@ManuclearBomb Everything’s coming up Millhouse!

Been thinking about Simpsons phrases that have entered the popular lexicon. Things like "land of contrasts" and "saying the quiet part loud," what else is there (not thinking of neologisms/solecisms like "cromulent" or "embiggen")

@isabelunraveled Don’t stop doing things that scare you. It’s the only way you’ll continue to grow professionally. Make and keep close friends, this is a challenge in the busiest part of life (30s and 40s) but will be a great source of joy and comfort in your 50s.

question for women in their 30s, 40s, 50s, etc: what are women in their twenties not considering that they should be considering?

@kegill @MargaretAtwood @HC_Richardson Add some “Oryx and Crake” series into the mix and viola…

@MargaretAtwood @HC_Richardson

Ahem.

@JATNP1 @Theholisticpsyc This. Yes.

We don’t acknowledge the resilience of the oldest daughter who became the protector of the family even though all she ever felt was unsafe.

@mics0t @Theholisticpsyc Same

@Theholisticpsyc I’m the eldest daughter and this tweet feels like a hug. I’m crying

@luinalaska Good luck to y’all trying to emulate this. Seriously do you think this represents anyone’s real family life?

Can someone explain to me what specifically happened in this video to trigger so many people? Is it waking up early? Boba? Homeschooling? Hockey?Someone explain the “I’d rather kms” comment section.

@KelseyMLoo I just asked my husband and he lit up and said often but only because watching USA on the decline seems like the dying days of Roman Empire.

I saw an IG Reel that said something along the lines of “women have no idea how often the men in their lives think about the Roman Empire.” So I asked my husband: “How often do you think about the Roman Empire?” And without missing a beat he said “Every day.” YALL! Why!?

@Stopworkplacebu Catering manager stick my hand in a pot of scalding hot coffee because a patron said their coffee wasn’t hot enough. I got second degree burns that blistered and disallowed any shifts off over Xmas.

What was the most offensive or hurtful words your boss or bully ever said to you?

@LindseyBoylan The glass cliff. Ugh

What’s the word for when a corporation brings in a woman after every man has failed and it’s virtually impossible for her to succeed because so much structural and fundamental failure has happened before she even walked in the door?

@notcapnamerica At 15, my manager at McDonald’s wouldn’t let me leave the staff changing area until I gave him a kiss. “Just a quick kiss and I’ll let you go back to work”. He was 21.

What’s the most toxic thing a supervisor has ever said to you?

@maliktheoracle Outlaws

What’s a word for 2 dudes that hang occasionally because their girlfriends are best friends

What's a media outlet you trust? @ them below ⬇️

@TheAgentNDN Shartlettown, PEI

Poop a colonial place name.

@perfectrose2011 @1goodtern I grew up in Prince Edward Island (east coast of Canada) and when I was very young, I heard fortnight a lot but it seems to have disappeared.

@1goodtern No one has added the term: 'Fortnight' - meaning in two weeks time. My dad (mum, dad & I all British but came to Vancouver when I was 6 yr. old) used this phrase often and I grew up knowing what it meant. No one uses it in Canada and doubt anyone would know what it means.

International friends, what's your favourite bit of British slang?

@1goodtern Shattered for exhausted, gob smacked for speechless, I reckon for I think, sorted for solved/organized/finished, can’t be arsed for lazy

@beatonna Congratulations! Butter sales make the news here in PEI.

My book was on Obama’s favourite list but what is really electrifying the room here at mom and dad’s is that King Cole tea is on sale $5.99 a box, and everyone is flying through the store with shopping carts full of them

@rachsyme Also - you are sad and possibly a bit disappointed with life. That’s important
