For me, podcasts specifically about going to sleep to them trigger my contrariness too much to be actually relaxing. It’s gotta be on a normal topic that is just the right balance of interesting, but not exiting/engaging.

History typically scratches that itch for me. Dan Carlin’s hardcore history and the history of the English being the two goats that coke immediately to mind. Camp Monsters is also a great one; the rare fiction podcast that I can actually stand, much less relaxes me enough to sleep.

There are some truly terrible remixes on repeat in TJ Maxx/Marshall’s/Homegoods as well.

Be so serious, Mariah Carey’s is far from the worst Christmas song in retail.

It truly is like that Margaret Atwood quote, about men being afraid women will laugh at them, and women being afraid men will kill them.

Next time I’m in an airport food court I’ll try to really take in the view of the cinnabon next to the starbucks.

You’d think, but unfortunately it do be like that for those of us with female phenotypes.

Nah, there are a lot of retail songs waaayyyy more annoying than that one that would just take its place. At least that one has some talent involved lmao.

Libby is 100% compatible with kindle, has been for years. It’s the first prompt immediately after you check out the book; it asks if you want to read it in Libby, or have it sent to your kindle. I’d definitely recommend it, it couldn’t be more seamless.

I think people missed your sarcasm lol

Why are you feeling the need to have your protein shakes in secrecy?

An elective surgery you call it, an investment in their vision, I call it. Not everyone has vision as part of their insurance, and contacts/glasses/exams can get expensive without (or even with, depending on the policy). Viewed in that way, LASIK can definitely be seen as an investment.

The second Apple rolled out face ID, I knew this tech was ready and waiting for forced ads
