It is dangerously cold this weekend and soon we'll have a ton of snow. If you live in an area impacted by this snowstorm and you order delivery, you need to tip your driver at least 50%. They're putting themselves at great risk being out when it's this cold and hazardous.

I commented on a post about surprise charges for preordered books. Is this a problem others have had?
I suggested buying yourself a bookstore gift card and using that for preorders but I've never tried it. What do you all think? Good or bad idea?

This is a pleasure for me too!
Few things are more satisfying than checking in on a topic I thought I knew and learning that people have made major progress with important questions I would not have thought to ask.

What might it feel like to reach a state where your body’s density perfectly matches your surroundings? Their buoyant bodies are filled with ammonium chloride, which is lighter than seawater, helping them to conserve energy while traveling. 1,729 m #ArgentinianDeepSeeps

Because wow.
An easy walk along sea cliffs of Cambrian-Silurian Tumblagooda Sandstone, ~ 450-400 million years old, S of Kalbarri, W Australia. Lots of crossbedding. Ancient river deposits at a time of zero terrestrial vegetation.

I have been booking heavily lately. It helps.
Rough vibes on this website today, likely because people feel Hopeless and Helpless Because Can't Stop It and No One Who Is Supposed To Is Trying To So Now We're Fighting Each Other™. I recommend activities such as book, or potentially instrument if you like instrument, or even do talk on phone.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply.
I want to make sure this is very clear.

Rage renewed: SCOTUS handed the president of the US immunity and now we can only charge the other dozens of war criminals. He can still be impeached and indicted, though.

Holy shit.
My favorite part of Eleanor Rigby is that every Black woman who touches it sets it afire. I'd expect nothing less of String Queens.

one unexpected outlook change from being a dad is taking the self care people 10x more seriously when it comes to dealing with weirdly directed anger and rage (including Online). many angry posts should have been naps or little packets of crackers
