@LandsEnd trying to order a monogrammed tote and the discount code isn’t applying to the bag (I understand monograms aren’t discounted) does this mean if I monogram a bag the bag is excluded from the discount?
Something I've been thinking about since 2017 is how rigid work schedules are a way to keep women over 30 out of the workplace. Because married women, women who have children, women who are caregivers are all professional and mature and able to accomplish a lot, but they all need flexible schedules. Rigid schedules seem efficient but they actually limit how much work can be done because they lock so many people out
@OldNavy I’ve been waiting for 3 weeks for a package I ordered in March to arrive. Contained gifts for Easter and now two birthdays that have past and the delivery date continues to get pushed with no real update. Need an honest update and probably a replaced order please
The scariest finding in this paper: the subjects couldn't tell it was happening.
UPenn ran this study on 48 healthy adults. One group slept 8 hours. Another slept 6. Another slept 4. For 14 straight days. They tested cognitive performance every 2 hours from 7:30am to 11:30pm.
The 6-hour group's reaction times, working memory, and sustained attention deteriorated on a near-linear curve. By day 14 they were performing at the same level as someone who hadn't slept at all in 48 hours. The 4-hour group hit that threshold by day 6.
Here's the part that should unsettle everyone who thinks they "do fine" on 6 hours: the subjects' self-reported sleepiness flatlined after the first few days. Their brains kept getting worse. Their perception of how impaired they were stopped updating. The cognitive decline was invisible to the person experiencing it.
The researchers found a hard threshold. Any wakefulness beyond 15.84 hours in a day produces cumulative neurobiological cost. That cost compounds every single day you exceed it and does not reset with a weekend of sleeping in.
About 35% of American adults sleep less than 7 hours a night. 40% of those get 6 hours or less. In 1942 that number was 11%. We built an entire professional culture around a sleep schedule that this paper says is functionally equivalent to pulling consecutive all-nighters.
"I'm fine on 6 hours" is the most common response to sleep research. The first thing chronic sleep debt destroys is your ability to notice chronic sleep debt.
anyone else have this recurring dream:
you realize you are 2-3 months into a really important college course....and you straight up haven’t been to class ONE time, done any assignments, or taken any exams
and that F is about to tank your GPA for the semester

It’s not ‘vegan leather’, it’s plastic.
It’s not ‘vegan wool’, it’s plastic.
It’s not ‘vegan leather’, it’s plastic.
It’s not ‘vegan fur’, it’s plastic.
It’s all plastic, and every time you wash it, or damage it, or try to dispose of it, that plastic ends up in the water, in the earth, in the air.
Meanwhile, wool is 100% renewable and biodegradable.
Reject veganism. Use wool. Save the planet.
