You deserve to laugh. You deserve this thread. Had a hard time not waking up @dudaski with my uncontrollable giggling from a few of these early this morning:
it’s time for another round of: please tell me about a time you laughed so hard you cried. (not from tv/movies/internet. It has to be an IRL situation) Even if it’s an inside joke and you don't think it will be funny to anyone else – i still want to hear it. thank you

This thread is so lovely. ✨❤️✨ Hoping this becomes more and more the norm and not the exception.
Replying to @franklinleonard
I'd love to read a bunch of personal stories from LGBTQIA folks who had an unexpectedly positive experience with coming out to their parents and what it meant for and to them. I could be wrong, but I suspect such a collection would also be valuable to future parents generally.

How did we come to rely on graphs and #dataviz? "The invention of graphs and charts was a much quieter affair than that of the telescope, but these tools have done just as much to change how and what we see"—@FryRsquared, in a phenomenal @NewYorker piece newyorker.com/magazine/2021/…

After being starved of live music the last 15 months - this is revelatory
When the mop top can no longer be contained within a hat, it’s time to go. RIP pandemic mane + kudos to y’all who can grow your hair out and not look a sweaty shaggy mess.
