nostalgic '70s moment: helping my father muscle a full-to-overflowing shopping cart--the big ones with the deep sides--enough to feed a family of six. less than a hundred bucks.

Amazon just doesn’t care. you have to select a checkbox in KDP acknowledging that no part of your self-published book is generated with AI.

behind long grief will be relief—and that’s ok. my father comes to visit in my dreams.

A beautiful & timely reminder during these chaotic times. It is always vital to protect yourselves. “Chronic stress can take more from you than a headline ever will.” 🤍

Sometimes all you can do is make the world 0.0000000000001% less awful by being a good person and it feels very meaningless but it’s also the only thing that really matters

One thing I love is obsolete technology being encoded in our language. Words like “footage” and “rewind” and “dial (as a phone)” that literally describe a physicality that doesn’t exist anymore, yet lingers linguistically. Anybody have any other examples?

this explains so much! mood swings, rumination, spiraling, anxiety are so much worse on a bad night’s sleep. working with my GP to start meds ASAP. how long do they take to start working?

yes! i spent 10 years working in michelin-rated restaurants. even now, decades later, the scenes of service chaos and psychological abuse make my hands shake.

this is a beautiful thread. the best tv resists facile and easy storytelling. watching S4 of The Bear and these are deeply flawed, broken, and traumatized humans hoping for peace, for things to get better.
