Here's the Magic Mike sequel I'd love to see:
Dallas's midlife crisis after moving to Miami was harder than he thought and aging out as a stripper means big questions around identity and life purpose.
Maybe he takes a two-year break to redefine himself, maybe he finds a loving partner and becomes a dad ... or maybe I've just been listening to "Greenlights."
@McConaughey, could you be talked into the leather pants one more time?
Ferry was supposed to arrive in the Rockaways at 5:33 pm. A boat finally just appeared and dropped people off - but is out of service for the return ride.
We are told a boat will come at 6:30.
It’s a beautiful day at the beach but I don’t want to be stranded here, @NYCferry.
Following the advice of seasoned travelers can save you from some headaches. But there's also something to be said for knowing what's right for you.
Know the rules so you know when to break them.
Check out this collection of contrarian travel advice, including from yours truly.
Lots of travel advice that you receive is helpful but there is probably some you can do without: huffpost.com/entry/travel-ti… @HuffPost
Love this thread for its mix of practical basics, clever hacks and thoughtful snark.
I travel with a power strip with 6 foot cord, because hotels and rentals often don’t have enough outlets or have them where I need them.
Also snacks because traveling hangry is dicey.
What is something you absolutely can't travel without?
Bonus points if it's under $100.
My phone was stolen last weekend and among my many frustrations is re-establishing 2FA authentication on various platforms.
@zoom support chat directs me to log onto my account to reset two-factor authentication.
Then tells me to log in to be able to access an agent.
I would just cancel the account in protest of this lousy system but I need to be able to log in to do that.
Today is the last day of Mental Health Awareness Month -- but I don't want to let it go, because I think it's important to care for your mental health all year long!
So I'm offering a workshop next week with some tips for managing your stress level.
#StressManagement
* Self care is not a substitute for working with a mental health professional -- I think of the simple techniques I'll show you like brushing and flossing, which you do for maintenance between visits to the dentist.
#selfcare
Get it into your calendar now! Let's keep mental health awareness rolling into June.

I have been unable to log into @Mailchimp all day yesterday, and still today.
When I try, I get an error page that says to contact @MailchimpHelp with the following info. (IP address, system details)
But then when I try to contact help, I'm told I need to upgrade to get help.
I've been wondering if it's time to switch over to @ConvertKit and being locked out of my account with no ability to take the action Mailchimp recommends is feeling like a push.
Of course, I need to log into Mailchimp to get my existing mailing lists. I wonder if I'll be able to.
Looking for a social media miracle!
I went to the Grand Central Oyster Bar on an and took my beloved Jazz Fest umbrella with me.
When I left, I took a black cane-handled umbrella.
But when I used it next, I discovered it’s black on the inside - not magnolias, like mine has!
But maybe more importantly, it talks about why you should take a mini sabbatical.
When you take a break from your routine, you can see it more clearly. You get a fresh perspective on your life.
You might get a reboot on your values, or discover new passions.
Is it time for you to take a mini sabbatical?
When you buy my new book, you'll find a promo code in the back to take my self-paced class on sabbatical planning. It's my gift to you for reading.
