Before and after. MUAs are magic. Thank you so much Aubrielle. My face hit the pavement full force on Saturday, and I had a final interview for my dream job today. Thank you for helping me feel confident and ready to conquer the task at hand today. ♥️♥️ Now we wait for results!

To whatever fellow queer person (or ally) at @washingtonpost chose to publish their exposé on Kim Mulkey’s homophobia literally the minute after her team won… – at Washington, DC

Popsicles like these help a ton; they’re literally just sugar water and they’re cold. I’ve always just puked immediately at anything carbonated (autism/ARFID thing, not a GI), but if you can handle carbonation, in theory full sugar sodas, ginger ale, etc may work too. – at Washington, DC

This is an iconic (and hilarious) idea. Give us a photo of them in their normal life, where they live, their relationship to you/the groom, and a rattlesnake sound effect button.

As you can tell from the photos, it’s an absolute blast of an afternoon. This will be my 7th Hope for Kids event, and it’s my favorite day of the year. If you’ve got a few hours to spare November 5th, we’ve got costumes aplenty you can borrow. DM me for more info. ♥️

DMV friends! Are you free November 5 + want to provide an unforgettable experience for children living in DC homeless shelters? Come join us at @EOBirthdays’s Hope for Kids festival. You’d be volunteering w/ us to play games, hand out prizes, + have a dance party or five. (a 🧵) – at Washington, DC

I’m so glad for you that you got to start with the G6. The G4 and G5 insertion was fairly brutal by comparison, and absolutely would’ve been much harder for the both of you from a sensory standpoint.

Today’s pickup. $2,000 for one month of Humalog. Just infuriating.

Friendly reminder that insulin *pricing* still hasn’t changed in the U.S. If I was uninsured, the retail price of one month of the drug I die without is $2,000. One month.

My husband’s parents are flying across the country today to visit my parents in Iowa. My mom made this sign for when she picks them up at the airport. 😭 – at Washington, DC

This is not a sentence written by someone who knows SNAP, whether that’s by personal or professional experience. 🙄
