As always a fantastic interview! @jessethorn.bsky.social/bullseye team are the best in the biz. As somebody working in disability education, it was really beautiful and moving to hear Joe talk about his son, thanks for creating that moment

I read like thirteen Dresden novels in a week when I had shingles real bad and it was the only activity I could manage and it was perfect. They're so bad but also fantastic and I love them

Following up to say I got the annual and it's such a blast! I absolutely loved your essay and it really resonated with me in the heart of it being so much about the romance behind baseball, which is so much of why I love it. Thank you!

Something I started early in the pandemic and have continued is rotating through all the different frozen pizza brands in the store and it's become a great joy in my life!

I'm so hyped for a daily escape from everything.
Also hyped to read your essay! It'll be the first time I order an annual!

Maybe a silly question but when you upgrade does it take the amount you put in per month? I can't seem to find how often it runs! (Thanks much!)

Which boy would I love to, I'd gladly greatly inconvenience myself to not have to put myself at the mercy of so many systems that could break down

And even if UPS were to say "we're gonna make this right" (I'm fully expecting them to say they did nothing at all wrong) I don't even know what they could do. Not like they have Men In Black lights!
And there's no way around getting this drug mailed! It'd be impossible to go pick it up somewhere!

I'm constantly signing forms and giving out identifiable info to get life saving treatments or medications. Last night UPS delivered a $25k medication to the wrong address so now some rando has a syringe with my name on it and whatever other medical and personally identifiable data was on it

It's interesting that they list Chex and Crispix in the original recipe, I only know it in the Hatfield and McCoys sort of rivalry I've made the two options out to in my head (team Crispix forever and ever, it stays crispier and has more texture!)

That looks fantastic! And if you haven't had the fried chicken pizza from Mucci's before it's incredible!

I'm so excited to watch it! It's one of my favorite books and I can't wait - Jimmy O Yang is so great in everything he does

Was real hard to narrow it down to five! So many good books this year!
I also have a few I'm excited to read before the year is out - reading Annihilation right now and turns out the book a lotta people have liked is good! Excited to get to Bardugo's The Familiar and Lavin's Wild Faith

I loved the book as well and was so hyped my suggestion of it as the common read at the college I used to work at this year! Thank you for your work!

"we keep violently taking away your rights and you're dying because of it and I'm mad you aren't being nice about it!"

I really relate to the disconnection means burnout - I tend to spin my wheels in my head a lot when upset/frustrated/grieving at the world and then find such joy and hope many times through connection and small scale community building and I'm hoping to do that more

"wow everybody is coming in with POTS and other similar things since 2020, wish we could figure out if there's anything to it!" - far too many medical professionals

COVID has been a long string of "well things are only gonna get worse again from here huh" but this feels like we're at a precipice of them getting the worst they'll have been for awhile!

I share this mostly because it's next the anniversary and become a bit of a meme in the upper Midwest (maybe more?)- I think everybody had to sing it in grade school and it's a very MW chip on your shoulder because it's actually bigger than other shipwrecks etc etc

Thank you so much! I greatly appreciate you sharing your expertise!

As a related question for you but off topic - are there things the average person should be doing to protect data privacy going forward? Is it a losing battle/moot point? Good idea to get a VPN, watch where we put info, etc?
Thank you in advance!

I get those from my local one every once in awhile and they're usually open the next day or so, I always guess it's that the pharmacist or somebody couldn't make it that day and nobody could fill in, hope that's the case for yours!

I flipped to the Puerto Rico chapter in your book this morning in what's WILD timing (Also I'm super enjoying The Not Quite States of America and learning a ton!)

The quote "This genre of pieces was about bearing witness to suffering which I think is one of the most profound things we can do as people" rings so outstandingly true and is going to stick with me awhile
