@JeffreySconce I drink very creamy iced coffee and honestly it is delicious and efficient!

@nataliemj10 This room, would it include a crematorium to dispose of the pile of bodies, mine included?

[Alyssa Goldberg 🧶🧵📊 @WireMonkey]

@mrgunn Will this be accessible afterwards? I'd like to attend, and am happy to purchase a ticket, but likely won't be able to pull the time from my work day to see it.

Does anyone else get lulled into the myth that the week between Christmas and New Year's Day is a quiet, only to be slammed by urgent last-minute projects? I had to explain to my young co-workers that in my 18 years at the firm, there has never been a slow last week of the year.

Despite my name, I was raised Catholic (Mom is Catholic and Judaism flows through the maternal line, ergo...) I can find zero lies in this delightful thread. The details may differ across the nations and ethnicities of Christendom, but the scaffold remains the same.

Growing up, my Muslim family never celebrated Christmas. This year I am not going home, because pandemic, so my roommates are teaching me how to have my first proper Christmas.

I am approaching this with anthropological precision.

Here are a few observations.

@zenrhino I'd settle for one of those really comfortable border baby cage, after all, it's just like summer camp.

@RichardFitchNYC Never assign to malice that which can be explained by incompetence...
