In 'The Scientist's Guide to Writing', I offer this as an example of writing that's fairly technical (for public-facing writing) but also beautiful. Reading copyedits and just struck again by how lovely this passage is.

In news that is not news but feels like news to me: kidney stones suck and are excruciating..

Someone should make a Tomorrowland sequel, remind folks of what's possible when enough people with the right attitude work together to change things.
We could be so much more than we are. I cry so hard when I watch that movie 🥲

Azine's mom owns the pharmacy over $300, & she needs baclofen by Wednesday. Baclofen withdrawal is VERY bad, especially given the very high doses she has to take. She needs it by Wednesday.

The severity of the trauma triggering happening by being displaced into a tiny space at the same time of year the house burned down is intense and disruptive.

When you need supplemental oxygen and don't get it, depending on severity you'll either slowly decline as your brain starves (progressive hypoxemic brain damage) or you'll crash and die in minutes.
I've experienced the first and come very close to the second. This makes me violently angry.

Just finished going through interview transcripts for this project, and I was struck by a participant's recollection of how their oxygen tank was repossessed when they lost their job and lost their employer-sponsored insurance coverage. Lung cancer, post-op.
Inhumane.

I need advice from a home HVAC expert. Need to build air filtration into my central heating, unsure whether I should use vent filters or upgrade the furnace filter or both. I've been given to understand that if the filtering is too thick, it can cause issues with the furnace and/or AC.
