Thanks, @whitneycummings for keeping me up well past my bedtime for the past week because I couldn't stop reading and shaking the bed with laughter (as my husband attempted in vain to sleep beside me)!⁠

I heard this today as I was listening to an older @lewishowes hall of fame podcast. The quote is based on this one from @alain_de_botton⁠

The thing about "mystery" illness is that it tends to make your world smaller. Having to leave a full-time job, bowing out of dinner gatherings, avoiding crowds, losing friends, hiding in a safe non-toxic bubble... these are all potential consequences of… https://t.co/HCriF0TVOC

Who else has heard of ASMR? Not sure that I've really missed the boat on this trend. After a bit of research on the heals of reading an article in my in-flight magazine yesterday, it seems to be a relatively new phenomenon without a whole lot of scientif… https://t.co/bsjoabYevk
