People with glasses and contacts have to realize that we have a disability that just happens to be highly accommodated for in modern society and that accommodation is the only reason why poor eyesight is not considered a disability.

Additionally, this is why they make you put your seat back up before take off and landing (so the person behind you doesn’t smack into it as hard if there is a…sudden deceleration.)

After that plane literally flipped upside down after smashing into the runway and 100% of people survived, I hope every person who ever said “what’s even the point of seatbelts on a plane” feels like a real doof.

Road temperatures have remained below freezing. We have received reports of freezing rain in Belmont County, OH and accidents on I-70. If you are out on the roads, take it slow and give yourself some extra time.

My new bathroom wall cabinet is waiting to be assembled, and I’m very excited — love putting this kind of thing together. Best Valentine’s Day gift to myself!

If you wanted to decrease the cost of homes, one thing you wouldn’t do is put a flat tariff on your main source of timber.

Here is where I am too.
This week has been so over-the-top banana pants on work, news, and personal fronts that I feel like I will need to space out having the feelings on individual things over the rest of my life because I am physically too small to process them all faster than that. I feel eerily calm.

Important that other Pittsburghers understand the historical context and gravity of recent events in the grocery store world
Okay so Giant Eagle is owned by a kind of Renaissance Italian city-state coalition of five families. The latest of them in power were the Shapiras, who have led the chain since 1968. They just fell from power in 2023. Also now the chairman, for the first time ever, is not of the Five Families

For many years when people asked me what inspired me to write, I would say "my mortgage." They laughed, which was the intent, but it was also true. Writing is my job, I don't have another. If I don't write, bills don't get paid.
Years ago I went to sci-fi con. Richard Lynch was a guest of honor. He was a great character actor. He had the best answer in a Q&A ever. A woman asked what was his criteria for choosing a role. Without missing a beat, he replied, “ The rent was due”.

Writing tip: After you finish, go back & cut all the adverbs. Then all the adjectives. Then all the other words. Eat the paper. Now you're free.

Going forward, many people are going to tell you that you are required to respect them or listen to them or agree with them or be nice to them because some politician or intellectual or billionaire said so, and I am here to preemptively remind you that you are still free to tell them to fuck off. 😘
