Post you from a different era. (2005)

It’s insane that she’s 35, I feel like the cultural perception of her is that she’s a child who needs to be protected from all critique.

A true thing about me is that I wrote my first poyim as a child in Texas and was so embarrassed about how I said the word that I didn’t say it for YEARS until I started my BFA program and would quietly say “poem” to myself over and over in my room.

Does this mean they’re in age gap relationships? I think the youngest Millennial is what, 29? College age girls are 18ish? Weird power dynamic there. (Or potential for one.)

Molli and Max in the Future is a delightful (mostly) two-hander with some very wry romcom shorthand. #amwatching
Aristotle Athari and stars Zosia Mamet smile at one another across a table with a blue-toned futuristic skyline visible in the large window behind them.

Look at her, she’s perfect. My mom used to use the lighter to burn off the plastic tags from things when she didn’t have scissors.
Screenshot of an eBay item: a wide ashtray drawer with a sort of hinge at the back and a round press-in coil lighter with an icon of a cigarette. The item title reads: “MAZDA PROTEGE 97 1997 NON SMOKER DASH ASHTRAY & UNUSED LIGHTER.”

Bring back ashtrays in cars. The ones that pull out like a drawer? So useful.
