Oh, methylphenidate, how I have *missed* you and members of your chemical families. Concentration, focus, executive function, I’ve missed you, too. Complaint: ADHD should NOT be in the psych world. It’s genetic, it’s biological; it’s not behavioral. It’s a physical condition.

A good way to tell elder millennials from younger ones is to shriek-sing “PEACHES COME FROM A CAN” at them and see what happens

Hmm, you know, it occurs to me—for all you new gardeners out there, you know not to trust the plant tags, right? ...maybe we should talk about that.

Children love books about boarding schools because they love the idea of living with their friends in a single building where magical things happen. A school is just a plot device to create what many humans (young and old) crave: a walkable, close-knit community.
