      World War Z audiobook thoughts:
      
      - Still a pretty solid narrative!
      - Excellent cast
      - Shame it’s abridged
      - Gotdang this would have made an excellent premiere TV series in the 2010s
      - “This was the most pro-business administration; FDA approval was a joke” 🥲🥲🥲

      Dani is still in need of about $2000 for rent, utilities, groceries, and car payment. If you are able to spare anything for this sweet Minneapolis family, I would really appreciate it and I know they would too!

      yea i am very much of the belief that public presence social media is a dying breed. finding ways to build small communities that have built in trust mechanics - regardless of how strong or loose those mechanics are - is where things are going. a big part of the rise of group chats imo

      So cute watching my kid eat my favorite flavor of ice cream when he knows that mint is my pregnancy food aversion. 
      
      Rude but strategic way to keep my spoon at bay. 💡
