- My 13yo: Aquaman is wearing a scrunchie on his wrist. Me: No he's not. Oh, wait, you're right. #Oscars
- The transition from pole dancing to little kids singing at the Super Bowl was the fastest play of the night so far.
- Your 20s are lonelier than you expect. They’re glamorized in culture as the time of your life. The truth is, when you leave college, you leave the tightest, largest concentration of people your age. You’ll have to fight for community. Seek it out. Be deliberate. #GradAdvice
- I told an 18yo the other day that I used to get @netflix delivered to me in the mail and I’m pretty sure he thought I was lying.
- I’ve made a list of all the good things that happen when you compare yourself to other people: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
- Jenny went to the car dealership today. They told her they could repair her car but it would take a few days. She asked if they sold the part she needed. They said yes. She bought it, fixed it herself in the parking lot and drove home. I married Wonder Woman.
- Is there an emoji for, "I saw your text but didn't know how to perfectly respond to it so I waited until I knew exactly what to say but it's been three weeks so now I just feel microbursts of shame every time I see your name in the elephant graveyard of messages on my phone?"
- I don’t think we should immediately shove a camera and a microphone in the face of a 15yo who has just survived a school shooting minutes ago. That’s for ratings not healing. We need their voices but not in the 1st minutes of PTSD. We use victims as props and it’s gross.
- Dear Olympics commentators, at the beginning of each figure skating couple please let us know if the couple loves each other or if he’s in the friendzone.
- Dear @Delta, today, when we landed in Northwest Arkansas, the bags were slow to get loaded into the jetway. The pilot came out and started unloading them himself. (A lot of leaders forget they can carry a bag, too.) It was a great example of teamwork. Thanks for awesome service!
- Next time you mess something up, remember that the #Oscars had a year and a $10 million dollar budget to get it right and they messed up.
- The thing I like about Pentatonix is that they're super talented and they kind of dress like a crime fighting kung fu team. #Grammys
- I’m in an Uber. Driver is working 80 hours a week at two jobs so he can afford to return to Kenya and marry his girlfriend to start a family. Everyone has a story.
