  • I’m 43 and I had to retire my favorite stuffed animal because his arm was getting threadbare and I was afraid it would fall off, so now he sits on my makeup desk. His name is Rufus and he was Avon’s Christmas 1982 Plush Puppy.

    My current stuffed animal is a lion cub I bought in the mid-2000s to take with me on my study abroad in Paris. His name is Ruffles (like the potato chip).










  • The source material isn’t great. Interesting concept but painful execution at times. The three novels (Wool, Shift, and Dust) read like YA. I stubbornly read my way through them during pandemic but it was rough going and I ended up donating them to my library because I knew I’d never want to read them again.

    I’ve watched the first two seasons of the show, and I think they’re doing a reasonably good job given how mediocre the novels are. Pacing and characters making dumb decisions are both problems, but they were problems in the books too.
