Got to work early this morning and tried seeking attention from the co-workers who don’t hate me yet. They were all doing their morning devotionals. Trying to be funny, I said, “can we put the Lord on hold for just a sec while I talk about me?!” Wrong crowd.

@judysquirrels I feel like I see this happen a lot once people start going on those really strict diets and spend all their time working out. It’s like all of the fun they had living life is gone, and if they’re not bringing joy into their life, they have no joy to share.

@alanna Yess!!!! I remember watching it at sixteen, and when her stepmom, Bren, told Juno not to go to a married mans house, I was on Juno’s side. Watching it now, I am so entirely uncomfortable with Mark’s super inappropriate behavior. Vanessa and the belly at the mall, though 😭😭😭💛

So, I was really sick last week but when I went to urgent care, the doctor was minimizing my symptoms and saying he didn’t think it was Covid and I had to push to get tested. They just called to tell me I tested positive. What about that, doc?!

It’s crazy that the American Dirt drama feels so long ago, and yet so relevant to this conversation. I wonder what Jeanine Cummins publishingpaidme tweet would look like...”a million dollars to tell a white washed retelling of Luis Alberto Urrea’s works.”

@lynnsstrong “The Progress of Love” by Alice Munro. I’d loved her stories already, but when I read it, I went for a walk and cried because I was so overwhelmed by it and also by the realization that anything I did wouldn’t compare to it. And I love it more every time I go back to it.
