Me, a person who follows at least 200 cat subreddits, showing my partner a picture of a very cute, very grumpy-looking cat: Awww, look at his silly lil face! My partner: I love him! What subreddit is that? Me: This is our local kitty rescue site. My partner: .....Well. This changes things.

Because of the aforementioned creepass old man, my gym buddy and I tried a 75-min hot yoga class this morning instead. It's usually ~90° but today was nearing 100°+. Instructor asked if we wanted the doors open to cool off a little. All the women said yes; one man said no. The doors stayed closed.

When I travel, I try to find romance bookshops to visit. I found Thirst Books (thirstbooks.com) while traveling for work earlier this week and LOVED it. Staff was amazing, got to meet the owner of the store, got TONS of great recs, and left with an armful to weigh down my carry-on. 11/10 🥰

Super short version of a long story: my physical fitness and health journey began about a decade ago with a gym membership and a lot of nerves. Fast forward to three years ago, and my gym had become the only stable place that felt like home. (This story is about awful men) 🧵

If we actually want to appreciate moms, we should be providing free childcare, healthcare, and guaranteed income for stay-at-home parents to put more money in families’ pockets and ensure no SAHP is reliant on a partner for their economic security. Idk I think that’s better than 15% off a vacuum.

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school. They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.
