I think we'll all know for sure by 8 p.m. whether or not #StrangerThings #ConformityGate is real considering that's when the rest of the volumes were released. After that, I'm letting go 😂

Earlier this month, actor James Ransone lost his life to suicide. This breaks my heart more than any fictional death could. Because the character Eddie Kaspbrak isn't real. But James was. https://t.co/VHRKr3qNPU

Hasta ahora el mejor momento de la temporada de 'It: Welcome to Derry'. Rich fue uno de los personajes más entrañables y este encuentro con Pennywise hace que lo adoremos más. https://t.co/sysyRN2QHm

Did you hear about Quentin Tarantino dissing Matthew Lillard's acting last week? 😡 It inspired me to write a blog about how to stop letting one miserable person distort your entire self-worth. @MatthewLillard

For the last day of #SuicidePreventionMonth, I wanted to share my experience with suicidal ideations to show that it can happen to anyone. What’s important, though, is that you don’t act on these thoughts. Instead, call or text the @988Lifeline, anytime. https://t.co/s5YQAGoCMu

I've always been a "Yes girl," even at the expense of my own mental health. But I decided to write a blog about the benefits of saying "No," which has taken me way too long to realize – and also explain why I have to say "No" more often now. https://t.co/WQx15PR19T

If you asked me what I least expected since becoming a mother, it’s not the sleepless nights or the diabolical diapers. One thing I still ha...

Is Snoop afraid to leave his house then too?! His grandson could see two men holding hands on the sidewalk, or two women kiss on a date at a restaurant. It's a part of life!

Snoop Dogg admitted that he’s “scared to go to the movies” after seeing a same-sex couple represented onscreen while taking his grandson to see Disney’s Lightyear: “I didn’t come here for this s--t.”

My blog is up on @BCBSM's website about why needing sleep isn't a waste of time! #MyHealthierMI
ahealthiermichigan.org
Being a mom to an 11-month-old, you would think I’d be used to not getting enough sleep. Still, no matter how many times I wake up to my baby’s cries in the middle of the night, I’m not used to it.

Diversity is a pre-requisite of being human. Obviously we're not all the same, and people don't choose the color of their skin, their heritage, the gender they're attracted to, or whether or not they have a disability. So I don't understand how anyone can be against it.

I was inspired by my mom –and becoming a mother myself – to write this blog! I never really thought before how much it takes to bring a human into this world, but it really gave me a new perspective on how precious each of our lives are 💗 https://t.co/hNTeoYsrps
