Work and Wardrobe Woes
CleverlyChloé (@CleverlyChloe) asked, “No clue wtf to wear in this 90 degree heat to work that won't get me fired ?” Sho hoe (@ogshoshi) noted their turtle’s enjoyment: “It's 80° in my house right now and we are all miserable except my turtle who is fucking LOVING this weather and it's pissing me off a little.” Mom Jeans (@momjeansplease) observed, “Me every summer: I don’t remember it being this hot last summer.”
