4 day weekend. Happy night with my hubby.

At some point a decade ago, I got put erroneously into some database as having worked at Pinterest and have since gotten a myriad of outreach emails from recruiters referencing my “impressive experience” at a company I never worked for.

Since the show has gotten a minor woke-up call, maybe it can continue on that journey by popularizing teachings from “The Ethical Slut” or, at a minimum, that love is never 0-sum. End the self-torture from toxic monogamy culture. #TheBachelor
