounced. I got in a fight with an old white lady who said really racist stuff to my friend. My city is under a tsunami watch from a Russian earthquake. I need an edible and a nap.

I get irrationally angry when I leave LA and things are more expensive at the place I’m visiting. At least at home I expect to be ripped off, but how dare this small town charge more for gas than the Shell at Fairfax & Olympic.

Me, standing in the grocery store with a list of Caesar salad dressing ingredients in front of me clear as day. “Ah, yes, the sardines I need to make this dressing.” 🤦🏻‍♀️ In case anyone’s wondering, sardine Caesar isn’t that bad. #caesarsalad #whatdidido

I’m LOVING this trend of playing the songs you listened to in high school for your teenagers. Pretty sure the kid is traumatized after hearing me sing Fantasy by Ludacris 😆

My 17 yr old asked for the parental restrictions to be taken off her phone so we made a deal: get up before 11am every day (even if you don’t have work) and do one non-screen related activity. This is day 3 of getting a 10:45am text saying she’s awake 😆

We had a blast watching #Kesha at the #KiaForum last night. I can still dance through a concert as long as I have sensible shoes and a bottle of water 😆
Kesha walking down stairs at her Los Angeles concert carrying a mannequin head. She’s dressed in all white with platform white over the knee boots. The mannequin head resembles her. Kesha at the front of the crowd grabbing onto fans during a song at her July 5th concert at Kia Forum.

Can someone explain to me the point of laptop free zones in coffee shops that allow laptops? They’re always empty while people wait for a seat in a place they can work.

Just finished editing the 3rd draft of a yet to be picked up Slasher series. Some of you are brilliant writers & need to query like it. Any horror/slasher agents/publishers out there looking for a new writer? This author (not me) has this trilogy already finished. #booksky #slasherbook #newauthor

New Yorkers scream out each officer’s lawsuits against them for excessive force and more upon their city, right to their faces while protesting.

Today my mother told me the story of how her first husband was murdered. I think I scared a lady in Trader Joe’s when I said, “they didn’t find his body for a week?!”

I live a few miles west of #dtla and my friend lives downtown. There aren’t any riots, there’s no looting. With the exception of a few people, protests have been peaceful. Don’t listen to the false narrative coming out of the White House. #losangeles #la #protests

i don’t know what to say about the images coming out of LA right now. but in case you need it, here’s a reminder that out in the streets, only water goes in your eyes. flush with water. take your clothes off when you get home & take a cool shower, wash yourself with dish soap a few times. godspeed.

LA - if you’re out protesting, cover your face and your tattoos. Even if your phone is off, the GPS is always on and tracking you so leave it at home. Stay. Safe.
