As someone who works in hospice and frequently has to inform families of a death, there are gentle ways to use the D word. And I always recommend we use it, because not every one speaks English primarily or perfectly. People under stress may misunderstand and it's my job to communicate clearly.

Peel, boil in tiny amount of lemon juice and sugar. Use as an apple substitute. Literally no one can tell.

"Crime" is used by these people as a dog whistle for black and brown people. So this is right in line with their vernacular

My love for libraries is so profound, my family is embarrassed by it. It's not uncommon for them to get photos and reviews of libraries I visit when I'm traveling.

Granted, I'm not one of Cory Booker's constituents, but I did write him a scathing note as I unsubscribed from his email newsletter last week, telling him to get off his dead ass and do something. So I like to think I'm partially responsible for today.

If you're going to do critical thinking at 0400, make sure you do it out loud after you already have the other person on the line.

Talk slowly. That's important.

Oh it's the immediate answer.
Could also go for Dwight Schrute, but I was afraid he would be considered a villain.

I also almost died from encephalitis at age 38 from shingles after an extremely mild childhood case of chickenpox.

Thank you for saying this

Once again, I am confounded that the process of trial and error includes error. By me? Seems wrong.

We use it in hospice. Freeze it, scoop it out with a tiny melon baller and roll them in powdered sugar.
Excellent for constipation.

Genuinely asking for a box on prior authorizations that says "This patient is dying. Don't be a total ghoul and send them their meds "

What if we ate healthy foods to prevent contagious and deadly diseases, but instead of food it was like a liquid produced in a lab by a scientist, and instead of eating it we put it into our muscle?

Awfully convenient that the corollary to this is that when a kid gets really sick or dies, it must be the parents' fault for not feeding them well enough.
