@priest_099 From Shrinking: Best Friend is a category not a person

I was 10 when my teacher asked us to write a short story about our best friend. I looked at mine and smiled. I then wrote everything I knew about her. Once we're done the teacher asked for volunteers to read our story out loud. My best friend went first. I was not in her story.

@BlueJayHunter The stalking plus the shoulder shrug on the glove side

My favourite part of Scherzer strikeouts is how he books it off the mound like a power-shopping dad 5 minutes before Home Depot closes.

Nationals fans are very familiar with this

@RDouggie58 @ZoeTillman He seems to be writing at Trump's level, and on purpose

@ZoeTillman Judge Leon writes like a fucking teenager. It’s pathetic.

"After all, the White House does not belong to any one man - not even a president!" Judge Richard Leon drops at least 18 of his trademark exclamation points in ordering a stop to construction on Trump's White House ballroom (delays enforcement for 14 days so DOJ can appeal) buff.ly/WG6ktOX

@Simon_Ingari Sounds like contract law 101 to me: a claim of Promissory Estoppel!

HR Manager: Congratulations again. We’re excited to have you join us. Candidate: Thank you. I just have one question before I sign. HR Manager: Sure. Candidate: The offer letter says $6,500. HR Manager: Yes, that’s the monthly salary. Candidate: That’s why I’m confused. In all three interviews, I was told $10,000. HR Manager: I understand. The number discussed in interviews was more of a projected figure. Candidate: No, it was presented as the salary for this role. Three times. HR Manager: The final approved amount is what appears in the offer letter. Candidate: Then why was $10,000 repeated in every round? HR Manager: At the time, that may have been the expected range. Candidate: So after three interviews confirming $10,000, the real number is suddenly $6,500? HR Manager: This is still a competitive offer. Candidate: Competitive with what? Because it’s definitely not competitive with what your team promised me. HR Manager: I understand your frustration. Candidate: Good. Because three interviews saying $10,000 and one offer letter saying $6,500 isn’t miscommunication. HR Manager: Then what is it? Candidate: Bait.

@SarahjevsEvans Such cute markings

The rescue said I can collect Cupcake Evans tomorrow!!💖🤗

@Mr_Husky1 My friend-of-a-friend lost his already loose crown tooth, not regal, somewhere in my car late at night. We couldn't find it and I had to work really early. I told him he'd have to arrange to look in the morning at my work, reasoning it wasn't in the front. He never found it.

I have lost my keys inside my car. Not locked, LOST. To clarify: My car turned on. My car will only turn on if the keys are inside of it. So they must be in the car. Yet I cannot find my keys. My car is not messy. There is very little in it. I’ve looked everywhere. And yet, the keys are nowhere to be found. But they have to be here. Hence, I have lost my keys in my car. What … and I cannot stress this enough … the f*ck?

@RobynAnderson Good night!

Good night innernets. (Reverb)

@NYMhistory @jerryblevins I wondered since I got my Mom this shirsey

@BBK8_e @jerryblevins Hahaha great question!

3/30/2015 The Mets acquire Jerry Blevins from the Nationals for Matt den Dekker. In four years with New York, Blevins pitched to a 3.38 ERA. He ranked third in the National League with 212 appearances from 2016 to 2018. @jerryblevins

@rebekkarnold For next time, please consider why you sat with it for so long, which led to a crisis. Maybe you didn't trust yourself to speak without anger, but most advice is to count to 10. Maybe you need to count to 100, but not 100,000. I think most people assume that others want the same

Am I the arsehole? I booked and reserved a window seat on the train because I like to spend my train journeys looking out of the window and disassociating, a lady gets on at the next stop and sits in the unreserved seats in front of me…

@RobynAnderson Emmylou is showing off how loooong she is

🎉Former fosters Emmylou (formerly Matilda) and Arlo (Nigel) are enjoying the sunshine. What a great view! ❤️ (Thanks, Bethany!)

@HawkeyeTownsend @LePapillonBlu2 @MrsKladybug And we won't be allowed to protest Trump putting ICE around voting polls.

@LePapillonBlu2 @MrsKladybug When I tried to warn people about him, they told me I was overreacting. Wait until he puts ICE at voting locations to suppress the vote.

We knew it would be bad, but holy shit…

@writemeganwrite Here's Hey Jude. I really like him

Hey it’s Sunday— tell me a thing you like. I’ll go first: I like this little cat, whose first birthday is today. HBD Lennon, you are my best little guy. Now your turn. 🖤

@AliR_Ahmadi @TimInHonolulu Is that...Kristi Noem?

Lindsay Graham agitated for this war and is now on vacation in Disney World. Reminder: He has no wife or kids. Why is he there?

@KeruboSk You were a boundary-enforcing hero. If you had let them, not only would you have given up the seat you paid for, but you--and everyone in the near vicinity--would have had to deal with whatever noise and prattle they wanted to make next to one another.

I once booked an aisle seat on a flight because I like being able to get up without climbing over people. Simple. Intentional. Paid for. I get there and someone’s already in my seat, sitting all comfortable next to their friend like they planned it that way. I pause, double-check my ticket, then politely tell them that’s my seat. They hit me with, “oh… would you mind switching so we can sit together?” Now mind you… this wasn’t confusion. This was a fully formed plan that just didn’t include me until I showed up. I just looked at them for a second and said, “I booked this seat on purpose.” Because let’s be real… that’s not my problem. That’s a problem that should’ve been solved during booking. Respectfully.

@bricheesedraws @catherinetinker I love Cocoa, she always brings peaceful to my Twitter feed.

@Tomdickanarry @EllenBarkin @sandibachom @cnnipr @SaskyaCNN @Niamh__Kennedy @karadaniellefox I understand it is because sexual assault is the broader term, and also the legal definition of rape changes by jurisdiction.

@EllenBarkin @sandibachom @cnnipr @SaskyaCNN @Niamh__Kennedy @karadaniellefox When did media start calling rape, “sexual assault”? It sure sounds like they are trying to make it sound less evil.

"It's hard for me to put her to sleep. For now I'm hiding everything well, but I have to be careful." CNN investigated the global online "sleep porn" community, even managing to track down one user and his wife. @SaskyaCNN @Niamh__Kennedy @karadaniellefox

@latsot Calm down, calm down. People spend minutes in a toilet.

I'm quite appalled by the number of people saying that accessible spaces should be up for grabs by people who claim a special, magical gender identity. Anyone who knows me knows I'm 100% on the side of women being able to keep men out of their single sex-spaces. I celebrated the Supreme Court ruling along with all other sane people. But a lot of people think that people who don't want to use the single-sex spaces appropriate for their sex should feel free to use accessible spaces instead. This is *not acceptable* to disabled people. And *WHY* didn't you even think to ask us? I don't think the people who've said this have thought through the impact this will have on the lives of disabled people. Currently, decent people don't use accessible spaces unless they need to. This is protected by a social contract. Once we encourage people who don't want to use single-sex spaces for whatever reason to use the accessible ones, we've broken that social contract. All bets are off. And a scarce resource for people who actually really need it is now greatly more scarce. I'm absolutely tired of explaining to people what an enormous effect this will have on the lives of disabled people. And I'm horrified by the number of people - including people I've thought of for years as allies - who think of disabled people and the spaces we need as acceptable collateral damage. I'm delighted that women are finally getting perverted men out of their spaces but it can't come at the expense of disabled people losing our spaces. Far, far too many otherwise sane people are suggesting it. WHY can't they understand that they don't get to give away our spaces any more than anyone gets to give up theirs? But also, of course, lots of brilliant people (women, mostly) have been absolutely brilliant defenders of disability rights.
