Some AI tool summarized my Twitter vibe. Consider this my new bio I guess.
The absolute irony of moving from Utah to Maryland thinking it would be nice to pick up a bottle of wine at the grocery while shopping, only to realize all alcohol, even beer, is outlawed in grocery stores here. Utah’s alcohol laws aren’t nearly as weird as they’re made out to be
'bars in grocery stores' is a trend I'll admit I did not see coming
This is in the running for the stupidest things I have ever read.
Summers when you have one kid, no day-camp, are the primary at-home parent, and just need 10 min of alone time.
This thread was inspired by the fact that my neighbor texted me a few days ago to say please come take from his garden while he’s out of town on vacation. And we just did. And it had me in my thoughts and feels, while my hands smell like basil and rosemary.
It takes longer but being part of your neighborhood community is the real deal. Church communities are often a shortcut to that, and end up being a genuine community too, but truly living among, relying upon, and serving those with whom you live in close proximity to is such…

It’s summer time and I absolutely loathe that inviting someone over to eat peaches and cream while we Netflix and chill means anything other than WHAT IT LITERALLY MEANS!
PSA: Pie and Beer Day doesn’t exist to trigger the Mormons. This is main character energy we don’t need. It’s not all about you, K?
Hot take alert: I think Pittsburgh is maybe a little too proud of Primanti Bros. Like, the food and travel shows have simply GOT to find someone else, anything else, in that city to feature. It’s an awesome city, stop being lazy! Fries on a hand-smashed sando is mid in 2025, OK?
Me existing in the world: My brain: WHY ISN’T EVERYONE OBSESSED WITH THE HISTORY OF JOHN BROWN AND THE SECRET SIX???
