Every couple years, it's a nice reboot

The Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman. I think before I read that, I was sort of used to thinking about religion as sort of either it exists as I've been taught (as a young Catholic lass), or there is basically no religion. Pullman's depiction of Heaven as a sort of "Earth in the sky" where there are power games and…

Sansa likes lemon cakes.

I always thought Gollum not achieving redemption was a bold choice. It goes against a lot of modern storytelling cliches/tropes and even today is sort of depressing.

Because he's charming and funny. (Crowley from Supernatural)

God, another GREAT question from Ms. Anders.

Here is the more famous example of a siphonophore mentioned in the video, for those not familiar.

When I've had significant (week+) periods off adulting (vacation in college, time between jobs when moving), it rapidly becomes clear I need 9 hours, 12 am - 9 am. Too bad this never happens. Had to get up at 6:30 for work this morning and felt like I was going to throw up for the next two hours, despite getting those…

i've been in the same situation for almost 5 years, i couldnt go to sleep before 2-3am, but you can change your sleep cycle. At least i was able to.
