"Chips and salsa while you wait" should be a thing everywhere, not just Mexican restaurants. Trip to the bank? Chips and salsa. Oil change? Chips and salsa. Therapy session? CHIPS. AND. SALSA. You can't tell me we don't deserve this after the last few years.

I very rarely drink, maybe four times a year, and don't use marijuana, but I do know that on the rare times I drink, I can't do anything productive. I also just don't think it's a good habit to get into. There's no reason to destroy your liver for creativity.

I mention food a lot in my fantasy series 'The Eirenic Verses' because food is one of the most accessible elements of culture and teaches you a lot about the people. Everything from climate, interpersonal relations, and family ties are wrapped up in food production and presentation.

Going back and forth like this is the best way to get yourself even more stuck. Instead, keep a foldable shovel, ice melt, and kitty litter in your car. Shovel out as best you can, sprinkle ice melt, then pour kitty litter under the tires. Gives you more traction so you can get out.

It's always been the case that "buying" an ebook from amazon was only actually a loan they could rescind at any point, but lately Amazon have gone harder on this, and it is 100% so that they can wipe banned books from your libraries without your consent. Buy direct from authors. Get your files.

I think having a filter is a good and important thing when interacting with other people one on one, actually. "I don't have a filter" is code for "I don't care about the fact that I'm hell to be around" and it's a massive, rancid red flag to me
