@FullAsMuchHeart Ice cream!!

I have a niece being born in July and I live 1000 miles away and can't participate in the meal train so please send suggestions of other helpful things I could send long distance for my sister-in-law?

@Hania16836 B or D

My grandma is 98 and still more stylish than all of us 😭💚 Which dress should she wear to my wedding?

@ick_real Great grandmother had the name Zula Marie.

I'm looking for a ridiculously old-fashioned girl's name for our new born . Think great-grandma name. Very old and rare. Any suggestions asap pls?

@ThatEricAlper Every battery in the house.

Let's hear it.

@tchapmanonline I can be someone, be someone.

Which Tracy Chapman lyric stays with you? You know the one. The line you whisper to yourself. The one you quote when no one’s listening. Share it. Let someone else feel it too.

@NiallHarbison Love your hat!

I’m very lucky I’ve been through this many times. I know the fixes and what not to do. It’ll pass as it always does. I wrote this to hopefully help others. It’s taken me 25 years to figure much of this out. The more it’s talked about the better ❤️ (12/12)

I’ve suffered my whole life from depression and anxiety. I have both really bad today. I thought I’d try explain my typical symptoms so other sufferers or their friends and family can understand it better. This is what depression feels like… (1/12)

@offgridteacher Somewhere, I read that E B White wrote it that way, ---to be read out loud.

The best thing I did in my last year (for now) in the classroom was to do a whole class study of Charlotte’s Web- which some of my followers here helped support!

@ThatEricAlper Groundhog Day

What is your “comfort movie” that you have watched many times?

@Simply_Rain_S I can count three people I have nudged to our career, successfully. Makes me feel like a Library Mom. And they are all wonderful people.

@heymrsbond Stephanie Land's Maid...added advantage that she's huge writing.

@the_coral_lea I have died and gone to heaven!

A book hallway?

@JustJoshinNH @Wolflikeswool That's gorgeous and pithy!

@Wolflikeswool They want a past that never existed to create a future that’ll never happen in a present where they can hurt and steal with impunity

This obsession with factory work is part of fascism’s poisonous nostalgia

@Simply_Rain_S Isn't part of our uniform? How else would patrons know who's who?

@KassiesDad AbsoEFFINGlutely.

Cats 1. Love change everything

@wolfofx Thank you for a hilarious #Caturday spread!

15. Hilarious

@Simply_Rain_S Happy Birthday, Sweetie. An interesting adventure!

@wolfofx This happened to us, and out of a crowded room of pens, and many noisy kitties, one cat quietly snagged my son's shoulder as he walked by. He---Macavity--chose us. And so it went for 18 years. He was an amazing part of our family.

11. The boy went to the shelter with the intention of adopting a kitten, and as soon as he arrived, one of the cats hugged him.. Cat chooses you x.com/Yoda4ever/stat…

@offgridteacher It's as much a major suck as any other made up business story. When I married 20 years ago, I avoided most of the crap like the plague, and happy I did.

I was engaged for a month, and got my dress “off the rack” from Reformation because they shipped it to me ASAP.

@Simply_Rain_S Salivating suddenly!
