Have you ever read something where you just KNOW the writer talks with their hands, does the sound effects, and would bust out a little dance if it suited the story?

That's Erica.

She's a colorful storyteller whose sense of humor and fearless honesty make a big impact. Her rants might go for the emotional jugular, hit your funny bone, or shock you and your mama out of your fajas. Usually it's all three.

Often chronicling her life in Florida, her stories are full of characters like "Bikini Rifle Lady", "Mariachi Neighbor," and "Barbara The NextDoor Evangelist." There's almost always a message in the madness, and that's what people connect with most.

Also her deep and undying love for Tevin Campbell.

You ever felt insignificant? Unspecial? Regular degular shmegular? 
Us too. 
Maybe a little bitter—certainly more than you were as a fresh young sprout? Tougher as well?
Us too.

Know who else feels that way sometimes? 
Twitter. 
And also, apparently, spinach.

At least according to the description on one brand's package. 
Or maybe the copywriter poured their soul into their work a little too much? 
Take a look.

The bitterness that comes with age, loss of the sweet tenderness of youth, somebody you don't even know passive-aggressively attacking you when you're just minding your own business... 
It all felt so familiar to Twitter.

Kentucky Republican Representative Massie offered a snarky response after President Donald Trump said "MAGA doesn't want him" following Massie's criticism of Trump's unilateral decision to bomb Iran and the spending package presented in the "Big Beautiful Bill."
Massie spoke out following Trump's decision to authorize a series of intense U.S. air and submarine strikes targeting three Iranian nuclear facilities, amid ongoing uncertainty about the status of Tehran’s nuclear program. The threat of a wider conflict in the Middle East is on everyone's minds as tensions between Iran and Israel—now openly aided by the U.S.—intensify.
