You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?
I’m in good hands.

College boyfriend came to dinner. I had prepped him that mom was a horrible cook but he saw this as a way to have more pie. Told him I’d be fine if he had to spit anything out. He ate a whole slice of pumpkin pie made with salt instead of sugar and plain pumpkin instead of pie mix.
Not family, but one time in grad school, my now-husband and I hosted a holiday party for friends. There was an apple pie, and rather than cut a slice like a normal person, one of the guests took the serving spoon out of the baked ziti and--without cleaning it--scooped the *middle* out of the pie.
yes, hello, I would like to place an order for everyone’s funniest stories of holiday food-related family grudges / drama / chaotic incidents / lore
I feel like we need this

This is great; may also be related the unprecedented public hostility that right-wing politicians have been emboldened to muster against science. Anything "female coded"--including science and university education--is easily scapegoated.

I did 2 loads of laundry, mopped the kitchen floor, had dinner and did an hour of ascp CE since I’ve been home. I’m just going to read in bed. I can’t wait until it’s light out again.

Anyone who’s ever used emergency contraception or gains peace of mind by even having it on hand owes Dr Camp a debt of gratitude. What a force.
(Also, I just learned one reason the FDA rejected it at first was that they said the name Plan B was too glib!)
Great obit—no paywall.

I had a very small win at work today, which is very good because I went to back to back concerts this week and I may just immediately go to bed when I get home. After scooping litter, because I’m not a monster.
