Idk who needs to hear this but "Hi" "Hey" "Hello" etc are widely not considered appropriate opening messages to send to a person you do not know (or do not know well). It's expected that you will introduce what you're about, what you want, and/or ask questions about the other person to actually introduce topics of conversation. Many people do not like trying to work to figure out what a stranger wants from them.

Tip that stands the test of time for the last 20 years: never check in bags when you fly to Boston. Easily wastes 45 minutes of your life in an otherwise world class airport. A perpetual shame.

I saw this and immediately sent a FURIOUS text to my son, currently a student at the Culinary Institute of America, shaming him for never telling me about Burre Monté.

He only laughed and told me they stir it into the pasta before saucing it, at his current externship. In case you ever wondered why food tastes good, I'm here to tell you, it's because butter.

I really appreciated this video from comic artist/watercolourist Jared Cullum! He talks through a sketchbook approach that I've dipped in and out of many times over my education and career, and it has never not helped kick me up a level in terms of observation and markmaking confidence. Maybe this is a sign to try it again myself? Oh no, an excuse to buy a new sketchbook...

The video has a lot of information about the approach itself, and the logic behind it, and the effects of using it, and his experience working his way into it, so you don't need to hear that from me, but let me inspire you to take the eleven minutes to watch the video yourself!

do the same, pointless, painful things 300 times just to be sure, because what if the other 299 times were just flukes and this time you’ll get the result you want

My two best New Year's resolution tips:

Make it manageable. Instead of deciding "I'm going to go to the gym EVERY DAY" or "I'm going to write the GREAT AMERICAN NOVEL," think about what you can actually do - and in fact, try not to make a yearly resolution, but a monthly one. What can you do in January, versus over 12 months? Reason is, if you aim for something definitively achievable, you may actually get in the habit of doing it; versus if you aim for the full year, first time you fail you're more likely to quit. So: go to the gym once a week in January. Or: aim to write 100 words a day, on weekend days, in January. See where you get to, and then do it a month at a time from there. If you like it, you can increase the pace slowly over the course of the following months; or keep things the same, and know that's something you can actually do with your schedule.

Start today. Or, at the very least, get yourself set up properly today. Chances are you'll make your resolution, then be tired and just want to sleep in tomorrow. And then when you haven't done your resolution for January 1, you'll already be like "oh well, out the window." Instead, do whatever prep you need to on December 31 to get yourself set to drag yourself out of bed and do whatever it is you want to do on January 1. If it's go to the gym, make sure you have the membership set already, and your gym clothes out. Are you planning on writing? Have an idea in mind already of what you want to write, or whatever materials you find creatively fulfilling out on your desk and ready to go. Not only does that ease the prep, but those items are already there to give you a little mental nudge to actually start when you say you're going to start.

My third tip? You don't have to make a New Year's resolution. It's nice to have that start of a New Year to give you a kick in the pants, but you're also okay to relax and wait and have any other day give you motivation (or not). There's no need to completely change your life just because a bunch of Popes 500 years ago were annoyed that the time of year they were celebrating Easter kept changing.

I usually make pizza eggs

tear 1 slice of pizza into bite-size pieces (can also use scissors)

put in a pan on the stovetop

crack like 2 eggs in there

cook like you would with scrambled eggs

continue to buy too much pizza solely so you can enjoy pizza eggs for the rest of your life :)

washing machine: into the soup!

dryer: maracas but also fire

(for bonus points and added realism, stop cleaning your lint trap :)
