Does anyone know if @OrbWellness went kaput? I love their sleep complex, but. I think they’ve shut production of vitamins down.

I’m Smita Avasthi, a daughter of Hindu immigrants. I dream big of an America where people are unafraid to be who they are and have the power to become who they want to be, regardless of sex, gender, race, or class. I choose Warren bc she isn’t afraid to fight for all of us.

I wonder how much money Bloomberg carries around with him. If only there were some way we could stop him on the street for no reason to search through his pockets.

I don’t know if you’ve all realized this, but there doesn’t seem to be a lot of room for nuanced views about the various Democratic candidates on this platform!

I'll vote for any Democrat the party nominates, Donald Trump is a horror show, but I ask those of like mind to remember a quote from George Santayana: "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

I know this is not at all a new point, but I can't tell y'all how much I love and appreciate public libraries. I love them as a parent. I love them as a researcher. I love them as a writer. I love them as a reader. Shout out to universal public goods & services.

Since Trump’s rise to the nation’s highest office, his inflammatory language has seeped into schools across America. The president's rhetoric has changed the way hundreds of children are bullied in American classrooms, The Post has found. wapo.st/trumpbullying

It’s my birthday. I planned to make duck confit & mushroom risotto. By “making duck confit,” I mean “crisping packaged duck confit.” But still. Yet I feel sick today. So. I guess chicken soup & self-pity? It’s a winning combination. Maybe I’ll feel better in a few hours.
