- Reposted by RenitaJavier, our CEO, wanted to check in with everybody. He hopes you're doing alright. If not, you're welcome to take a few deep breaths with him and think of something you're looking forward to. Javi is looking forward to the Bad Bunny halftime show ❤️

- Friday. Okay. This week hasn't been as productive as I'd hoped but there's still time for good things to happen. And I'll start by washing my hair.
- This is a ridiculously ugly house for 1.8 million
- @katewagner.wehwalt.net KATE YOU NEED TO SEE THIS HOUSE
- Gonna be honest, I don't really care about Stancil one way or another, we have bigger fish to fry than whether someone is personally annoying to you. The arguing over it is far dumber.

- Yoshi would love a snuggle.
- Reposted by RenitaOne of the reasons I so greatly dislike the “can men and women be friends?” nonsense (yes, full stop, shut up) is that it casts suspicion on people with opposite-sex friends instead of where it more often belongs: on people with no opposite-sex friends.
- Just got a formal rejection for a job I applied to in October, so that's how today is going apparently.
- Reposted by RenitaPeaking in Pink. This morning's sunrise in Chicago.
- I use DoorDash/GrubHub VERY rarely, and part of that is all the fees and markups and part of that is I know my food will actually be warm if I get it myself.
- Reposted by RenitaWestboro Baptist Church tried to make an Anti-Luigi Mangione poster but it just looks like Luigi is threatening billionaires and goes unironically hard af

- I took my first journalism class my freshman year of high school. I kept going. I reported some stories I was really proud of, I studied photography, I studied editing. I was a senior reporter, opinion editor, photography editor and chief copy editor of my college paper. I was a Media Fellow. 🧵
- I'm not new to job searching but I've had all kinds of new things happen during this search. The most baffling is a recruiter who emailed me to set up a phone screen, I replied with good times, and she ghosted me. Even the bad recruiters usually close the loop!
- Finished Our Flag Means Death tonight and I can see why the fans were so distraught. It ended in a lovely way but there was definitely more story to tell.
- Yoshi's tummy behaved last night and we all slept through the night. Let's keep it up, pup.
- I come from Anabaptists so basically they bounced around looking for a country that wouldn't force them into the military
