Yesterday a male driver pulled over to tell me that "if a man tries to touch you, tell him you've got Covid."
The fear in these situations never leaves, and that's probably why the best I could muster was a withering "Riiiiight, thanks..." as I walked away.

Seriously, daycares/schools: If you email me on MONDAY telling me to make an Easter bonnet with my child for them to wear on WEDNESDAY, you'd better be providing me with a time machine as well as all the necessary craft supplies.

Hey Siri, please remove anything by The Wiggles from my Top Songs 2023 playlist on Spotify.

Excellent pod listening on rebrands and name changes, with a nod to the Old Place and how much of a bad idea Musk’s name change was.

Beautiful storytelling on a seemingly random topic.
Why are so many Asian American women in their 30s and 40s called Connie?

Did you know about the Nun Study? A group of 678 nuns volunteered to be studied in life and to donate their brains after death for research. The findings on how lifestyle and education may deter Alzheimer's symptoms are fascinating.
A great look into this here:
