Then the dumbest of all: Ann goes into a coma after drinking a grasshopper laced with insulin. If you drink insulin, it doesn’t get into your bloodstream. At worst, you’d get a stomachache and throw up.

Norma had an embolism because, when she gave herself her (once daily??) insulin shot, there was an air bubble in the syringe that got into her bloodstream. You inject insulin into your fatty tissue, not your vein—so an air bubble wouldn’t cause any harm apart from not getting a high enough dose.

TV shows and movies almost always get the facts of type 1 diabetes wrong (“The Pitt” being a notable exception). But I’ve never seen a script be as cartoonishly inaccurate about it as “Palm Royale.” (Spoilers ahead)

Thinking about this passage from @jarodkanderson.bsky.social’s “Something in the Woods Loves You” as I continue my job search. When I was younger and journalism was less broken, I used to find a sense of purpose in my work, because it *meant* something to me. I don’t know the last time I felt that.

I never thought I’d get the chance to see my all-time fave Rilo Kiley play live, so screaming along to “A Better Son/Daughter” amidst a sea of fellow skinny-jeaned millennials tonight felt pretty goddamn special.

You know what is not great for writer’s block, is when your adorable but very bored dog is staring at you like this from across the room whilst emitting a series of perturbed whimpering noises

In retrospect, I probably should’ve known that trying to make a cold-brew slushee with an immersion blender would turn out this way.

Binged all the press screeners for “Overcompensating” in one afternoon. It’s like “The Sex Lives of College Girls” only much funnier and way gayer. Y’all are gonna have a blast.
