The weather app should show yesterday’s weather so you can see if it was this cold, or if that was just practice.

Everyone seems to love all these limited series of 6-7 episodes because they’re “low-commitment.” No thank you. I want heavy commitment. I want a 12-episode season. Make it 22. I want to be married to it for months.

I’m so used to putting in AirPods that, twice now, just because they were in my hand, I’ve almost popped a couple of cashews in my ears.

I grew up before internet. Talked to friends on the phone. Was bullied 1 year, but only by snail mail.
Post-college, stayed out late and did very stupid things, before there were phone cameras. 🙏🏻
Joined the work force before remote work was a thing. Went to an office. Made friends for life…

My friend was ranting about people who leave voice messages instead of a text. She couldn't believe most of my biz friends choose to communicate by Voxer.
I live for it! It's almost never the right time in my day for a phone call, but an asynchronous chat? All day long.

Breaking: I’m out of my reading rut! All it took was the right, unputdownable book: The Wedding People by Allison Espach.
(Also helpful: post-election scrolling being all torture and zero fun, so I can now stop after 10 minutes in the hole and use my brain elsewhere.)

Anyone know someone who’s RECENTLY built an email/newsletter list (over 1000 subs at the very least) without using social media or ads? By recently, I mean post-2021-ish. Tell me!

So many posts about whether audiobooks "count" as reading or not. Why is there any counting at all? Are they giving out reading points that convert to airline miles?
Unrelated: I have it on good authority that my book on audible is an excellent "read."

I believe Real Housewives thrives with the worst, most un-self-aware and thirsty people but our government does not. So will Bravo please cast Nancy Mace on RHONY and save both?

I predict (AKA fantasize) that Don Jr. offers a bump to Robert Jr., who says "Hell, why not, for old times' sake" and within a month they're Johnny and Bubs from The Wire, stealing and selling copper wire from construction sites and drooling in an abandoned squat in Hamsterdam

I get asked all the time if it's OK to recycle emails / newsletters to your list. My feeling: If I don't remember writing it, they probably won't remember reading it. (And if they do, all the better -- that means it was memorable.)

I have this limiting belief that "I suck at planning for the future" — but today, just when I needed them, I found in my totebag a Crackle miniature and a Reese's that I took from bowls at 2 different stores on Halloween. I really underestimate myself sometimes!
