I’ve watched some bad movies lately. Break me out of the slump. Which should I watch next? Here’s a poll:
The results said I should watch Tick Tick… Boom! first. Since I never saw it on Broadway, I thought it made sense to watch Rent The Musical The Movie first. Boy, was that a mistake.
Wait. I was at an event where this guy got an award. I don’t know his character’s name yet. Not Garfield. Garfield’s roommate.
Look at all these cameos in the diner! #TickTickBoom
I didn’t finish Tick tick Boom. 🥴 Maybe later.
I watched most of West Side Story yesterday. I fast forwarded through the racists. 🤷🏾♀️
Loved seeing Rita Moreno in this retelling. I understand the love for @ArianaDeBose. Collect your things, Sis. You deserve.

I have something to share. Tomorrow. I’m so excited about it that I’m vibrating. Whole thing was like a dream. Watch this space.
Me all day today:
I believe that God can dream a bigger dream for you than you can dream for yourself. I know that’s true because never in my wildest dreams did I see myself having brunch and conversation with @colmandomingo and @AudraEqualityMc!! They both have such generous spirits.
And it’s gone. I’d be highly suspicious of patronizing @Chefshivambu. Gotta wonder what his food tastes like if he’s stealing other peoples dishes for clout.
I think there’s a way to let kids have choices when it comes to eating, & it’s often wrapped in privilege. Can one afford to take your kid shopping and let them pick different veggies to try? Does one have the time to find/cook a recipe using it instead of the faster ol’ standby?
We need to recognize that sometimes we heard “Eat what I make or don’t eat!” because that’s the only thing there was. Or that’s the only thing our caregiver had time to make. Sometimes it came from a place of scarcity.
If that’s not OUR story now, we can/should change that.
*If* you have the resources to expand your child’s palate at a young age, it’s helpful. It also gives your kid some agency. “Which veggie/protein should we have tonight?” Is an easy way to get them involved AND increase the chance of them finishing because they picked it.
FYI: The @USPS has a thing called Informed Delivery. Every day, you get an email telling you what mail will be delivered that day. They take pics of the envelopes. You may not think you need this... until you don't get something you've been sort of expecting. 1/ #Thread
I applied to renew @DHSgov Global Entry months ago, finally had my in person interview, & was approved. They sent out my new card, replacing my expired one. @USPSHelp said it would be delivered on July 6. I never got it, or any of the other mail that day, including tax docs.
I went out of town w/o it. Now I'm back and... I'm 2 days late in reporting it missing. None of my mail that day had tracking numbers, so I have no way to track it down. Talked to my @USPS carrier today & she shrugged nicely. I wouldn't even have known w/o Informed Delivery.
