The Blue Zone Controversy: Does It Matter If the Science Is Wrong? Image: Meher Khan

Who here is interested in longevity research? This is what I found when I wrote about the Blue Zones for Provoked. provokedbysusan.com/the-blue-zon...

It's Swiffer brand, so anywhere really, like Target, Walgreens, etc. It has an extender!!!! So you can do above the doors too.

I'm expecting a delivery of a book, Swiffer pads, and a duster for my baseboards and I'm most excited about the duster for my baseboards. I don't even recognize myself anymore.

Me during the day not dealing with my issues: 🤩😀😂

Me in the middle of the night dreaming about my issues: 🌋🔥😱

ooohhh thanks I would love to connect and find out more.

I would love to speak to women over fifty who are co-housing with other women for community and financial stability for an article I'm writing. If that's you send me a DM.

Hey do you and your book need couple's therapy? Are you fighting all the time, don't want to be around each other? Don't understand what your book is trying to say? The Witches are having a workshop to help you fall in love with your book again. We're keeping this one small so sign up soon!

well said!

Why yes it's Monday morning and I need to write the articles I've pitched but instead I'm writing more pitches.

Glad you wrote it!

It's a good time to remember that the pen is mightier than the sword. Or something like that.

Just chatting with another writer about how difficult it is to pitch article ideas while simultaneously watching democracy die.

Where is my writing coven on Blue Sky? The witches of pitches are doing this workshop once again to help writers nail down their cover copy, which will help them better understand their narrative arc, inciting incident, and how to write the dreaded elevator pitch. Email us with any questions.

exactly! I love this.

My friend and I decided that we are going to rage clean each other's houses together and just scream at one another the whole time but not take offense because just straight up rage cleaning isn't enough anymore.

No one is talking about Luigi anymore, but today I got a bill for a routine colonoscopy and the hospital billed my insurance $24,000. I asked how they justify this and they said that the real cost is $250 but the insurance won't pay that unless they bill an astronomical amount.

thank you for sharing!

We Asked Our Most Trusted Doctors About How to Find the Best Surgeons Here’s everything you need to know before you go under the knife.

Finding a surgeon and navigating our healthcare system can be so stressful, especially during a health scare. I wrote a step by step guide for finding a top surgeon, including questions to ask and what to bring to the appointment. Snacks are on the list. www.oprahdaily.com/life/health/...

Who has been through the college admission process as a parent supporting their kids? I never thought it would be this stressful. The system needs to change. I wrote about it for US News and World. www.usnews.com/opinion/arti...

Sometimes I wonder if all the teenagers work for an international spy agency where they can only check in with their parents in code by responding to texts with one letter, K

Yes exactly

As a healthcare writer I have so many thoughts on the insurance industry and I'm sorry this is what it took for people to start sharing their stories. We've been putting up with this broken system for too long. What can we do to facilitate real change?

Did you know that most doctors spend an average of 13 mins with patients? Docs I interview say that patients are so worried they won't get through all their questions they often forget to listen to the answers. Going to the doc for care shouldn't cause more anxiety because of time constraints.

Yes! And please don't skip your Pap smears! They save lives if you do have HPV.

haha I knew when I wrote that there would be questions. The crunchy kind only.

Apparently it's physically impossible for me to start a new article without chips. Also I'm out of chips.
