That Intelligencer COVID article is fascinating. And Jenna Lyons is the best "housewife" ever, hands down.

This is exactly what I needed today. I have a saved folder on instagram named "breakfast burrito." Wake and Late in DTLA is the best I've ever had, discovered completely by chance, I could CRY about it. It's not a breakfast sandwich but love this spicy lil cousin. Egg/cheese/pork/potato surrounded by a carb is beautiful.

Also when I was in 7th grade, a kid in my science class pronounced organism as orgasm and no one has ever forgotten it.

I did the same thing. Iā€™m worried that was me.

Not unless your name was Joe S and you went to Roosevelt-Lincoln Junior High. I feel like there's one in every grade and we all hold great tenderness for that person because clearly they just lost the read-aloud lottery <insert Katniss Everdeen salute gif>

I loved "Lessons in Chemistry!" Of course the main character's experience of not being taken seriously because of her sex matches my experience at college and at work, so I had that connection. I'm glad you're enjoying the miniseries. It's on my list!

I made the pilgrimage from Ohio to Las Vegas last weekend to see U2 at The Sphere, too! Awesome experience!! I loved the Gen X nostalgia permeating the entire show, but my Gen Z kid was not impressed with the old folks rocking out to our old college faves šŸ˜‚

Breakfast sandwiches ---> this is one of our most treasured / used kitchen appliances! The sections that allow you to cook an egg while also melting the cheese, warming the bagel or muffin are incredible (though I don't eat eggs, I make mine without eggs and the same concept applies).

So it's the lipstick...I knew something made you glow as you do. My answer to all of life's great challenges is empathy. And for breakfast, perhaps Bacon-Egg-Avocado.
