From the article: “The thing we don't hear about enough, in my opinion, is the lives and humanity of pregnant people.” 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀 👀 In Judaism, the fetus is regarded as a part of the pregnant person's body until birth. Because whose life matters most is the one already born.

You do, however, recommend A+ paleontologist romance novels, and I for one very much appreciate that! I started Fossil Feud yesterday morning and finished it before lunchtime today. Delightful read!

I had a regular commute along Storrow when I taught at Simmons. One of the few advantages of having to commute to Cambridge when I moved to MIT was less time on that cursed road.

Tim Curry and Dolly Parton have taught us not only that you should be bigger, weirder, gayer, and freakier, but also that those qualities are what people will love about you. The things that make you strange and amazing are the things that will resonate with other strange and amazing people

I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing

Instagram post from the official Muppets account: Few humans have earned the title of honorary Muppet more than the legendary Tim Curry. As a performer he was unparalleled - witty, charming, unnerving, and deeply funny. We will always consider it one of our greatest treasures to have been part of Long John Silver’s crew. Thank you for everything, Tim.

I wonder if I should show my age and start rating books based on how much they entertained me in waiting rooms for medical appointments, e.g. "The nurses had to call my name three separate times because I was so engrossed in Yesteryear. They laughed at me." (true story)

kids should know how to type, yes. but i am telling you as a teacher, this is BROADLY not the reason kids are using ChatGPT. They use it for the same reason adults do: because it's a shortcut and they don't see the value of the work they are being asked to do or the skill underlying it.

To be clear, I'm sorry for everyone who travelled and didn't get to see it, but the fact that safety issues with pyrotechnics caused the Royal #Shakespeare Company #MadKing show to be delayed is far too thematically apt for a play about King Aerys II Targaryen. ...also it sounds like a great show.

if you're a presenter it takes 15 minutes to look up names you're not sure how to pronounce. A great way is to look up interviews or videos- people often introduce themselves in videos, and research is a miniscule effort you can do to honor their work and achievements

Still working on my recap of #HouseoftheDragon S03E03, but here's a taste: It's a fantastic exercise in low-key domestic horror. There are rats skittering along the edges of so many shots, their claws constant in the background, even before they become the main course.
