@Macronomicus I think his point is the distinction between the Church of Satan & the Satanic Temple (which is probably the organization you're thinking of, known for attention-grabbing public campaigns such as after-school satan clubs and supporting satanist's abortion rights).
@teaberryblue@NotLasers good news is it's worth negative dollars, bad news is it takes millions of dollars to keep online every year......let's put that down as a "maybe"
@TheJulieBenson Depends on the genre/how many cliffhangers there are! I tend to marathon netflix shows and parcel out everything else 1-2 eps per day/week.
@alexandraknew@MaintenancePod the study is like, hmm, interesting result! come back when you've studied more than *checks smudged writing on hand* 20 people for 2 nights.
but the headline is just irresponsible
I mean it's an interesting question & worthy of study but I just don't think the data is comprehensive enough to merit shout-it-from-the-rooftops reporting
I am so annoyed by this article. Full of definitive statements that this is proven to have negative consequences based on a study of 20(!) people over 2(!) days. Really?
Just a night or two of exposure to faint artificial light, like a TV, is enough to raise your pulse and increase insulin resistance β factors that raise the risk of heart disease and diabetes, researchers find.

@sigridellis It gets less so after Blackbeard shows up, but I'd be hard-pressed to recommend my "watch half of each episode through your fingers with the sound turned off" technique
@GWillowWilson I listened to the Maintenance Phase episode on sleep in December and there's a lot of fearmongering in the world of sleep, which seems to most rest on shaky scientific foundations. can't say if that's the case here! https://t.co/ve11itdFvb
@GWillowWilson I'm not a sleep scientist but I am extremely dubious about the citations on the website they linked, which includes a list of cancers that would increase due to daylight savings time....citing an article on Medium?
@dipping_sauce π¬ glad you're okay! I had to do the "finger wrapped in paper towel & scotch tape" pharmacy trip of shame once and I've kept a good supply of bandaids ever since
@PrincelyPomsky The part of the song that's included was all I had (I find writing poetry very intimidating). If you want to finish it, go ahead with my blessings! I would be honored π
@GWillowWilson If you haven't already heard this trick...picked it up from a friend two years ago and summer has been way less mosquito-hellish since. The spoon has to be really hot though, or it won't work https://t.co/wVsyNkt33p
@fowoart π Oh my gosh, they're beautiful! You really nailed the lighting and the magic of the moment and the colors are beautiful and so vibrant π₯Ί is that really your first try at transformers, because they turned out amazing? And such a tricky pose too!
@dipping_sauce π thank you! gosh I just realized I hadn't posted in MEEP yet, I think I made a sentimental post in every other tangentially writing related space.....

So much gratitude to everyone who read along with me and told me it was worth continuing (and a huge shout out to Bex for helping edit all ~330 thousand words + the Finishing Taking Care discord for cheering me on for those last 9 chapters)
