No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

Punishingly Intricate

Does he not have a pcp he can see?

Our wings are not tired.

RIP, Captain Holt. I pretended you were related to me.

I'll try and get the big guy to his PCP today. Wish me luck.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Good luck, Laura!

I did manage to get up and eat last night - bless frozen yakisoba noodle meals. I couldn’t find anything to watch that didn’t poke a tender spot, but then I found Song of the Thin Man and started that. Old movies I’ve never seen may be a go to for now.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

The Thin Man series is a good choice. Love me some Asta.

I was surprised and saddened to hear about Braugher. 61 is pretty young. (She says from the far too close age of 57.)

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Oh no! RIP Mr. Braugher.

They pay me in WOIMS

This sounds amazing: CAR-T therapy forces autoimmune diseases into remission.

Yeah, that's pretty incredible!

Good luck, Laura! I hope everything is just fine with Brendon's leg and it turns out to be just lingering soreness that's lingering too long.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

This thing where good people die and bad people flourish is getting pretty fucking old. Besides Andre Braugher, a fandom friend's husband is dying at 42, two months after a cancer diagnosis.

Can't just leave without claiming another victim. (Ironically, maybe the perfect talent for expressing this moment.)
