this makes more sense to me as well, and sounds more age-appropriate than the kind of discussion described in the article. 

6 year olds should know about the history of slavery, but they don’t have a lot of contemporary history under the belts, and most don’t have a great capacity for understanding broader aspects of social justice. Tying the discussion to bullying might make sense because most preschools and kindergartens really hit on…

FINALLY! This has been my only pet peeve with Google Calendar. I’ve always hated the fact that Google put any invite I receive on my default calendar, with no way to move it.

I would love to give the mail carrier 95% of the mail I receive. 

I can’t tell if you’re completely insane, or if this is a deeper level of sarcasm that mere mortals are not equipped to understand.

I love the image of baby boomers cowering in fear that someone might utter “OK” in their general direction. 

now history will remember them as the best underappreciated controller of all time.  They’ll unseat the Duke controller’s crown.

I’m perhaps the few that liked this controller. I got it on a whim as part of the Dark Souls 3 combo and it grew on me. Sadly, I accidentally destroyed its usb and haven’t found a way to replace it.

I am one of the biggest stoners you find in your life, but i have to side with the FDA on this one. I’m so goddamn tired of my stoner friends trying to tell me i can dip my nuts in CBD oil to cure blue balls and other assorted (less satirical, but just as ridiculous) applications. I really wish they’d crack down on a…

I want to praise this post, in combination with its update, as being excellent. Being in the grays, though, no one will ever see it. I’ll just be philosophical about it, I guess.

Here for this,

This is infuriating. We are so ill-equipped to know exactly what procedures are being done to us, what medicines were used, and how much they should cost.
It’s impossible to keep track of if unconscious, but even if awake, imagine trying to keep track.
“Ok honey, remember to breathe! You’re doing great! Wait, what did…

So... we now have actual scientific evidence for the answer to life, the universe, and everything? Douglas Adams really was a true genius!

I was a groomsman in a wedding, and just before the bride walked down the aisle, while lined up at the altar, my (poorly tailored...) tuxedo pants fell down in front of 100+ people.

Yeah, it’s that 1% that bugs me. I work my balls off all day so I get to do 100% of what I want at home. I don’t wanna do that compromise. Also I like to fuck in my kitchen. The counters and the bar are perfect for some very fun positions ^^ 

That’s about 100% improved. We need to go see this film the first weekend, if for no other reason than... A Hollywood studio fucking listened to it’s fans for once. We will also need to skip TROS for the exact opposite reason. :)

This is another amazing write-up, Heather. I love to read your stories and gather some insight into what you do and how it’s done.

There Is Joy In The Work

”When you’re in it, it doesn’t often feel like a grind at all. Do it right, and it feels like sailing.”

Hey Heather, great article and thank you for sharing. Quite a whirlwind couple of weeks in the kinja-verse, to say the least. We all really appreciate your and the rest of Kotaku’s efforts. The personal touches you guys put into your work is what has made Kotaku my go-to for video game journalism for years.

Not exactly the same thing, but I have a condition that makes me have to pee, uh, all the time. It’s like I broke the seal ten years ago and then just never replaced it.

It’s probably not as bad as I haven’t changed my diet or anything, but I tangentially feel your pain. I’m IBS adjacent?
