Non-native English Speakers, what’s a word from your language that you think is perfect that doesn’t have an English equivalent?

Take us to church.

@peterhartlaub @sfchronicle Torpedo Joe’s used to be our Friday night date spot - bowl of chili and Italian sandwich. Then movie at the Metreon, or maybe some tunes at the Virgin Megastore. Halcyon days. @ShmoovyShmoov

@ThinkHero Of course I take it home, then @ShmoovyShmoov secretly throws it away after neither of us has eaten it two weeks later.

What’s the best thing you ever found inside the pages of a second-hand book? Me, I think it’s a 57-year-old child’s paper flower that stained the pages of this 1965 edition of The William Saroyan Reader. Pics if you still have the ‘thing’.

@FabianNicieza @PutnamBooks I will definitely be reading Widow next. I used to read your comics, and was absolutely delighted to discover that you not only wrote books, but that the books were good. For whatever it’s worth, I hope @PutnamBooks signs you up for more.

[Jenny Chu @sleepyemu]

@FabianNicieza @PutnamBooks I just finished Suburban Dicks, and loved it. Can’t wait to read the next, and any others that come after that.

@kellyyanghk @ryanbeckwith The #FrontDeskSeries is wonderful. We bought our copies from local independent bookstores, where we have seen your books prominently displayed. Thank goodness for diverse authors telling diverse stories, and the people who support them. @BooksIncStores @GreenAppleBooks

What are stories that inspire you?

I set out to create a MASSIVE, positive Forbes article featuring over 80 creative storytellers in incredibly diverse industries and experiences. Here are their stories 🌟

Congratulations on your retirement, Mr. Lien @Courtartist .
Great respect and fondest regards to you.

@angryasianman @PeabodyAwards So much congratulations! You are such a powerful voice for our community. (And that's before you leveled up with @ATAOST ) #bayarearepresent

@peterhartlaub Would it be viable to let people buy short-term access, like 1 or 2 weeks or 1 month (if a la carte isn’t an option)? Sometimes I don’t want to commit to a subscription, but I wouldn’t mind paying $5-8 for the week.

[Jenny Chu @sleepyemu]

@moonwalkmcfly @GrantBrisbee @Fall_of_Civ_Pod Absolutely agree. @Fall_of_Civ_Pod hooked me, my husband, and my son.

@omnivorebooks Hi Celia! Any chance you have anything with info re Momofuku Ando (inventor of instant noodles)? My son is doing a school report, and we haven’t been able to find anything in English. Even a food history compendium/encyclopedia will do. Thank you!

Thinking about biological collections lately I'm reminded of the time that somehow at age 4, I got a personal tour of the @UCBerkeley entomology collection (Essig?) from a kind scientist (anybody know who?!). Asked my parents how on earth THAT happened, and it turns out...🤯

@Anikadrawls @MLB @SFGiants @FoldenFastpitch @baseballfor_all @IWBC4Me @SabrWomen @womens_baseball @PGHWSports @BaseballCANWNT @thelilynews @latimessports I love that my kids get to see Alyssa Nakken as a contributing member of the team they root for. They also attend @SFGiantsCamps every summer, and have always had female coaches. #gogiants

@BOMBAS That is disappointing to hear, but thank you for the reply.

[Jenny Chu @sleepyemu]

@BOMBAS Will you be restocking the youth ankle gripper socks? I wanted to order more after buying some in a family pack, but it seems that the site no longer sells them. Thank you.

[Jenny Chu @sleepyemu]

@peterhartlaub @ForbiddenIsland @SirMeatwad_ @HSarcade @FitzTheReporter Thank you for the recommendation. We went, we saw, we purchased, we purchased more, we even planned the next purchase. Kids giggled and goggled all the way home. @ShmoovyShmoov

[Jenny Chu @sleepyemu]

@nprbooks @pchh Thank you @gretamjohnsen and @lindaholmes for the great recommendations, which I am downloading as we speak. I also wanted to put in a vote for the amazing Tim Curry reading the Sabriel series by @garthnix
