The corset was worn in the Victorian era for bust support and to hold heavy skirts. But before the 16th century, some tribes made females wear corsets from childhood to womanhood until marriage, when they would be taken off by the groom, slowly, to demonstrate self-control. #WomensHistoryMonth

Difficult to emphasize just how much a generation of kids has been taught that being dishonest, superficial, and narcissistic is the pathway to attention and therefore success

The stupidity that walks among us is staggering. We’re doomed.

OMG new conspiracy theory I just learned from my 11 yo. The Wilt Chamberlain 100 point game never happened because there's no video of it.

Everyone needs to stop the applause for Trump. She wasn’t fired. Just given a new position. Everyone should be so fortune when their performance reviews are less than stellar.

Three down. So many more to go.

“I’ve never seen a Secretary of Defense behave this way.”

Today, don’t use your energy to worry. Use it to believe.

You will never find a more joyful performer on the planet. Love her to death! youtube.com/watch?v=lpc1...

No one ever feels ready. Ready is a decision. Not a feeling.

Just a reminder to the 932 Billionaires in the US. See trickle down is not where the engine of capitalism comes from. Handing more money to you guys does not mean you make more jobs. You make more jobs when there is more demand. And that means when we the people have more disposable income.

BREAKING: As many as 150 U.S. troops have been wounded in the war with Iran, according to sources familiar—far higher than the Pentagon’s publicly disclosed figure of just 8 seriously wounded troops. The true toll of this war is already far worse than the public has been told. (Reuters)

There’s no such thing as government funded. It’s all taxpayer funded.

Haha. The roommate trying.

Filtered light, dusty shelves, quiet hours, and endless adventures. Yes please.

It's difficult to end a war if you don't know why you started it in the first place.

Nothing lasts forever. So live it up, drink it down, laugh it off, avoid the drama, take the chances, And never have regrets. Because at one point everything you did was exactly what you wanted.

One more because it is a true favourite. youtu.be/8L1UngfqojI?...

Can we get some actual journalists in the Pentagon press pool?

This spoke to me today. Sending love and light for your Tuesday.

As the father of a teenage girl who is going through teenage girl drama all I can say is that if we really wanted to take down Trump all we need to do is send a legion of teenage girls to DC to mock him relentlessly until he cries and quits.

Australian Annette Kellermann (pro swimmer, writer, and vaudeville performer) was one of the first women to wear a one-piece swimsuit and pose while doing so. Some thought it was inappropriate, and Kellermann was arrested for indecent exposure in 1907.

Nobody goes through more shit in life than a person with a good heart. - Keanu Reeves

Every atrocity in history began with someone deciding who counts as human.

Kids grow fast, and so do we. This fall, we're adding more than 1,000 seats for universal 3-K in 56 zip codes. Childcare will be more accessible and affordable across all five boroughs.

Let’s get one thing straight: We are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian. Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.

Kathrine Switzer signed up for the Boston Marathon under the name K.V. Switzer in 1967, because women weren't allowed to compete in the event at the time. Not long afterwards, officials removed the ban. Then Switzer went on to win the New York City Marathon in 1974. (Photo Getty Images)

NBC’s Richard Engel: “The White House meme campaign is outraging many former US military commanders… they say only someone who has never really seen combat would think it’s a joke and put out material like this.”

The L.A. Marathon ends at Ave. of the Stars in Century City but the street lacks the allure of yesteryear, when premieres & drive-up to ABC Entertainment Center (incl. Plitt & Shubert theaters) really did leave you starry-eyed. Century City's soul was razed along with it in 2004.

For the first time in history, you can just say, “he’s an idiot.” And 90% of the world will know who you’re talking about.

Close some doors today. not because of pride, incapacity or arrogance, but simply because they lead you nowhere. - Paulo Coelho

He’s also sending Witkoff and Kushner to Israel on Tuesday. Probably nothing to do with global markets cratering and oil going parabolic

Trump is threatening to not sign any bills into law until the SAVE Act is approved by the Senate.. With the current make up of Congress and the crappy bills they pass, that's not really the threat he thinks it is.

So I’m clear 3 countries, all whose government’s are propped up by religious fervor & impotent rage, are converging on each other with Putin stirring But the End Times are coming because I’m sharing a bathroom with someone whose mom accidentally named her Steve at birth. Have I got that right?

Sweet dreams 😴
