@patrickrhone This is a lesson that took me a long time to learn.

\n\n

It’s also okay to take a break—even very long breaks—from a book.

\n\n

I put down Ron Chernow’s massive autobiography of Ulysses S. Grant after 200 pages earlier this year because it just wasn’t appealing to me at the time, despite being written with Chernow’s customary brilliance and dedication.

\n\n

I do look forward to picking it up again . . . just not right now.

@patrickrhone I keep seeing this one floating around, and it’s a great article. But I’ve been meaning to point out that one can’t be in a nonconsensual BDSM relationship. Consent is a vital element in BDSM. Without it, it’s not a BDSM relationship, just an abusive one. Which I think get’s to the real point: Twitter is like being in an abusive relationship.

@ben they literally do make Lysol smell for that reason. When Febreez, Lysol, and similar products were first created, they didn’t sell well because, while they worked (i.e. they killed bacteria and eliminated odors), they left no indication they’d been used. But when the creators added a scent to the product, so that it didn’t just eliminate odors but also left behind its own “fresh and clean” scent, sales skyrocketed. This is also the same reason toothpaste tastes minty: the first toothpastes were effective, but they didn’t taste “fresh”, so no one understood why they needed to use them.
