Friendly reminder that dishwashers made after 1995 or so are so water and energy efficient that even if you ran them twice fully loaded it would still use less water than handwashing the same load.
So many "green" things feel like sacrifices. Dishwashers are not one of them.

So I was loaning this book to a student and got completely choked up (tears too) when trying to describe what it’s about. I haven’t read it in years, I just remember crying when I read it.

Yes, and also, this is where I remind folks that most rules for "formal" English were invented in the Victorian Era by hucksters trying to make a pound off people feeling anxious about their position in society

"Exit 8" movie is out in Japan (based on the popular creepy video game). A special collaboration at Shin-Nagata Station in Kobe City recreates the familiar underground passageway, along with anomalies!

Libraries are actual magic. They practically raised me. Seeing my book in libraries makes me happier than just about anything in the universe.
