The Christmas episode of the UK series Misfits (maybe in Season One? If not, then in an early season -- the one with the random baby) is one of my favouite TV Christmas episodes of all time, and "I would steal from other babies!" is a brilliant line of comedy dialogue, delivered perfectly, that has never left me.

My brain is going that thing it does again. *Singing the lyrics of "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" to the tune of Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas is You."

Wondering if I could substitute dried, reconstituted Chinese red dates (jujubes) and lemon juice for apples in a recipe... I'm going to have to experiment with this. (Why not just use apples? They're one of the highest fruit sources of microplastics, based on what I've read. I don't know why this is.) #Food #Microplastics

There are two important, active characters in The Vendetta of An who use mobility devices -- far more if you count the different instances of kinds of walking sticks and canes. It's all presented as normal and not stigmatized. #DisabilityRep #RepresentationMatters #TheVendettaOfAn #Netflix

I just read the phrase "babies in the randomized, controlled trial" and my mind conjured up the most joyful image of putting babies into a big sack and shaking them in order to randomize them. *I am not advocating doing this in real life, you weirdos. **In my mental image, this is making the babies very happy.
