    Petey Cat yarked so loudly the other night I heard it through my Sleepphones-and-white-noise isolation kit and became convinced the Snook was choking to death beside me. I sat up and yelled, I’m told. 😐 https://t.co/DaXGi8nIGh


    I did not buy any toilet paper today. I did however spend $23 on a goddamn 250g bag of coffee beans, because evidently Chippendale is turning into fricking Surry Hills, and everything is awful, and I’ve just given up fighting.


    Ah, Mardi Gras. Turns out six hours of makeup, glitter, and sweat is not that great for your complexion. 😱 https://t.co/GOrMUA9iak


    @chaitanyakuber It better be.


    @malcolmsheridan We bought like a mattress size pack at Costco six months ago… still working through it.

    @gilmae I don’t understand how we had the same couch cover and ours looked DESTROYED and yours still looks brand new.

    How Ramona Quimby Taught a Generation of Girls to Embrace Brashness https://t.co/6foM4qmxV5 – I wrote a uni admissions essay about how Ramona was my hero, and I *always* squeeze the toothpaste in the middle. https://t.co/DihjFiXfDP


    And yet yesterday I found myself giving advice to a young woman in the tech industry who wants to know how to get men in meetings to shake her hand and respect her opinion.


    I patiently explained how she could sand off the sharp edges of herself to fit better, to signal to them that she knew how to play the game. I told her that we all have to decide how much of this we’re willing to do.

    She was grateful for the advice. I hated myself.


    There’s not really much more to it, other than the fact that I just read the Ramona article and it made me really really sad.


    @gilmae I had a wild impulse to lie to her, decided to tell the truth, and by the end of it was confessing all my own worst insecurities. And this was someone who looks up to me, and sees me as a role model. 😕

    Men friends – do you see this stuff too? Are these bots, or just another shitty part of being a woman on the Internet? You get followed by a guy with a weird name, only a few photos that look like a dating ad, and they are following hundreds of women. It just feels gross. https://t.co/vwHaJkwpYS


    @mattgillard LOL. I only saw the one at first. 😂


    And this isn’t a one off. It happens over and over. (I block them.)


    I should say that I’m aware of the porn bots, and occasionally get those too. But most of these accounts feel more realistic. A shocking number of them are men in the military. I just… I dunno. Maybe this is legit how single men are trying to meet women these days?


    @kcm74 I’ve seen more obvious bots… but sad middle-aged men? With no obvious linked scam? Maybe the idea is I engage and it turns into a Nigerian scam.


    @randomknits YES, that too!
