Out of the blue I realized why Donny Hathaway’s “This Christmas” always makes me a little weepy. It captures a warmth that I’ve always wanted to feel at the holidays but never have, and it’s the specificity of *this* Christmas, not last, not next, that hits on a melancholic sense of hope & presence

I'm so far removed from Libraryland that I had no idea that Kaia Gerber has a book series called "Library Science". I even missed the inevitable huffiness some librarians would experience over the name.

I hate that I have personal experience with sciatica. It sounded like such an old person’s condition when I was growing up. I mean. A condition that involved tiny jars of strange smelling liniment.

This documentary about a paleobiologist who lost a lot of her usual brain function after two brain injuries is fascinating. It also serves as a lesson to me, a chronically ill person, to learn to accept help when you need it. I still have a hard time with this.

In between cleaning up after myself/my sick cat I’ve been watching videos of heterosexual women talking about how hard dating is because of MAGATS. I should be more sympathetic, shouldn’t I?
As for the MAGATS, I hope they all step on Legos barefoot FOREVER

I used to be a fan of Quarter Pounders until I realized not a single piece of gristle from the hundreds he’s eaten has escaped, gotten lodged in that idiot’s windpipe and brought him down.
