Hoffman named one of her characters "Abra," a name I'd never heard, & now I'm slightly obsessed. It's the feminine form of Abraham, & it sounds magical, like the beginning of "Abracadabra." Surprisingly, popular opinion is against it, saying that spliced, it's literally "A bra." So what? Bras are girly, they support women, & you can only have one if you're mature -- which any haters obviously are not. #abraforpresident #imwithabra #futuredaughter

East of Edenmonalyisha @Kangaj1 Crazily enough, I've never read any Steinbeck! I don't know how I made it through high school (& an English major in college) without having been assigned any of his books, but I did! 😱 (edited) 7y
