Can’t decide if I like the new BUR airport terminal. It’s like a real airport now 🙃 RIP old BUR you were pretty great as you were

Came on here to share what I just found out - Souplantation | Sweet Tomatoes is making a comeback!!! 😍🎉😋🍅

Had 8 meetings yesterday 💀 oh, and I have 8 meetings today too. HOWWWW I’m so tired.

So are we ever going to get new iPhones minis…? I know the answer but a girl can dream 🙇🏻‍♀️

OH someone shouting in their phone: “Why are you fckin with AI? It’s a plumbing problem!”

Our Lyft driver yesterday admitted to applying for fraudulent PPP loans during covid 🙃 while driving us in a Maserati and applauding taking advantage of systems with loopholes. *sigh* she was so funny up til then too…

Uh…just got an Amber Alert and it linked to a twitter post. wtf?

So thankful I live in a time and place where migraine meds exist. That’s all 😮‍💨

If you can’t figure out that aluminum soda cans can’t be composted, I don’t think you should be working at Apple. Just sayin 😒

Help - our scheduled Lyft turned out to be a Cybertruck. Will we make it to the airport in one piece…? 🥲

It’s 100° in LA right now 🫠 and it’s climbing

First time visiting someone right after a major surgery…is it always this jarring? Someone tell me things will be ok.

Ughhhhh SF your politics are not progressive enough for me. I mean, I’m not surprised but watching these election results come in is killing me.

How old were you when you realized all those “owls” you thought you heard growing up are just mourning doves? ☹️ No? Just me? I’m just gonna keep pretending they’re owls bc that sounds more whimsical🦉

Yeah it’s been a while since I’ve been in middle school but I’ve forgotten how unabashedly racist kids are. Just had one kid yelling into my ear and hitting me with his gestures as he talked shit to another kid standing on the other side of me. Yikes.
