Plays are best performed-they're meant to be performed, after all. And of course the better the actors, the better the play comes across.

Nice! I would say that this demonstrates that plays are best performed, not read and of course the better the actor, the better the play comes across.

I *do* remember that bit! So good. What is the title of the essay? I really do want to reread and refresh.
I think I read The Deerslayer in high school--not assigned reading. I don't remember loathing it but I also have never read any other Cooper so there is that...
sarahisathome.bsky.social
I don't remember that- haven't read it for so long!
Obviously need to revisit immediately.

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.
Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing?
2? Questions
I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up.
Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

Today in odd Goodreads recommendations...

Because you are currently reading-

(Aside from the usual odd, it's also odd because I'm currently reading The Buffalo Hunter Hunter.)

One way we learned this in Minneapolis was when Chief Arradondo campaigned against a ballot amendment in uniform and mostly got treated as if that wasn’t him doing politics.

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Oh, yes! I heard about that possibility. Horrible idea.

Oh, Little Marco.
I may be remembering wrong but I think in the past someone just followed him around with a skeleton of a spine while he was answering (and I use the term loosely) reporters' questions.
Apt.

Good on the Labor Department for getting that (incredibly obvious but it does have to be said officially) information out into the open.
sarahisathome.bsky.social
Yes! It is happening-more would be better but also when it does, it doesn't get that much press coverage (which I wish was more surprising). National one planned for the 18th-hoping for a big turnout!

Researchers in Spain have developed a new intranasal COVID-19 vaccine that eliminates the virus in mice.

One dose gave 60% protection, but two intranasal doses achieved 100% protection with no detectable virus in nasal or lung tissue, suggesting sterilizing immunity.

An experimental intranasal vaccine eliminates the COVID-19 virus in mice

Preclinical trials with rodents show 100% protection with the second dose.

This work advances the development of new-generation vaccines against COVID-19.

For sure. "I feel so badly for your kid" is probably the best I could do and still mean it.

Can repeat enough: Chicago is the rehearsal for what's ahead (and yes, is also already underway) in other cities — AND for the campaign of noncooperation & opposition that must be unleashed. We must study & practice & prepare.

I repeat: we love you, Chicago.

I know not everyone is who they thought they would be under a fascist, authoritarian regime. That's okay. But it's time to do more than react and post about it. It's time to get organized—including mapping or creating lines of support and defense in your community.

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

Oh I'm so sorry-it's the worst. Had that a couple years ago. You've probably already thought of this but check all of your credit cards and accounts and whatnot for activity. I wish I'd known to do this right away. Good luck!

These are both good options. Universal Church of Christ (UCC) would also be a good bet.
