Love is not being the waste receptacle of your partner’s trauma.

At some point I just had it with friends/relatives who love to spout out political punditry that’s solely grounded on their feelings and biases. It’s people being so certain about things that they don’t have the full view about that brought us to this timeline.

What a time to crave Cab Cafe’s napoleones when there’s no more Cab Cafe in Kapitolyo.

I want a vacation where the agenda is to read books in a breathtaking setting, have massages, eat grand meals, sleep, then repeat!

My kid preserves her Duolingo streaks by opening the app in the morning during breakfast. I love these Gen Alpha kids.

Don’t get me wrong, I like it here. But I really need the asshole humor and meme game Twitter has.

I’m really into HBO’s Like Water For Chocolate mini series. I read and loved the book as a teen, and one of the best things to see come to life are the RECIPES.

Styled by Miyako Bellizi for Scenes From A Marriage! 😍 (and the last outfit is my favorite!)
Of these three outfits, which do you like best? Please decide before reading the next tweet. 🧵

A friend asked my 9-year-old about our recent Japan trip.

Him: How did you like Japan?

Her: I loved it! But I don’t think I’d fit in.

Him: Why is that?

Her: Because I laugh too loud.

I associate this too much with Pearl Jam’s Binaural album.

My favorite part of The Penguin was seeing the backend operations of Bliss. What kind of business acumen do you need to run a successful drug empire? And do you truly track inventory by pencil and paper?!

My daughter was running late to ⚽️ practice and I put on the F1 theme inside the car to lighten the mood. Maintaining your sense of humor seems to apply to most stressful situations, yeah?

In this video from Pianote, the multi-talented Jon Baptiste hears Green Day’s Holiday for the first time (drum & vocals only) and is challenged to come up with a piano accompaniment for it — and he really *really* gets into it. [kottke.org]

I already have it loaded on my Kindle. I can’t wait.
The best book review we’ve ever had in the library was for Orbital. The borrower kissed the cover as she returned it, because she’d loved it so much.

Tell me, what is your favorite non-coffee beverage to drink in the morning?

Lately I’m liking matcha with oat milk!

I joined Twitter in 2009 and I couldn’t imagine leaving it. Blue Sky is looking really promising, I just need more friends in here and Filipino meme accounts. 🇵🇭

The funnest thing I designed this year was my daughter’s fundraiser t-shirt for her class.

The best thing from last weekend was this road trip view and a choice playlist.

Elsbeth Season 2 is so good. I didn’t realize how much I needed to see Nathan Lane as an uptight yet deranged opera fan.

Cafe brand identity with restraint! Quiet graphics that allow the interiors to take centerstage. Chef’s kiss!

My 9-year-old just watched The Corpse Bride for the first time. She was devastated by the ending. Why couldn’t Victor, Victoria, and Emily figure out a throuple situation, she said. She didn’t actually say throuple, but that’s the gist.
