I told my wife I wish I had felt okay earlier in life to do my little collections, and that I wish I’d started collecting stamps as a kid. For our anniversary she went to USPS dot com and bought me an entire book of every kind of stamp she thought I would like. 🥹🥹🥹

Spent the last two days blitzing through Pluribus holy fuck. I stress-grabbed my own hair so much in the last three episodes, it’s sticking straight in the air like I’m Jimmy Neutron.

In absolute awe of the grandma-age queen who showed up at my door on Thanksgiving morning to ask if her package from Babeland had been misdelivered to my house, and when I told her sorry but no, she said it should be a “watermelon-sized box” and please do text her if it does arrive. 👑

I love in TikToks when dogs meet their new dog sibling and they’re like “BROTHER! OMG! 😍😍😍MY NEW BROTHER! BEST FRIEND BROTHER! FOREVER!!!!” And when cats meet their new cat sibling they’re like “You better take that thing back to hell THIS INSTANT.”

Annual reminder that Olivia Olson, the girl who sings "All I Want for Christmas Is You" in Love Actually, is the voice of Marceline the Vampire Queen in Adventure Time — proving, once again, that everything is gay if you just wait long enough. :) youtu.be/Ydqhvf-sAzk?...

I have saved so many relationships in the grocery store on Thanksgiving week by telling couples about the pub that serves full and delicious turkey or ham takeout plates with all the sides and also a slice of pie for $40 with no preorder necessary. This is my one gift to heterosexual people.

Watching, digesting, processing, contextualizing, & writing about these conferences is intense work, but @mileswgriffis.bsky.social and @betsyladyzhets.bsky.social never miss a beat. They're consistently doing journalism that no one else is doing.

My wife just yelled “I’M GETTING EVERYTHING I WANT” which apparently is five turnovers in the first half of Monday Night Football.

For up to half of people with #LongCOVID, activities like exercise can trigger post-exertional malaise (PEM). Yet Long COVID clinics around the world are offering exercise as treatment while dismissing its serious harms.
