The exact setup my kids would seek out as toddlers for a good napping spot. Freaked me out as a parent trying to find them, but I get it. Cozy, secure, blocks out the world.

I want one.

Rest easy, Dave. And thank you. 💛

What a nightmare process. Where I'm at they can have someone lined up for a position but still have to post it, screen applicants, then pick the person they already wanted for the role, a big waste of time. But what you're describing, good grief, that's horrible for everyone, even the people outside of the hiring process.

Well said. There's a part of me that desperately wants to know there is a true, pure species on this planet that doesn't stoop to sick levels of cruelty, but that's not reality. Bambi noms baby birds, cetaceans mutilate each other's babies, and we do the unthinkable every second of every day. Depressing, but here we are.

^ The Libby app works great for audiobooks, too!

It's contagious as heck. I've never been to the South but somehow y'all fitted itself into my lexicon.

It's so frustrating that this is true. I use devices until they're dead or at risk of serious compromise before getting another, but the only options are ones that I can't even hold comfortably with one hand. I'm seriously considering the Jelly 2 at this point.

Everything about this is magical. 😍

This is such great news. I read Rebecca Skloot's book The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks which dug deep into the family to a degree I don't necessarily agree with. The generational poverty, racism, and countless other wrongs the family endured was laid out, and of course, it also included the internal family strife. Hopefully this settlement is a new start for the family.
