About 18 hours into what was supposed to be a direct three-hour flight, I found myself in an airport hundreds of miles from my destination, no rebooking in sight. Wearily I asked the desk clerk at the airport hotel for the cheapest room they had. "You got it, Captain," she said. Captain?

Also absolutely no understanding of prose style. Rice wasn't the most literary writer who ever lived, but she did HAVE a style, and fans ploddingly stringing sentences together don't know how to imitate it, or even that there is something to imitate

I didn't get to see it in person, but we loved the catalogue for this queering medieval art exhibition at the Met. The Virgin Mary and St. Elizabeth holding hands in the form of a betrothal was a real standout.

The shingles vaccine hit me very hard, and yet I am so, so, so grateful it exists. So grateful. I have several friends who suffered through shingles and it is HELL ON EARTH. I would take that vaccine with all its discomfort a hundred times over actual shingles.

My impression is that there was a child-horse character that someone claimed was sexualizing the child. The devs replaced that character with an adult, but the Internet has latched onto the idea that the game sexualizes children.

I love imagining her saying of the KJV "it's a book I've been reading". These people skim the first couple chapters of Genesis and just assume the rest is kinda like that. It's like my students who call everything longer than 30 pages "a novel".
