Ask yourselves why people want panic for you and power for themselves. Who does that serve?

Happy Labor Day. I've had a lot of strange jobs, this was one that was, in retrospect, perfect for me at the time. A lot of effort goes into product testing and safety, more than most folks realize.

Dolly Parton understood something that too many of my public health colleagues have not grasped: a good idea isn't sufficient — you have to sell it. So she got vaccinated in front of cameras, and literally begged her fans to not hesitate, to vaccinate — to a reworking of Jolene

When your timeline is filled with queer folks and brown/Black people singing the praises of and loudly mourning a 1940s-Tennessee-born white Boomer lady, welp. She was pretty goddamn extraordinary, you can assume.

Exactly. It reminds me of how Phyllis Wheatley had to have three white men vouch for the fact that she wrote her first book. I have noticed some journals do this when the author never admitted to AI use. One thing I'll say is people tend to say they use it.

A perfect summer afternoon: sitting in the shade, drinking some Hot-Kid Milk Drink and reading about Louis XIV.

The book cover for The Sun King by Nancy Mitford sitting face up in my lap features a 1653 portrait of Louis XIV wearing an elaborate feathered headdress. To the left: an open red can of Hot-Kid Milk drink featuring a happy cartoon kid with a heart shaped tongue and bright pink cheeks sits on the arm of a blue plastic Adirondack chair.

if I did get an audience with Pope Leo I would throw myself on his mercy and ask him to get rid of our evil bishop who refused even to take a meeting with catholic school parents who didn’t like his transphobic school policy even though we had 1000+ support letters from Catholics all over the state

There's more than one way to observe the birthday of a vile and hideous man.

A library book rests on the reader's lap, open to the cover page: NOT MY TYPE: One Woman vs. a President, by E. Jean Carroll. A glimpse of bare knee and the toe of a sandal in the background.

So relatable: "She said that her earliest memory was of a poem she wrote when she was 5. In second grade she wrote the school musical, both lyrics and score. It centered on a group of vegetables, and she cast herself as lead carrot." (From the NYT obit for Jane Yolen)

In the early oughts during a career transition I worked in a merchandise testing lab testing fabrics and garments being developed for retail companies. The amount of testing a single shirt would go through was extensive and eye opening for me.

As someone who took years to get over a particular ex, I understand the urge to look back and marvel at the trainwreck you walked away from. I am also grateful to the many (so many!) friends who listened at first, and finally said "we're done listening to you talk about him, it's incredibly boring!"

Why limit oneself to *one* bedtime? At my house I practice two bedtimes: (8-9 pm) "nap on the couch after trying to read bedtime" and 11pm-4am "wake up on the couch, brush & floss, and drag oneself to ACTUAL BED bedtime" Not without its flaws, but it works!
