I read this while sitting at the eye dr waiting for my daughter. Pretty soon I need to take her back to school and do other super important activities.

I was just so overwhelmed by the vitriol on Twitter that I needed some fresh vibes.

I am so empathetic as to where you are coming from on this Lisa. I’m totally posting this to my Insta if that’s ok.

I have, like, 19 more errands to run today but taking the time to truly be still and present and read your work has been so cleansing.

What a useful guide, Lisa! I have always especially struggled with vaguebooking. This will help immensely.

This is both hilarious and oh so true. It's like social media was designed as the ideal soil for narcissists to THRIVE!

Hilarious. This reminds me of someone I know whose grandma was on her deathbed. Each day was a series of selfies of her perfectly manicured hand holding her grandmas limp hand with an LV handbag always in the frame. Incredible.

Uncaptioned hospital selfie for the win. I mean, that's not only peak narcissist but also the start of a perfect scam, especially if a GoFundMe appears within an hour of the post.
