Someone just DM'd me 'Have you been on Heather Havrilesky for a while now?? I feel like everything I read from her is like, “this is the best thing I’ve ever read". I feel like you mentioned her a long time ago' and I got to say "YEAH HOMIE BEEN READING HER SINCE THE FUCKIN 90s" so thanks for giving me that Dubai taco feeling of being a real culture connoisseur.

Shit! How do I change my vote from Fuck AI to Jesus you're hot, then to Take the money but back again to Fuck AI?

That's how I feel.

“You speak without hesitation, you slay, you ate, period, no notes, no cap, no crumbs.” Best sentence ever. The “no cap” sealed it. 😂

The funny part is that I've been to Dubai several times and there actually is a restaurant called 'Bara B' serving a dish called Dubai Tacos! I didn't have them, but I recall wanting to order them as I was reading the menu. By the way, instead of chickpeas they had beans and... I am joking ❤️

That was my 2025 joke, also coming from my renewed excellent gut ✨ I think I love you!

Thank you for sharing your friends' gofundme links. So much devastation there. I also have three separate friends who lost everything, and probably a few more that are quieter on the socials. Hug everyone you love and maybe all the people you can tolerate okay and SHOW UP for each other. XOXOXOX
