RT @jdflynn: I’m trying to set up a friend. She’s a great girl, devoutly Catholic, late 20s, and a homeowner. DM me with your qualificatio… — PolitiTweet.org

@mataphilip it's so strange -- i have the feeling of 'rooting for them' if that makes sense. i want things to go well for them — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

this is the stupidest possible instinct. "hey that girl looks like your friend sarah. in that way she's sort of sarah, therefore she's also sort of your friend." — PolitiTweet.org

i can't believe my brain is so fundamentally dumb that when i meet people who facially resemble people i already know and like, i go head and like these total strangers too — PolitiTweet.org

meanwhile in the baking lair…freshly painted fondant hibiscus are drying, some royal icing halloween bows are ready to be flaked off the acetate, some fondant monstera leaves await painting, and some happy birthday letters are glittered and ready to rock https://t.co/o8UtCMj1u2 — PolitiTweet.org

@vinh1le that's the pre getting hitched advice. this is the "but if you must" loophole. — PolitiTweet.org

@default_friend @Sevens_2 Yeah we can go ahead and break the glass, it's been a shitty year. Tis the season to be jolly!!! — PolitiTweet.org

it's not that i'm "a trinitarian" it's that God happens to be triune — PolitiTweet.org

@PaulSorrentino3 @BenJDConroy no he's an atheist — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

@BenJDConroy I also think he would in full honesty highlight a number of hmm, adult themed reasons for being happy with me/our marriage, but I don't think that's tawdry or anything. I think that set of needs is very important and meaningful, and so that's another major thing. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

@BenJDConroy For someone with some anxiety about how they relate to others and what judgments society might be making about them and their background/behavior/demeanor, I think the whole "Christmas begins Nov 1st because it's my house and I say so" attitude is refreshing and a relief — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

@BenJDConroy And I think as a very practical person he's occasionally tickled by the high level of whimsy! Waking up to rainbow colored macarons, surprise cinnamon rolls, the house fully ass decorated for Christmas, etc. And my ability to not care what anyone else thinks about stuff. Fuck it! — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

@BenJDConroy He likes that I'm chatty, because then he doesn't have to talk so much in social situations. He likes that I handle things that are important — i.e., developing relationships with neighbors, parents of our kids' friends, yadda — but that are hard for him. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

@BenJDConroy So in the presentation of a new idea, one of my jobs is to try to crush it. This is no different than when we were in debate. It's a weird skill you sort of have to learn — arguing without investment in the subject, /against/ the person but /for/ their benefit, with zero ego. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

@BenJDConroy Matt has said before that I am his favorite person to talk to in the world. I have been talking to him since he was 18 years old, so I do know his personal canon of args, literature, historical referents etc, and I also know that when he presents an argument he wants an argument. — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

@acorn_squash he's autistic, i think he genuinely isn't bothered by a lot of shit that bothers people because he doesn't even notice it (i.e., interpersonal slights and so on) — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

doesn't talk about love much, not a gifts person, but then again i don't need language or fussy things of interest; i'm very capable with those things all on my own. what i need is what he has, stability, integrity, honesty, vision, groundedness, etc. it works very well! — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

the point is i think for a certain type there's not a ton of conceptualizing going on; the love is right there on the surface: steadfast devotion, patience, labor w/o complaint, etc. he did all the girls' night feedings and all their dr appts; he is my #1 fan, supports me 100% — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

i remember one day Jane was watching Doc McStuffins on repeat and Matt was like "can we watch something else? this is boring." and as he said that, my eyes tracked to his laptop screen, where i saw he was watching a youtube vid entitled "How Charcoal Briquettes Are Made" lol — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

he says he doesn't think about the past all that much and when he thinks about the future he thinks about material variables, like savings for retirement, not unknowns, like whether our daughters will be archaeologists or astronauts or whatever. he thinks about machines a lot — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

this is one of the great joys of being with someone radically unlike you. if the dude says he's not upset, he's not upset. period, he seriously isn't. there's no facade there. the emotion projected on the surface actually does reflect the inner life. the inner life is peaceful — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

he is an extremely devoted father and husband, yeah. in re: inner worlds, i'm not sure his is analogous to mine...i used to think 'still waters run deep, he's a silent, stoic type with private ruminations.' but he's not really ruminant! it's just welfare ideas all the way down — PolitiTweet.org

Elizabeth Bruenig @ebruenig

would like the satin bomber jacket the gos wore in Drive. would not like the other aspects of the character's life however — PolitiTweet.org
