To the over-30 crowd: What's the saddest way you've injured yourself?
I leaned my head back to wet my hair in the shower and pulled a muscle in my neck.
“And the worst paht is that this Mistuh Tate thought himself so clevuh, so untouchable with all his fancy cahs and glamuh, while right befoh our eyes was a Romanian pizza box that would prove his undoing”

Yeah I’m wondering if they’re gonna find some specific genetic thing that makes certain people more resistant, cause I have dodged it a *suspicious* number of times
1/31/21: A cute guy on Twitter DMs me + we start talking nonstop. I’m writing a short story and I figure, I like his name, I’ll name a character after him.
1/31/23: That same guy is my partner and best friend. I’m heading to the bank to cash a $3000 prize for that short story.
Do other ADHDers get on a high where you finally do one task that’s been haunting you for months and then BOOM suddenly you’re paying your car insurance, you’re making dentist appointments, you’re unstoppable?
My professor has informed me that my lower-than-average workshop grade this quarter is due mainly to my “pattern of laughing at inappropriate moments during class discussion”
A student came up after my class to apologize for being “out of it” during our discussion. She said she’d thought about skipping but didn’t want to throw off our schedule.
I said “Oh, are you ok?” and she said “Well…I had a miscarriage.”
Be kind y’all. You really never know.
Two years ago today, outside a cupcake shop in Lisbon, I broke up with an emotional manipulator who had almost convinced me to marry him. And I’ll always be proud of myself for that.
I would like to take this moment (and the unexpected popularity of this tweet) to wish my gal
@E_Portale
a very happy birthday. She’s spending it in the hospital, unexpectedly...I assume y’all can relate.

Showed up for jury duty this morning and was part of the first group called. We were told to return in two weeks for selection on a case projected to last SEVENTY DAYS.
That’s three and a half months y’all. 🥲🫠

He’s an engineer who likes puzzles so I’d guess Lego would fit the bill as well, as long as it’s not some massive structure my mom has no place for haha. Good thought!
Me: Why can't anyone see that I'm amazing and a total catch
Person: Hi there, I think you're amazing and a total catch
Me: Well clearly there must be something wrong with you

I just officially told my parents the whole “I’m not convinced anymore that God hates gayness” thing and whew. I seriously cannot IMAGINE how hard it is to come out. Y’all are absolute champs.
When I say LA is a small town, I mean that a guy from my Christian college honors program just gave the Best Picture acceptance speech. What an epic night.
Me: “So to say ‘I am vaccinated’ would I use ‘soy’ or ‘estoy’?”

Harry: “…cause this isn’t America.”
I had the realization yesterday that perhaps I’m not a bad friend, and instead I’m just a regular friend with ADHD.
This is big if true. Like, undo-decades-of-guilt big. 🧵

@soonils516
aside from everything else wrong with this tweet, it is truly bananas that you would use a scenario where so many people died as an argument against her point about ED mortality
The other night,
@theharriot
told me he loved me for the first time...on the way back from helping me take out the recycling.
Just in case anyone needed proof he’s an Enneagram 2.
Why do evangelicals need celebrities so badly? Soon as we get disillusioned/betrayed by one flashy pastor we run and find someone else to be our holy hero.
@WedgeJonathan
my first impulse was to read this as implying that I don’t normally put thought into gifts, which is deeply offensive where I come from, but then I realized it would be very Internet and uncharitable of me to do that
Did any other sheltered kids spend later years “catching up” on the pop culture they didn’t experience?
At this point I’ve Mandela-effected my way into believing that I grew up listening to 90s pop, because I’ve faked the nostalgia for so long.
The number on the scale today was the highest I’ve seen in my entire life.
I weighed 25lbs less than this a few years ago, while on a juice cleanse my ex suggested I do. I was miserable during the cleanse & most of the relationship. I thought a scale could measure my worthiness.
@sewistwrites
Sure, but then Rory goes on to fully internalize everyone else’s belief in her perfection and become an entitled adult. 32-year-old Rory is significantly less mature than 32-year-old Lorelai.
Happy Mother’s Day to y’all from someone who thinks the whole prospect of having/raising kids sounds lowkey terrifying. Like, they strip you of so much autonomy and in the process gain their own?? Rude.
@racheljwelcher
You say you learned a few things, but it appears that “I made an authoritative blanket statement about something I don’t fully understand” was not one of them. You don’t need to speak/be an authority on this just because you have a big following. It’s ok to ask questions instead.
Do I know anyone who buys clothes at Costco? Despite being such a Costco stan overall I’ve never even looked at their clothing.
I’m wondering if I have some kind of ingrained mental block that it’s just not *proper* to buy shirts the same place I buy steaks.

In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice I've been turning over in my mind ever since. Whenever you feel like criticizing anyone, he told me, just remember all the people in this Four Seasons Total Landscaping haven't had the advantages you've had.
Tell me what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious day of looking cute (and why didn’t I save mine for my first in-person school day tomorrow)
