Something about fall makes the girls go to social events like they’ll never see another human again. Here’s my recap: I went as American Girl Dolls with Tess for Halloween. My friend got dancing glizzies tattooed onto her, which is objectively awesome. At a brunch, the waiter had aggressively blue eyes and was very intent on making random conversation and it was all very flustering, like when you’re at the zoo and a baboon is itching its ass while refusing to break eye contact.
Here’s what I’ve been thinking about this week:
All the discourse about Elon Musk buying Twitter and making big changes brings me joy. Consider this: Twitter was always a platform for absolute clowns (hate speech, unfunny takes, like-mongering), and now the head of the circus has stepped in to lead. Soon there will be no choice left but for us to leave it and actually read something.
Did you all see that woman who pointed out the 5 Minute Craft videos are actually fetish content? It’s been consuming all of my thoughts.
I’m so mentally unwell from work that I pushed all my friends to do a mass order of Squishmallows with me only to realize the Costco deal expired. And then my friend got hot dogs tattooed on her body forever. So
Nice things to consider:
This British woman reading Rishi Sunak for filth.
All the high schoolers who dressed up as Steve Harvey.
Rihanna has returned to music.
Since we last spoke, I covered the tragic crowd crush that struck Seoul this weekend in real time. I reported a mass murder in one Oklahoma home. I continued Uvalde coverage as the first state trooper who responded on the scene was fired. Last weekend, I rounded up some photos of the protests that swept the globe in solidarity with the death of Mahsa Amini.
