I just realized I feel really strongly about our culture’s absence of adults making lunch for other adults. Sure, we do brunches and dinners, but when was the last time a friend made you a nice sandwich with some orange boats, and am I totally losing my mind? Yes.

It’s like a grandmother thing, grandmothers would make you a nice quesadilla with some salsa on the side or a nice English muffin pizza but grandmothers aren’t a permanent resource.

Normalize adults platonically making lunch for other adults.

There should be a pickle on the side, most of the time. I don’t want to micromanage, but it should NEVER be a sweet one.

Look some of you are “but MY grandmother never” or “But I don’t LIKE pickles” about this thread and I’m not making any of you lunch.

Wrote a poem about lunch now, this is out of control

I think I should be the next Bachelorette after Michelle, it would be fun for my husband

Just a Bachelorette in her late thirties, Covid-chubby and sick of all people but especially men

For this date we’re going to make sure you voted, and not for that guy, won’t that be fun?

Having one of those moments you realize a thing you’ve called an object your entire life may have been made up by my family. Help me out, what do you call these segments?

My entire universe is crumbling rn

They are boats I tell you, they are BOATS

Vaccines are safe and effective and I’m glad to have one. However, I wish that places noting how few vaccinated cases of delta we’re seeing would note they’re only tracking vaccinated *hospitalized* cases, and Long Covid can still happen, as far as we know, with mild ones.

I wish more data, or any data, would come out on LC/vaccinated cases, but I have friends and loved ones dropping all precautions fully because they’re vaccinated and I very much worry this opens them up to a little-understood chronic and possibly lifetime illness.

I can promise you this, not only do you not want a chronic illness, you do not want to throw yourself on the mercy of the American way of dealing with chronic illness, which is to put you on a rotating treadmill of expensive specialists who won’t talk to each other.

I have loved the olympics all my life. But I don’t know if the best way to celebrate our athletes is to put their lives at risk.

A year and a half in, and the resounding messsge I am getting from the world on Covid is that individual lives do not matter, on the survival of systems - corporations, governments, industries - matter.

If the Olympics survives, a few athletes with long Covid or worse, doesn’t seem to matter. If Amazon survives, a few dead warehouse workers doesn’t seem to matter. A GOP politician gets re-elected, what do a few of his constituents dying due to his vaccine scaremongering matter?
