Lessons in Chemistry
Bonnie Garmus
The book of lessons and chemistry shows the outline of a woman’s face with glasses, and a pencil holding her hair in a bun. It’s an orange book cover. In the background, a black cat sits on a white couch, looking out at orange fall leaves. A lamp is on on a table.

@celestinadratz.bsky.social gave the green light for “burnout” rather than “burning” as it’s the closest quote I have.

“How can I be humble, if I’m gonna live forever?” - Chris Staples - Cloud Souvenirs - Burnout Together - 11/4/24

@celestinadratz.bsky.social: THANKS FOR PLAYING. ☺️

A whiteboard with a thought bubble on it, and a quote inside that reads, “ I still hope your name don’t appear in some obituary. I know it’s so unclear when you’ve begged so long on bruised knees… couldn’t feel… couldn’t convince myself I was real. … cause it’s not the way that you…. … it’s what they want to see…” ~Hoping You’re Doing Okay ~Greg Mendez A whiteboard with a thought bubble on it, and a quote inside that reads, “We seem to be bored with thinking itself - we want to instantly know. And knowing is, of course, the sensation of thinking.” ~Maria Popova To the side of the whiteboard, there is a painting of a man with a mustache wearing a bowler derby. A whiteboard with a thought bubble on it, and a quote inside that reads, “Is everyone really crazy but me?” ~Shirley Jackson ~ The Lottery and Other Stories ~ Colloquy The whiteboard is hung on a cinderblock wall painted cream. In front is a man whose picture was taken with a double exposure. There are two faces both of him. He is bald. Behind is a painting of a man in a bowler derby. A whiteboard with a thought bubble on it, and a quote inside that reads, “ between stimulus and response. There is a space. In that space is a power to choose our response. In our response, lies our growth and our freedom.” -Victor Frankl, psychologist & Holocaust survivor (as quoted in “A World We Might Have Built” by J.E. Misz

Buy this one.
Ask your library to buy this one if you are out of money.

5/5: We are given gifts, but we have to work with them. Those who are familiar with the work of J.E. Misz understand that the talent is there. And we know that talent alone is not enough: dedication....

Loved the episode!!!

I did think it was funny:

Mojo: Don’t you dare EVER apologize for ska. …Also, sorry about the Mojo & OL album. And I only like 15% of our catalog. 😂😂😂

But it was a great episode. And the prof at the end had no idea. 😂 Totally worth it.

A bed knobs and broomsticks movie cover shows five people flying through the sky in a bed, with a moon in the background. There’s a bunch of weird stuff on the cover, too. Like a cartoon lion, a rhinoceros dressed in maybe a tutu? Some sea creatures that are forming a band. Stuff like that.

And how many do you STILL have memorized?
bleary.off-the-records.com bleary @bleary.off-the-records.com · Oct 13
If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.
Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing? 2? Questions I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up. Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?

I’m halfway; taking it slow.

I read a lot of poetry - but this is the most powerful collection I’ve read since Madness by Sam Sax.

Buy it.

It won’t get the accolades of established authors, but Misz has put in the time and delivered the extraordinary.
