I am SUCH a sucker for romantic comedies. The world can be such a shitty place at times. We need more love. Even if it's cheesy, saccharine & completely implausible scenes from #RomComs.
@CedricKlapisch If you're not familiar with them, both of those series were filmed years apart, chronicling the love lives of the characters as they transitioned from their 20s to their 30s. When they came out, I was transitioning from my 20s to my 30s, too, so I deeply related.
@CedricKlapisch Plus, they were both series involve freelance writers & Americans who move between living in Europe and the US ( ... back when I, too, was moving between Europe and the US).
@CedricKlapisch Love those movies. Highly recommend them all. Watch them chronologically.

Good morning, loves! ❤️ Here are a few wisdom droplets for you: To state the obvious, every member of congress who aided & abetted last Wednesday's attack is a traitor to this country. #NatSec
If you've seen photos & listened to reports from congresspeople who were inside the Capitol during the attack, you know certain Republicans gave rioters pre-attack recognizance tours.
They also first-pumped to cheer attackers on as they trashed the Capitol, tweeted out the location of the fellow congress members' hiding spaces & one literally said (about the mob) "those are my people." Watch this entire video. #NatSec instagram.com/tv/CJ-OkgNAO1N…
By definition, they require imagination and expanding one's mind. For example, when you see an actor, you're picturing them as the person they're depicting — not solely thinking: "Hey, that's ____!" #StarringRole
Usually, "unwanted" is a dated term to describe an untimed, or unexpected, pregnancy. #SRHR#SexualHealth
Usually, it covers a lot of agency on the part of the person who became pregnant. In other words, someone who is able to become pregnant had a consensual sexual encounter, and that encounter resulted in an unexpected — or "unwanted" — pregnancy.
Not all photos are uploaded to Twitter using the correct specs to optimize display on Twitter. For example ...
Twitter apparently taught its algorithm to find the most interesting / relevant parts of of photos, then display a cropped version of those pics such that the most relevant part shows up as a thumbnail.
We have to stay up. Stay focused. Stay happy. Stay optimistic.
Thank you, @silverbranchus for hosting an outdoor, physically distanced #Oktoberfest event. Spirits need lifting right now, and you're providing that service. #RIPRBG ❤
Tonight I restore my soul. 🍻 Tomorrow, I get back to work.
The New York Times did this, back in 2016. Though, with Trump supporters and Duck Dynasty (vis-a-vis shows like Modern Family & Empire). nytimes.com/interactive/20…
It's the premise of #BigData. To riff off Aristotle's "give me a child until he is 7, and I will show you the man", in modern times, it's: "Give me your data, and I will show you who I believe you are, and push you in the direction of who I want you to be."
As an example, if you're getting election-related calls, texts, Facebook ads, etc., you're getting them because you're on a list. Data decided which list(s) you should be on.
