I probably could not name you more than 7-8 TSwift songs, even if you put my feet in a fire, but I have been earwormed by The Fate Of Ophelia for four consecutive days now. The entire thing lives in my head. Good thing I like it?

I enjoy how I still don't even know what that string of words means, after umpteen years of vidding myself! It's why I quit! I hope you make 100 vids after the irresistible lure of Premiere sucks you back in! The end.

I love that the Zoology department was integral to finding text about Merlin that was otherwise invisible to the human eye.

The ‘extremely significant' text was hidden for centuries.

this is practical advice about immediate steps to take if somebody you know has been taken by ICE.

nothing is ever guaranteed, they'll try to get away with whatever they can, but you have to try whatever you can too

It's open enrollment time so here's a convenient peg to hang a little tutorial about how to choose your health insurance.

Most of the advice you get is bad. Most of your instincts are bad. I however used to work for a health insurance company and I do arithmetic for a living so I can help.

Personally I think it's great that my company's HR sends out an official looking tool where they even ask you to pre-populate your healthcare providers and instead of being the actual insurance enrollment process it's just some bullshit checklist to try and convince me I actually don't want a PPO

TiVo changed my life as well. I loved mine and agree totally - it was a piece of tech which did exactly what it needed to do, did it beautifully and in a revolutionary way, and is still unmatched in that mission.

R.I.P the TiVo DVR (1999-2025)

The pioneer in digital video recording has officially ceased selling its DVR.

TiVo changed my life, and cloud DVRs will never match its precision and user-friendliness. It's the best piece of consumer electronics I've ever used.

This month's Tales from the Underpaid is about the haunted Home Depot where I used to work. Ghost story time!

My newsletter is free, and 2025 has been stories from shitty jobs.

Next year's theme will be announced soon! buttondown.com/megelison/ar...

Tales from the Underpaid: the Haunting of Home Depot

Everybody said that my first Home Depot had a ghost. I’ve lived in places that I felt were haunted, but free-floating dread is plentiful in apartment...

I have never watched Say Anything, Reality Bites, Slacker, Heathers, or Clerks, and I never will.

Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?

I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.

This is a good thread. Here's a thing that isn't loud enough in it: get a mammogram every year after 40. Are they annoying and uncomfortable? You bet. Did one find my symptomless cancer? Sure did. Get your tits squished and put up with a minute of discomfort so you can be cancer-free. No excuses.

This Oct, as a breast cancer survivor in treatment since 2021, I'm doing a thread on stuff I wish I'd been told.

I'll update as I go, but the first thing I'll share is every person's body & treatment is different. Some fear symptoms or side effects they might never get. Don't be afraid to fight 1/3

A very eerie glow in the sky today. Photo taken in Glastonbury about an hour before sunrise. Low level mist clinging to the hill. The sky was totally misty too until it cleared for a few moments.
