Pizza to the Polls is an awesome nonprofit that helps feed the people who have to wait in long lines for hours to vote thanks to voter suppression. Donate if you can! (And obviously vote.) #democracyisdelicious polls.pizza/donate

I'm happy to have found comfortable sweatpants, but if they could be slightly less unflattering, that'd be great. (Who decided that joggers should be the trend? I'd like to have a word with them...)

I was today years old when I realized I have no idea to spell “pepperoni” after the “pepper” part. (All credit to autocorrect for spelling it correctly here, lol.) 🍕

Delayed emotional processing sucks because when people ask, "Why didn't you tell me that bothered you earlier?" you need to explain that it normally takes 3-5 business days to realize you were bothered.
