Wait until you learn how much they know about peri-/menopause—which affects 50% of the population. #GoodTimes
It is maddening how little doctors know about a condition that affects ~40% of the population.
Most women have uterine fibroids. Doctors have no idea why.

Spent the past week leading Ferris Bueller tours at the Art Institute of Chicago—and arriving early means wandering the galleries. One stop I never skip: “American Gothic.” Painted in 1930, modeled by Grant Wood’s sister and… their dentist. 👀 (1/3)

And it’s boring as hell. 🤷🏼♀️
The honey story in Marty Supreme is Marty's "this is who we are" story: it's how he is all the time—desperation, rage, ruse, daring, shamelessness—to which he adds some implicit hyperbole all his own: that he, too, is fighting to survive and is his near-and-dears' only way out.

You know those nutty people who purchase a new, perfectly fine piece of furniture and then immediately after delivery, paint it the color they actually wanted? [waves from the Chicago suburbs]

That’s…odd. “The new owners of the Chicago house featured in the film commissioned him to sculpt a replica of his iconic tarantula scene for display.”
