Is the whole plot of that new Netflix show, Sirens, just one long anti-Buffalo, NY campaign…

Working on a piece about how parents talk to their kids about *their own* cannabis use now that it’s more socially accepted. Looking to hear from parents + experts (psychologists, pediatricians, substance use counselors). DMs open or email me if you’re up for chatting!

Working on a feature about people using social media to share their terminal illness journeys -- from diagnosis to small wins. Inspired by voices like Brooke Eby. If you're documenting your story on IG, TikTok, YouTube, etc., I'd love to hear from you. DMs open.

Hey what kind of system is it called when you pay about 50percent of your income on rent?

I decided that instead of spending my time writing tonight I am going to learn the dance break choreography from Britney's I'm a Slave 4 U and I promise it'll be just as good of use as my time

i do my best work 5 hours before deadline.

There’s just something about me that makes a server say “let me bring you more napkins” before I even begin eating.

The number of clothing items I own that aren't stained with a coffee spill is rapidly declining.

I'm rewatching Vanderpump Rules from the beginning with my boyfriend (who has never seen it) and I can't fucking believe we all thought Stassi was one of the villains back then????

sometimes just screaming I DON'T KNOOOOWWWWW at my computer when I am having trouble writing really loosens up the gears to go.

“I didn’t leave Texas just to have a son with a mullet still,” I sob inside as I say "yes, child, you can do whatever you want with your hair; it’s your body."

For a story, I'm looking to speak with women who have experienced a cancer diagnosis while pregnant. #journorequest

The scariest part of my day is not the crushing anxiety and doom, it’s having to take that one really large pill in my medication regime. Will this time be the time I choke as my cat watches me slowly lose consciousness and die on the kitchen floor? Who’s to say!

Nbd just me and one of my besties hugging and crying saying I WOULD NEVER FLY AWAY WITHOUT YOU at the end of Wicked

found an old Best Buy gift card with $10 on it. My financial future is looking bright.

My tween is taking the Red Cross babysitting course, and I’m learning so much about parenting maybe I should take it too. Wait am qualified to be a parent?

If it’s this exhilarating experiencing a hotel full of Swifties the day before the Eras show, I can’t imagine what tonight’s gonna be like. ✨🫶 #theerastour #taylorswift

I love that hotels provide 26373 pillows per bed. The proper amount.

Two days later and still getting emails and comments from men calling me ugly re: my essay. The revolution needs to come sooner.

I’ve been a woman on the internet long enough to know that when the comments begin to turn to “well she’s not even that hot,” it means I’ve already won

Hundreds of comments on the Yahoo syndicated version and dozens of emails. Imagine if I’d actually written with the rage my experience all those years ago actually brought forth? They couldn’t handle that.

My latest for HuffPost. If you’ve ever been a woman perceived by men, this one’s for you. And if you’re a man, sshhhh. www.huffpost.com/entry/barten...

Me: this is the most fucked up book I’ve ever read. It’s made me question my sanity and moral stances (Proceeds to recommend it to five friends)

Never understand the complaints about curating your social media and online experience to be an “echo chamber.” Like yes I DO want all these people to like my things and say how funny and right I am. If I wanted to be challenged, I’d call my therapist.

I hope there’s not an iPhone Wrapped like Spotify except it will tally up the number of times I’ve had to use iCloud Find My feature to locate my phone or AirPods. Extremely embarrassing.

Living well is the best revenge but so is living so poorly you have nothing better to do than haunt them until they spiral into an inescapable madness.

becoming increasingly frustrated that upon opening descriptions for writing jobs, the phrase "train AI content" appears. fuck off.

Those hundreds (okay over 1,000 now) emails I’m leaving unread to “look at later” are gonna stay unread forever aren’t they

Googling "what was yesterday's moon phase" as a last-ditch effort to make sense of shit.

Earlier this year, I had the honor of chatting with @heykellyjensen.bsky.social and @edrabinski.bsky.social for Scary Mommy about fighting Book Bans. Now’s as good as ever to re-up the piece, considering (gestures wildly at everything) www.scarymommy.com/parenting/yo...

Hey if you saw a woman sobbing in the supplement aisle of Wegmans last night, no you didn’t.

Consciously uncoupling from reality

Recent flash CNF for the beloved @identitytheory.bsky.social

Who is ever gonna stop me from buying the audiobook version of the physical copy of a book I already own. WHO please help why do I do this.

when i say my heart is full i mean it’s full of ghosts

Tell me, what do you plan to do with your one wild and precious month of democracy?

3 yr old: “At my next birthday will I go back to normal? Will I get littler again?” Me: “no honey. Each birthday you get bigger. You’ll continue to grow. Isn’t that cool?!” 3 yr old: starts sobbing.
