LOL thinking about when we toured wedding venues in early March like "yeah we're going for winter-industrial-chic, tell us about your cocktail set up!!" And now I'm like "Idk maybe some stranger can just make it legal through a drive thru?"

Shout out to the indie and folk musicians who (begrudgingly?) recorded Christmas songs. For those of us who want the Christmas fix AND the "refined music taste" snobbery, thanks!!
Best decision of my life:
We are currently accepting applications for our MFAs in fiction, poetry, and nonfiction. Apply by January 3 to OSU's fully funded program and visit beav.es/U8r to learn more. #gradschool #MFA #oregonstate

I'm about 10 years late to watching @BreakingBad, but 3 seasons down and it seems to me the biggest crime is a lack of comprehensive health care coverage in the US.

Geeez you swipe up ONE TIME on an insta fitness ad and all of a sudden it's like I've never worked out a day in my life and literally need every diet app available to coax my festering ass off the couch.
Bf: Influencers just don't influence me Me: okay, well you aren't on social media so that would make sense

So grateful to work with teenagers when @taylorswift13 drops yet another album. THESE are the minds I want to hear from at times like this.
