I’d flip your mom’s position in bed.
I usually point to Sandman (Neil Gaiman) as best-in-genre, personally. But it’s like any genre – some people prefer Don Quixote, others prefer East of Eden.
You do the food crime, you do the food time.
That dude in your room is Jesus.
Exercise helped me, but didn’t work by itself.
Adding therapy helped more, but didn’t work by itself.
Adding meds helped more, but I don’t lean on them alone.
Which is just to say, it’s not either/or. :-)
That said, I started going on long nature hikes, usually 4-5 miles but up to 17 sometimes. Download podcasts and music for offline access. Later, my therapist suggested taking notes after my walks, about how I felt / what was on my mind – now I do it more often than not, and it’s been helpful too.
I think the plural is Margots Robbie.
Yikes! Stripes. :'(
I agree with the sentiment, but acktshually… https://blog.chromium.org/2021/01/limiting-private-api-availability-in.html
Tanking Janet Jackson’s career and slut-shaming Britney. Both were accepted behaviors at the time, but IMO that just makes it worse, he never even had to really account for it.

Either that or you’ll be sole-mates.
To be fair, it did really tie the room together.
Now I really want to know what the sexual equivalent of en passant would be.
As an engr manager, I’ve often seen disparity as a result of being hired during good years vs bad years for the company. Or when someone gets a better offer to leave, the company may change their pay but no one else’s. Or hiring externally vs a transfer from another internal team. Or whether the team is coding for frontend web vs dev tools, even if using the same language. Or if female.
It’s always a challenge for one person to fix – with HR, with the department head, with yearly budget. And sometimes fixing one disparity means not having the sway to fix another as well.
Which is to say – pay transparency and unions are good for everyone. And if the company can’t afford to treat the employees equitably, then the company shouldn’t exist. (Or it should reduce its avocado toast budget.)
The trick is to carefully check underneath the ice dispenser.
Unresolved Textual Tension is a great YouTube / podcast for book reviews and/or roasts. Generally a mix of fantasy and sci-fi, largely newer stuff (The Locked Tomb, Murderbot, Kushiel) with some classics thrown in (Dune, Hyperion). The show features 3 people with great chemistry.
The competition is indeed stiff.
If you don’t laugh, you didn’t get it, but if you ONLY laugh, you didn’t get it.
