It’s okay, Dr. Biden already knows where everything is. There is literally nothing of use that Melania Trump has to say. To anyone.

Cool for people that love visuals and Calm’s use of celebrity voices. For those of you who can’t afford their hefty subscription fees or the price of HBO Max, however, there a lot of free sleep podcasts that already exist on YouTube, as well as audio. Let me point you to Boring Books for Bedtime, The French Whisperer…

I would own that pillow, if looking at it with a serious astigmatism didn’t make patterns like that turn into a seasickness-inducing vibration. But, if I could, I surely would.

Like many rural, predominantly white areas in America....no. Looking at you especially, “Northeast Kingdom” and your Take Back Vermont right-wing mantras.

Totally agree about the discomfort of meditation apps and mantras. I find them soooo difficult, personally. And while I appreciate that apps can offer a wider variety of content in one spot, they’re so expensive!

Add in a pile of fury that he can’t go to his Cult of Personality Gatherings and be praised by the gathered faithful, or hightail it to his properties and have his ring kissed by sycophants. For such a blatant narcissist, this situation has got to be killing him.

Just remember that you, as a person, should have at least three months of cash in savings to cover any emergencies, or you’re a deadbeat wastrel who goes to Starbucks, eats too much avocado toast, and can’t find your bootstraps.

THIS! How morally bankrupt do you have to be to spend half a BILLION dollars to please your ego this way? He could have done so much good with that money, and it’s just...gone in a puff of bloviated air.

The only brown people in my in-laws’ god-and-guns-obsessed small town are the immigrants they just hired to do construction work on their house, and the only danger is that these same fine Americans will absolutely vote Republican and endanger those brown people’s futures.

Wow, that’s gorgeous! Definitely need to check that out.

Yep. He spends 12 months lying low-ish while planning away with some gross male partners who don’t understand what all the “fuss” was about, then opens a new signature restaurant in Vegas in which no profits need to be shared. Done and done.

Thank you for this!!!

Always amazed when makeup tutorials claim a look that took 15 minutes to produce is “natural”. Girl/Boy/Them, no. Nothing about you looks natural.

Background noise definitely helps! If you find music too distracting, there are apps likes Coffitivity that create chattering white noise. It sounds crazy, but it can really help me focus at times.

Great suggestions, thank you! The only place I could even reasonably put ads is the beginning, since interrupting the flow in the middle would be terrible, and people are ostensibly asleep before they get to the end. Bit hard to sell that to an advertiser, I’d think, unless they are REALLY into subliminal advertising…

Why must my husband be so allergic to cats? WHY???? Bless you for your work with these cuddlebums.

A few weeks ago, my podcast Boring Books for Bedtime passed its one-year anniversary. I’ve had a podcast before (with another host), and it fizzled out after we missed a date here and there because of life, but this time I really committed to it, hit every week, and worked to build an audience (on social media, blech).…

I worked on a project in Doral that included a prominent mention of the golf course, and I and the other designer went out of our way to work the label wording so we never had to mention that creep’s name. It was one of the more satisfying work things I’ve done. Petty, but satisfying.

Yeah, generally I’d say it’s the middle class white kid who is getting passed by. Unfortunately, in my direct experience, that kid’s parents will blame affirmative action for minorities for keeping their precious achiever out of the Ivies and start voting straight Republican tickets because that will totally fix The…

I totally understand what you’re saying. Personally, I try to do a lot, as well as attempt to educate others, as a science communicator, about just how massive and life-threatening a problem this is. Should I pat myself on the back? Is it “enough”? No, of course not. What could possibly be enough at this point?
