Nothing reminds you of the steady march of time like legal research. Just had to update my date cut off from 2001 to 2010 😵.
This must be why partners stop doing their own research…

When Amazon launched in 1995, there were 5,500 indie bookshops in the U.S., with 7,000 locations. By May of 2023, that number had decreased to 2,185 indies & 2,599 locations.
When you purchase audiobooks via Libro.fm vs. Audible, you directly support indie bookshops. Let's make that number grow ❤️

Not all of us get to live out our dreams or reach the goals we've worked so hard for, but every day life is going to give you the chance to BE the person you've always dreamed of being - brave, kind, noble, just, empathetic, heroic. That's something neither life nor circumstance can ever deny you.
people over 30 quote this with some life advice for the rest of us?

Alright, writers. Take a cue from Lynch: go be your weird damn selves and leave some fucking art in this world before you're gone.

Nothing makes one confront their control issues quite like being swaddled in an infrared sauna blanket by a stranger like a trapped microwave burrito.
