A huge thank you to @forbes and @taylors2point0 for the kind words about the company I cofounded, @Sweetlaurelbake! Excited for our journey forward 💛 forbes.com/sites/meggentaylo…
I really need a @JosephPera/@Tim_Walz interview to happen. The wholesomeness would be too much 💛
It’s the “dress like you’re 100” for the hundredth day of school for my son’s kindergarten class and honestly…
Thinking about @dieworkwear and old school tailoring. No collar gap on my kid 🤣

What good movies are 90% vibes 10% story?
Thinking of this Hitchcock quote:
“It is how you do it, and not your content that makes you an artist. A story is simply a motif, just as a painter might paint a bowl of fruit just to give him something to paint.”

Growing up, I read books where kids played in the forest or street or farm for hours without supervision, and I thought it was lovely fantasy but totally made up
Over time I've realized that that's simply how things used to be! It's now that's the anomaly. Children used to roam, and now they're confined to sheltered transport by adults between home, school, and scheduled playdates npr.org/sections/krulwich/20… h/t @eluberoff
I wonder what the impact is on kids' and adults' psyches. As a kid, I always longed to explore the world beyond my yard on my own – and my parents probably chafed at having to serve as my chauffeur, too!
Worse, this probably develops thought patterns that reduce your agency and independence in other parts of life. If you grow up asking adults to drive you every time you want to do something outside the house, you'll develop the instinct that you need permission to do things in the world
Hear me out: can they do a season of #Alone but it’s a outdoors person plus their amazingly trained dog?
One of my fav books is “wild animals I have known” and the dynamic of dogs and pioneers/hunters is just incredible. Plus dogs. Adding dogs to anything immediately improves it
I really need a super friends league of film makers like Tarantino, del Toro, Scorsese, Spielberg, and Cameron to save TCM, or resurrect up Filmstruck, or something. Please, I’m begging. So much access to DISCOVERY will be lost when it’s gone. TCM is where I learned to love film.

Look, I WILL spoil Succession for you. If you come into my writers room Monday morning without having seen it, I cannot help you. You have one job: to watch the show when it airs. I’m not your mother.
Late to seeing #m3gan and OH MY GOD. I have not had this good a time watching a film in theaters in AGES.
Anyone else know if influencers are posting ads for AI/Midjourney? I'm seeing A LOT of posts on IG from design/lifestyle people but no hashtags disclosing if it's an ad...🤔
Question for #medievaltwitter - I'm trying too find an English/British equivalent to the Slavic Leshi, is there one? Or is it more in the realm of fairy lore rather than a singular forest daemon? cc: @DrFrancisYoung @ClerkofOxford
Watching Mrs Miniver and realizing this is my “it’s a wonderful life.” If you want me quietly sobbing over the beauty of humanity you can’t find a more sure thing.
The way they weave a thousand tiny normal threads so effortlessly, it’s really magic.
Question: does anyone else remember Don Hertzfeldt cartoons? I have made the mistake of quoting them like they’re Die Hard, as if everyone has seen them, when it seems like only Claremont college students in 2006 were held in his grip. Like - we had a “my spoon is too big” mural.

Hello. Young kids back in school are so sick right now. Everyone with a preschooler has an entire household of sleepless viral cough snot fevers for the past two months without a fucking break. So if you know a parent going through this, be kind and gently hit them with your car.
