It’s been a minute since I used Twitter for updates. But confronted with >evils, I’ll be migrating pithy observations to Instagram.com/bethyev. Apologies for shameless yoga plugging that happens there. 💕 to the OG #twitterwidows. Y’all pulled me through the fire.

Not sure what to think that a friend’s husband’s nickname for me is “Girl Chris Farley.” I think there’s a compliment re: my humor but also the bloated OD’ing situation.

Dear @ChipotleTweets, @dunkindonuts, etc: I identify as “next person in line” as an living human in your establishment, independent of your app orders. This is my truth, and you are disrespecting my identity when you take and fulfill online orders ahead of my standing-here self.

Just sent second child to first day of college classes. Feeling many feelings, but mostly “goddamn right I was a solo parent, and I rocked the fuck outta it.”

“Keep one’s regular routine and refuse to show agitation.” You mean #keepcalmandcarryon?

Dear gay men of London: thank you for buying my son all the drinks, but I fear he’s taken advantage of your hospitality and generosity in that way dumb cis white boys have done for 1000s years.

Kids: are you pregaming the flight?! Us: shuddup

“Suffering occurs when the all the rules we artificially assign to pain—that it should be meaningful, temporary, and diagnosable—break down.”

Wondering how many quotes attributed to Confucius/Buddha are actually Goethe bastardizations.

“You must always read through anything before you sign your name. Your signature is the same as giving your word, and keeping your word is the mark of a man’s character. In the end, it is the most valuable thing a man possesses.“

Yes, that was me coming from yoga blasting @Eminem Recovery thru the stereo of my tiny electric car. Windows were down bc it was in EcoPro+ mode, which means no AC. Fear my middle-age white woman self.

I preach self-care a lot, but in truth I find it boring, tedious & expensive. #keepingyogareal

I have seen the revolution, and it starts with $8/gallon milk and $5/gallon gas.

Sometimes - rarely - I am amazed by what my 49-year-old self can do. Photo by fabulous @ethereallove.co; hot vinyasa class by Syd S @thenestmovement #yoga #teacherneedsateacher #birthday #49 instagram.com/p/CeljnVVOUfO/…

Actual traffic sign in DE: “Y’all need to relax. You’ll get there.”

Several useful articles covering the many aspects of abortion, which is simply healthcare. Paywall hopefully coming down for this issue (would be great if the “paywall” for abortion access would come down too).

“The only wave that changes anything is a tsunami.” - The Power, Naomi Alderman (my Roe v Wade reading)

The entire opticians office singing along with Ed Sheeran is incredibly joyful #thinkingoutloud

Anyone else ever wonder exactly what Vincent was doing in France? Like, did he take a European vacation to chill out or was he there on business? #royalewithcheese
