When I go a stretch without tweeting, I will occasionally get an email from my mom, checking in. I always find this amusing but also gratifying: Thanks to Twitter, I can keep in touch with my parents and let them in on what I'm doing in a way that even the regular phone calls of a doting daughter can't do.
Quote by -Rachel Sklar
Here's the thing: 'The Hurt Locker' was an amazing, important film. But did I enjoy it? Of course not. It was very tough to watch and, while gripping, not exactly what you'd call a happy place.
Quote by -Rachel Sklar
To be honest, I've been a passionate advocate for the value of tech to help us connect to people in real and emotional ways - and stick up for myself when people say, 'Sklar! Stop tweeting!'
Quote by -Rachel Sklar
I am attached to my Blackberry. Sometimes, when I'm holding it, my other hand goes to my pocket automatically in search of it.
Quote by -Rachel Sklar
Myself, I really like the iPad mounted as a frame, with a happy slideshow cycling through.
Quote by -Rachel Sklar
I love the way they look. I love the way they feel. I love saying the word again and again: Jeggings! Jeggings! Jeggings!
Quote by -Rachel Sklar
While I know that Twitter is doing just fine with or without my 140-character contributions, I also know that people are fickle, and when using something becomes too annoying, they stop.
Quote by -Rachel Sklar
I use iTunes for downloading music, but I always decline when prompted to update this or that new version.
Quote by -Rachel Sklar
'Sesame Street' is awesome - not only because they teach, edify and entertain kids but because they savvily make it possible to do so with parental engagement, because the show is loaded with references for Mom and Dad.
Quote by -Rachel Sklar
The best jokes resonate because they uncover ridiculousness in our daily lives, reveal the silliness - and sometimes sadness - of things we see every day.
Quote by -Rachel Sklar
The comedian can put the punchline out there, but it's the audience that receives it - and has to get it.
Quote by -Rachel Sklar
I'm a Canadian who can't vote, so far be it from me to speak for what Americans want. But, I am also a close observer of politics and media in this country, and the intersection of both - and how both intersect, and overlap with, each other.
Quote by -Rachel Sklar
We live in a world now where everything is tweeted and Instagrammed and tagged and now, God help us, Vined. Calling out grievances over Twitter has become an industry norm.
Quote by -Rachel Sklar
If you care about the news and write what you want to read - not just what you think Google search wants to read - there are people out there who want to read it.
Quote by -Rachel Sklar
Flip through the channels, and there is no denying it: The world of cable news - and their network chat-show brethren - is very, very white.
Quote by -Rachel Sklar
My specialty was baked potatoes with cheese melted over broccoli. I was also very good at melting cheese on bread.
Quote by -Rachel Sklar
Twitter may have a cute-sounding name, but it exists, it generates a ton of content, it implicates all types of people, and it has nuances that are important to get right. Hopefully, its careless rendering by sloppy journalists won't lead to the dumbification of America.
Quote by -Rachel Sklar
Twitter is an amazing public tool with an incredible capacity for public good.
Quote by -Rachel Sklar
Seeing how easy it has been to use Twitter for good has exposed the double-edged sword of how easy it could be to co-opt.
Quote by -Rachel Sklar
Not only do I not drive, I don't have my driver's license; there's a story there, but the upshot is that I spent my high school years an ardent environmentalist and workout junkie who wanted to save the environment, burn calories, and have my boyfriends drive me around.
Quote by -Rachel Sklar
On the Internet, everybody has an opinion about everything, but if you're smart, you know when to keep your mouth shut.
Quote by -Rachel Sklar
I totally consider Fishbowl my full time job - I have to say I freaking love doing this blog. I just enjoy the medium so much; I love the fact that it requires me to read amazing stuff by hilarious and talented people and forces me to know what's going on in the world.
Quote by -Rachel Sklar
What's surprised me most about the demands of blogging - the relentlessness of it. 24-hour news cycle, every media imaginable right here in New York, totally fair game.
Quote by -Rachel Sklar
In 2014, having children is complicated and daunting and fraught - as much as it's always been, but now we're talking about it. And the more we talk about it, the more of us will realize that we're not going through it alone. Far from it.
Quote by -Rachel Sklar
'Single' is usually applied to women as though they are a problem to be fixed.
Quote by -Rachel Sklar
There will always be women who say, 'She doesn't represent me.' In retrospect, these things are gifts, because it forces me to step up and defend what I'm doing.
Quote by -Rachel Sklar
Law school and summer camp are the two experiences that inform pretty much all I do.
Quote by -Rachel Sklar
I am pro-choice, but I don't consider that inconsistent at all with pro-life - there's no way that having an abortion, ever, is an easy decision, and it more often errs on the side of absolutely wrenching, not to mention physically debilitating.
Quote by -Rachel Sklar
I find the term 'workaholic' to be distasteful because it reminds me of the harried-looking lawyers I recall chained to their desks through nights and weekends during my lawyer days years ago.
Quote by -Rachel Sklar
I'm Jewish, but not overly religious, and have certainly never formally observed the Fourth Commandment, other than via the tradition of wearing white on Friday nights at summer camp, which never seemed to dovetail with the fact that Fridays were also the night for grape juice.
Quote by -Rachel Sklar
Women as a raw demographic unit exercise incredible power across every element of American life.
Quote by -Rachel Sklar
I took a job at a white-shoe NYC law firm, with an office, business cards, and a fat starter paycheck.
Quote by -Rachel Sklar
I've gone out on limbs, flung far, and Forrest-Gumped my way into the center of the action.
Quote by -Rachel Sklar
As a matter of personal philosophy, I have generally said, 'Why not?' far more often than either 'Why?' or 'Not.'
Quote by -Rachel Sklar
Less than two weeks before my 34th birthday, I bought pots. Most people were amazed that I did not previously own pots, but that was before I explained that I had never used my oven, and used my stovetop for my dishrack.
Quote by -Rachel Sklar
In university, in a vain attempt to stave off the frosh fifteen, I used to melt fat-free cheese over broccoli, onions and cauliflower in the cafeteria microwave. That earned me few friends.
Quote by -Rachel Sklar
A strong and enthusiastic niche audience can push a topic into mainstream consciousness with speed and force.
Quote by -Rachel Sklar
'The Crumbling of America' should be required viewing for local and national government, not to mention the local and national media who should be keeping their feet to the fire on guarding against disaster.
Quote by -Rachel Sklar
The road system that we've come to depend on, the road system that we built our wealth on and our power on, is falling apart.
Quote by -Rachel Sklar
I suspect I am like most people on the Internet in that I sign up for all sorts of sites and frequently use the same passwords.
Quote by -Rachel Sklar
As an expectant mom who is currently self-employed, I'm amazed at just how tied to the workplace maternity benefits are.
Quote by -Rachel Sklar
I don't fault my former law firm for running their business like a business or expecting their new hire to be worth the obscene rate she was billed out at, but fun it was not.
Quote by -Rachel Sklar
On NBC, MSNBC and Hulu, you can size and cut clips to whatever length you want. Do online clips affect the TV market? I'm guessing not really.
Quote by -Rachel Sklar
What bothered me most about chick lit, frankly, was how the term was used to dismiss a huge chunk of the bookstore as silly, girlish prattle.
