I feel like the @nytimes.com #Crossword Puzzle app should grade you on a curve based on the day you play. My average time is a shameful 40 minutes, I blame it on the fact that I aim to play the harder puzzles, rather than sticking to the safe days.

Do you think we age steadily or in spurts? One study claims we age in two distinct stages one at age 44 and one at 60. @thehowie.bsky.social and @hmkyale.bsky.social discuss this on the new episode of #HealthAndVeritas, also a deep dive into measles, and a norovirus 🤢 vaccine pod.link/1588414491

Bloom where you’re planted. Bloom where you’re planted. Bloom where you’re planted. Bloom where you’re planted. Contribute, help, assist, support, resist, love, correct, build, bloom exactly where you are. Play to your strengths, always. Overwhelm calms when you join your neighbor. We’ve got this.

Over Christmas I was making social media posts for a forthcoming episode about mental health for this podcast pod.link/1781972045. I kept track of the posts on the back of a envelope. Then I realized how my parents might feel if they found this list

1. If there's mental illness in the family
2. Know who you are dealing with
3. We don't want the child to be afraid
4. Intense emotions
5. Thanksgiving example
6. Giving & Getting feedback
7. Vincent Van Gogh

I'm editing an interview that was recorded in New York's Hudson Valley, and I'm enjoying hearing the sounds of birds (crows maybe?) that are outside his window.

If you’re a brand you’ve been thinking about advertising on podcasts but haven’t pulled trig, now’s the time. It’s officially too cold to take our hands out of pockets to skip 15 seconds ahead!
