I'd like to thank the people who buy the gift bags. Because of you, I have never had to buy a gift bag. Thank you, from the bottom of my large gift bag filled with smaller gift bags.

Made my Broadway debut with #FreestyleLoveSupreme last night! I told a true story & they retold it in hip hop song. How it started: Drunk Chimpanzee Drags Girl Across Parking Lot. @freestylelove @aneesafolds @kailamullady @anthveneziale @tarikrdavis @Lin_Manuel

My mom taught me to treat others the way I wanted to be treated, but you’d be surprised how many people don't want their shoulders massaged while in line at the grocery store.

My uterus is retired, but keeps showing up for work like, "you got anything for me to do?"

I want you to know that you are worthy of love, acceptance, healing, and happiness. In all of history, there has only been one you. There will only ever be one you. This world needs the weird, messed up, one-of-a-kind you in it. You are worth fighting for. Keep fucking going.
Radical acceptance inclusivity love (period)

The tests came back. First, the good news. You don't have hypochondria.

I'm not usually vengeful, but when I am it's because someone gave my kid a whistle.

It’s weird that people ask why I am a writer, as if I had any choice in the matter.

I've watched children lick animals, shag carpet, a handrail at the zoo, the sidewalk, and a chair leg at the mall so evolution is done now.

I always abbreviate follow up as f/u because you should have gotten back to me.

As you watch #Hamilfilm, remember it's art and they took a few liberties (thread) 1. When Angelica met Hamilton she was already married with two children. 2. There were actually DOZENS of high drama rap battles during Washington's presidency, not just the two.

3. Benjamin Franklin was single-handedly responsible for choreographing the dance at Yorktown that won the war. And he isn't even mentioned in the show! 4. Peggy was a ruthless spy who fed sensitive intel to the British. #Hamilfilm (2/3)

5. Though he was known for singing throughout his presidency, James Madison was actually tone-deaf. His cat-like yowling is said to haunt the White House halls to this day. I'll let you find the rest... #Hamifilm (3/3)
