#Metoo ruined lives: the women’s. For the summer issue of Bookforum, I wrote about Christine Blasey Ford’s memoir “One Way Back,” the aftermath of disclosure, and what it means to be a public survivor when storytelling has proven futile. www.bookforum.com/culture/disp...

I’m gonna try to go to sleep but if anyone wants to check on me tomorrow I’ll probably still be crying under the covers.

Anyway if you ever need to go out for a pack of cigarettes in the middle of the night and never come back it’s polite to lock the door behind you rather than leave it open during the madrugada.

You’re a bigger fan of Joes dropping out than I realized. Do you want me to mail the stuff you left at my apartment in the middle of the night to your parents house or…?

The old red pharmacy bottles? I fucking loved those. No joke, I started going to a different pharmacy specifically because they switched to regular pill bottles when CVS took over.

This awful Biden situation could’ve been avoided if the US had simply stayed under British rule and gradually transitioned to being an independent parliamentary democracy like Canada

My birthday is in the fall and I remember I can get my flu shot before it but my mom should do it after since her immunity won’t last as long. So I knew *something* on those lines!

Thanks for the reminder - I think I knew that at the beginning of vaccines (I know it is true for the elderly) but it had totally slipped my mind since then. (I’m not IC now, just like to generally be reminded of things I once knew and are important to remember.)

Every time someone claims immunocompromised people can’t take the COVID vaccine, more of my hair turns gray. It is the opposite — People who are immunocompromised need different, bigger and more frequent dosing than the rest of us to elicit an immune response.

Just buy the Wirecutter recommends ones. One set and one folder is all you need. (I own two sets and it is too many.)

I own so many pouches and I have very few regrets. My new life-hack is using reusable zip-lock bags (they come in hundreds of prints) as my pouches. Cheap pouches! Yes my chargers are dinosaur and my medications floral.

Oh got it, we have *formal* memorial services at my neighborhood dive bar with like, the deceased’s family. If you don’t want to see anyone at the service and nobody would especially care if you show up (unlike, the deceased mom, who cares) then you can skip it.

Okay actually I was gonna ask. I’ve seen a lot of dudes in my extremely diverse neighborhood wearing bass pro shop hats. I don’t *know* their politics, but might be a replacement for Tractor Supply?

You have to. Sorry. Memorial services for someone you knew are obligatory. You’ll hate yourself more if you don’t go. And yes it should be at 3 pm at the latest.

There's a bakery up the street from me where they saw my email on an order and started drawing tubas on the bags. So I saved em for a year and made a collage for them. Which they then hung up and curated like a museum piece. I love em there and they're always happy to see me ❤️

lmao I called my local coffeeshop to see if they were open today--my fave barista happened to pick up & she was like yep we're here and also we have almond lemon loaves left [one of my go-to pastries] truly if you want the benefits of being loved you must submit to the embarrassment of being known

They’ve lived there for like three years and I already missed the baby’s last birthday but I see why they call me whenever they are here because no way I would go out there for more than once a year. And I quite like them!

When I took that line more often I worked downtown so take the train downtown for an hour was baked in. And we still broke up. 😆

Well my options seem to be taking an hour to go downtown and catch the appropriate train, take an Uber for 40 minutes to grab it at Jeff Park, or take an Uber for 25 minutes from highland park? Or just take an Uber straight there for $100? All options suck.

I used to date a guy on that Metra line and we broke up over it. With that information, do you agree it makes the most sense to take the Metra to Highland Park and Uber?
