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.

East Liberty. Chislett Street. Caller said he is an Amazon driver and hit like an open sewer grate or something in the road so big that he fell out of his truck and injured himself.

Downtown. Liberty Ave. Caller is an Amazon delivery driver. He said that some guy just sliced up his tires and ran off.

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.
