No, but this really happened to a kid where I grew up. He was a friend of my cousin’s neighbor’s sister’s best friend. He was never the same after that Halloween.

People complain about phone calls, texts and messages, but at least we’re not dogs. Can you imagine all the butts you’d have to smell to get to inbox zero?

Bari Weiss’s first project for CBS brought in a phenomenal 145 viewers. Love this for her.

This time of year, they’re attracted to moist places, where females are more likely to hang out. It’s a good reminder to check your tub before turning the water on and stepping in.

I had to start the morning by rescuing a house spider that had become trapped in the well of the stainless steel kitchen sink. Both of us survived!

Yep. I've been sharing this with folks since I read it in 2020.

Our natural instinct is to normalize. Especially, since there are so many pieces of the America we remember still extant. But the pieces, and the narrative, no longer cohere.

I think about this article from September 2020 pretty much every day at this point:

"America has already collapsed. What you’re feeling is exactly how it feels. It’s Saturday and you’re thinking about food while the world is on fire."

I Lived Through Collapse. America Is Already There.
Living in Sri Lanka during the end of the civil war, I saw how life goes on, surrounded by death
