#FridayReads Just started The Orphan Master's Son, by Adam Johnson (rec'd to me ages ago by @HillenmeyerSara). Most recent great sentence: "A grubby man was sleeping on a bench, and they marveled at it, a person sleeping any place he wished."
@GretchenAMcC I once lost over a year's streak when going US to Australia, but that was quite a while ago. I'm glad they have 2 streak freezes available now!
Also contains a surprise indirect mention of me! (though that might be an Easter egg that I appreciate more than anyone else π) So proud to have helped a bit in the creation of Bunnyland, and to be BFFs with the awesome Andy. ππ
This interview was so good! (Kudos to the student hosts; wish I'd had a podcast like this around as a grad student.) It's by turns fun, informative (about cog sci, stats & edu, but I also learned some new methods for coping with anxiety omg), vulnerable, & heartwarming.
@lisaeckstein@kathrynbck Fascinating! I'm pretty sure I didn't get any cards for either my mammogram or colonoscopy. I got two following my hysterectomy, IIRC -- one from the folks in the OR, and one from the folks in recovery.
