i started doing the pomodoro method while writing today bc it was part of my resolution to give it an honest shot and i regret to inform you it really fucking works

my particular formula is 25 on, 5 off, in the 5 you can make tea or check tweets or browse online or put on lip balm or whatever, in the 25 if you do any of these things the floor is lava and you are in big trouble mister

also this is today's tea and it is SO GOOD and i've been through two pots already murchies.com/product/lavend…

i really have become a tea woman in quar; i love tea, i think about tea all day long, cannot get enough of tea

i always wonder how those women who collect/are given as gifts something related to one thing are born...and now i see it; my mother-in-law gave me tea-themed notecards for xmas and i was like, this is a perfect gift for me, a woman who likes tea. and so it begins

ugh now possessed with writing a mini-series newsletter about tea called "here's the tea"...dammit why does my brain do this

do u ever just think about bette davis in this interview

also...was bette born with this voice? making up that you are from another country is bad (and should not be done!) but i wish more people decided just to have a sort of transatlantic miss piggy voice because it was what actors simply DO (pronounced like a very slow "dew")

also halfway through she gets bored and picks up her water glass and fishes out an ice cube to put more ice in her rocks glass...chaotic

lots of new #penpalooza members (I think post NYT shout out) which means lots of new questions, so here are some answers! but you can also find answers at penpalooza.com (we have a FAQ section!)

1) you sign up for your initial pen pal match here: elfster.com/gift-exchanges…

2) it is going to look like a secret santa exchange! it is not! we are just using secret santa software! this leads to some confusion, as in, when you get a match it says you have a gift to send. what that means in this case is you have a letter to send!

3) it looks like it is closed or the deadline to sign up past! this is an elfster glitch! the exchange is very much open (indefinitely at this point!).

4) you get one match in an email (check spam) within 3 days of signing up. this is the person you write to first.

considering pivoting to being a dress woman after this, aka a woman who wears dresses to casual places that do not call for dresses

i have a handful dresses from the past that i bought and cannot get rid of thinking one day i would get here...and it's around the bend, i can feel it

i'd like to pivot to florence welch's closet, if i am being honest

it's soup season, so i am opening a thread here for you to make an argument for what you think is the best soup. please, be bold. be confident in your thinking.

ok i'll say it: cream of tomato is the best soup. i will take it ANY day over soup with chunks in it. i'm expecting to get blowback for this.

also: french onion is UP there. is it just onions? yes! but it earns its keep
