What else would help, I wonder? Light-weight shoes, probably? Would jumping help? Can I keep my phone?

A lady on tiktok said that when you’re getting raptured she doesn’t recommend trying to hold on to anything and I initially thought she meant metaphorically, holding onto earthly desires or whatever, but she meant like don’t grab the couch to keep you from floating up through the ceiling. Amazing.

Well, thank you! :)

Jane Espenson @janeespenson.bsky.social · 1d

Okay, New York Times Spelling Bee, I'll make you a deal. Let's each put in a hundred bucks every time you don't recognize the perfectly legitimate word TONTINE, and then whichever of us lives longest gets it.

Oh yes, that's who they *mean*, but I'm always surprised when they don't choose pink or purple for that - those are the colors they find demeaning. Blue hair means old to so many people.

Blue haired people has generally referred to old people. Old ladies with a blue rinse to counteract the yellowing of their white hair. Which makes sense because all the old ladies I know are mad and turning out.

Fantastic read. I'm currently enjoying some King David apples... would love to read a review if you haven't covered them in a previous season.

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

Books not only teach us about ways to be happy, they *are* ways to be happy.

Still looking for someone, haven't found a single person so far (that I can contact). I have a 46-episode script that I need translated. This would be a paid job!

Sena Bryer @senabryer.com · 13d

Completely unrelated to my 2am doomposting but does anyone know an English to Japanese translator, ideally with experience in screenplays?
