There are not enough broadcast awards in the world to recognize the genius that is @ayesharascoe . This morning's @NPRWeekend , from her convo with astrophysicist @astro_beauty to her singing throwdown with @nprscottsimon .....best two hours of NPR ever recorded.

Plot device in far too many otherwise well-respected novels I've read recently: "And then on the second try I randomly guessed his computer password." There just has to be another way. One capitalization, one punctuation mark, and the deal is off. It just seems impossible to me.

You know when characters in a novel are just such awesome people that you wish they were real even if you wouldn’t know them just so you could feel happy about their lives? That’s how I’m feeling about @csittenfeld ‘s Sally + Noah.

Are the editors and producers of @RadioBoston on strike too? I'm sure teen basketball phenom AJ from Brockton is a terrific young man, but Tiziana Dearing's interview was the most painful 3-hour listening experience in recent memory.

Fellow #journalists, what are you doing about asking ppl's pronouns during short minor interviews? I'm interviewing seniors (by phone) about a fitness trend. Finding it hard to ask each one.

Is there now no way to read the Sunday @KindleNYTimes on @AmazonKindle? I used to buy it weekly through @amazon .

Pretty sure @NPRinskeep (or his @MorningEdition scriptwriters) just urged the American public to practice hands-free driving. No Steve, it's hands-free everything else - calling, texting - but hands-ON driving! ☺️
Here's the link to my @BostonGlobe story which will run this Sunday. It's about how members of the clergy are summoning a sense of rebirth and renewal in this third pandemic Easter. Many thanks to @FatherTim and @peacebang and several others..... bostonglobe.com/2022/04/08/m…

All the "giving stuff away" sites I belong to specify "contactless pickup." I'm so glad, because when I have an old armchair or some board games to repurpose, I definitely expect to hug and kiss whoever comes to take them.
VERY excited to have a new session of my memoir writing class coming up at @ThoreauFarm -- and this time we'll actually BE at #ThoreauFarm! thoreaufarm.org/its-your-sto…
