LOL

Often I am laughing out loud. I hate thinking about punctuation. “Lol” and “haha” are perfect replacements for commas and periods

Laughing out loud

No literally I just laughed out loud on the sidewalk and I do it all the time. Usually with my AirPods in so I don’t notice how loud it is. But if I’m texting my friend and they say something funny, what am I to do? Feels good.

thinking about how abbreviations started

how many people were fully typing ‘laugh out loud’ before one guy was like ‘wait.’ how many people loved each other so much they wanted to be able to say it quicker. like a reflex.

sleeping with stuffed animals as an adult

This NYT piece from last year explains why it’s actually a Good and Normal thing to do. I used to have like six in the bed at once but recently culled my crew to two practical ones: this sleeping Charmander plushie, which I hug while I’m in the fetal position, and an Ugly Doll I put between my knees because it’s nice and flat. They're so comfy and I fall asleep in 30 seconds like this (also they’re cute and I love them)

The best trick for getting around paywalls

in Chrome is going to settings --> privacy and security --> site settings --> JavaScript. Under "not allowed to use JavaScript" add the sites you want to access. This is the only trick I've found that works 100% of the time. Video players and widgets that use JavaScript won't work of course but if you want to read something without a pop-up telling you to turn off your adblocker followed by another pop-up saying you've reached your article limit this will do it.
