@MelissaMoore77 People feel the need to stop talking about your loss with you because they think it’ll make you feel bad to talk about it. But getting asked about your grief experience is such a rare thing even 2 months after your loss. It’s such a gift to be asked.

But, I have someone in my life who is in deep grief and will be indefinitely. I’m wondering if anyone has any offerings on meaningful ways that loved ones showed up when they were enduring profound grief. Would be grateful for any insight.

Many of us have expressed our frustration with how people have interacted with us in our grief (they repeat too many thoughtless platitudes & quote the wrong verses, etc. and etc. and ETC.) but we don't talk as often about the helpful ways people have supported us in our grief.

@BethMooreLPM He looks like an elderly gentleman taking his first selfie. 😂 love it!

I hate to wave my BirdBuddy pictures in front of y’all since it’s out of stock and all. I feel I’ve shown great restraint so as not to muster up covetousness among the saints but I just keep laughing at this one from today. This is me going I know you did not just say that.

@anonywes15 💪💪💪 how does one end up with an odd number of chickens with a bogo though??

@anonywes15 It sounds like you need a Red Rider BB Gun for Christmas.

She looks like Snoopy.

@eggshellfriend My first day interning at a publishing company this girl was sharing her screen in a meeting with the whole department and messaged someone that she had to babysit the intern all day

Shoutout to the guy in my zoom meeting who was screensharing and went to slack to DM his coworker “She’s killing me” while I was talking

@LShalott Get a robust TBR list- the more you want to read it, the more you will! And audiobooks help a ton to get back into the hobby. And books of essays/short stories read quick/fast-paced genres like suspense and mysteries.

I’m looking for tips on how to get back to a regular reading routine, especially when your ability to focus and your attention span have greatly diminished since the panini started (or maybe it’s just the suspected/undiagnosed ADHD.)

@riggser Have you read her essay This Dog’s Life? It makes you love Ann and dogs more

i think we should be talking about ann patchett's dog more

@DustinNickerson Honeycrisp or literally nothing

Most unrealistic part of Wednesday is Xavier buying her a phone in the finale. Is he now paying her phone bill?? How does that work?

@Phil_Lewis_ The entirety of Oregon that isn’t Portland. Portland is overhyped but the rest of Oregon isn’t.

Question: What is the most underrated state in the US? (Whatever underrated means to you)

@LauraRbnsn It’s insane to think of it as a “tie breaker” when it’s one person vs. one person at all times. Like, isn’t every situation then a tie breaker?? So you’re basically saying if the husband wants it enough it’s always his way.

Wow bro that must have been really hard for you, how can wives ever imagine the pain you go through when you do what you like because no one will stop you

Man the whole "husband as tie breaker for hard decisions in marriage" thing in Christian patriarchy culture was so dumb. "Honey, I've heard you out and sacrificially, wearing a crown of thorns, with tears in my eyes, loving you as Christ loved the church, dying to myself and

Anyone else have to remind yourself daily that if you die they’ll replace you at your job within the month so that you’ll act your wage, or is that just me #hyperresponsible

Oh no, I have naturally terrible hair. My poor husband. What a disgrace I must be

@anonywes15 Tyler said today “now that I’ve made the turkey and it wasn’t dry, I’m wondering why I’ve eaten so many dry turkeys in my life”

I’ve used it for years and it never fails me

I don’t know what I’d do without this gif

@MelissaMoore77 We had a family friend who would bring a basket of condiments as a welcome gift to new folks who just moved! It’s overlooked but nobody moves their condiments with them!

You know after you move into a new place & have a hundred errands to run & it's all so overwhelming? I'm thinking of going to the store for condiments only today. Is this too boring a tweet for Elon's Twitter? Also, yesterday I washed the outside of my windows & they look great.

@whotfisjovana Ok but why was this literally my Gemini self’s Halloween costume last year

if astrology is fake then why do all Geminis look like this
