So I am rampantly anti-nonsense, and so a lot of the more nonsensical bits of the book really turned me off. The third time I read it lol, I made a vow to read it all the way through the way it directed: flipping to the back when it said to, going through all the footnotes, etc etc... It wasn’t all my speed, but… Read more

I have read this book three times and it freaks me out every time Read more

Oh wow, that’s tough! I’ve been reading about the lockdowns around the world and waiting for them to come to NYC, but we’ll see. Read more

Yeeess... Read more

I’m so sorry to hear about your family! I hope they recover quickly! Read more

That’s scary. I hope they do well and recover quickly! Read more

Wow, 4 years, that’s amazing! I’ve alternated between “I can’t believe I have to be sober for this” and “I’m really glad I’m sober for this.”  Read more

Ugh, that sounds really hard! I’ve been trying to work on telling the difference between useful worry--keeping up with what’s going on in my city, making sure I have the things I need--and what kind of worrying isn’t doing anything but making me feel worse. This *should* be the part where I say it’s really helping,… Read more

Yeah, I’ve found going to the store really stressful too. I keep trying to remember that the stores might look really barren right now, but I think they’ll fill up again. I tell myself that I don’t know what people’s life situations are when I see them grabbing a ton of stuff; maybe they’re shopping for others, or… Read more

I’m glad I’m not alone in suddenly feeling like a parent to my parents. My folks are both over 70 and are living it up. I’ve yelled at them several times--I feel like they should at least be as responsible as they raised me to be! Read more

Ah, being alone is hard. I live alone and have been alternating between being glad I can freak out with no one seeing me and feeling like I’m the last person on earth. I’m glad you’ve got stuff to keep you busy! Read more

Thank you!  Read more

Wow, that’s such a tough call, I’m so sorry to hear that. I hope you’ll get the chance to hike it again!  Read more

Aw, my half-marathon went great! Finished in about 2:05 feeling pretty good, followed by a day and a half of walking like a penguin--people were NOT kidding about how bad your legs hurt after something like that! I’ve already got a marathon lined up for the fall, so I have at least a few months to not say “I should be… Read more

Would this technically make the cat intersex? No official answer from Epic, alas, but I’m going to go with the personal theory that the cat is a trans guy, because it makes me happy to think so. This is my fandom now. Read more

I’m going to dig into this development, stay tuned Read more

Sorry, it is indeed confusing—this is Chapter 2, Season 2, but Chapter 1 wasn’t called Chapter 1, so we’ve kind of gone backwards naming convention-wise. Seasons get other patches during the course of the season as well. TL;DR: there’s always something to get used to right before it changes completely. Read more

Please trademark and pitch this idea before it’s too late. Read more

I think you could see politics as solely being about, say, laws and governance etc, but everything you do and everything you interact with is going to come back to that sooner or later. Like, right now I’m sitting at home on my couch, and there’s all kinds of people and rights and laws that went into who made my… Read more

Wow I didn’t even have to type anything (besides this, I guess). What convenience!  Read more
