They’re saying no woman has ever been so beautiful and slimy.
There is no better feeling as a woman than anticipating a huge shower with lots of creams. I’m about to get slimed up later.

As someone who does this for a living, I do believe the general public would be surprised by how many elected officials run their own social media accounts. It is more than everyone seems to believe, yet not the people everyone seems to think is doing it themselves.

The Libby experience is being put on a 572 week hold for each book or having 25 holds become available at once, no in between.

Been a long time since I’ve consumed a book this long in one night but I couldn’t put it down.

Not surprised that @taranarmstrong.bsky.social managed to capture the mess + brilliance of #BigBrother because he’s the perfect person to do so. Pick this up if you’re even kinda interested in BB

No judgement, just a differing opinion, but I read I Who Have Never Known Men two years ago and found it OK™️ and don’t understand why it’s suddenly so hyped. I wish I connected with it the way everyone else did but now I skip recs from people who include that as a five star.
