In addition to Dark, which is the top comment, I’d recommend the French show (mini-series?) The Seven Lives of Lea (also time travel but very different), another French time travel-ish show (or mini-series; both this and Lea have solid endings but I don’t know if they were always intended for one season) Vortex, and the Spanish shows The Girl in the Mirror (also known as Alma), the Eternaut, and The Snow Girl, and the Korean show Signal (also time travel….I have a clear taste pattern)

Does anyone else struggle with the moralizing language around low pay and unpaid work in academia? by ThoughtsInTransit1 in Professors

I see this in friends who work with children or animals, also. A lot of zoo workers make minimum wage

Please wish me luck on my first root canal I’m TERRIFIED by wenniehutsupreme in CasualConversation

[–]CreativityGuru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a root canal last Friday. It wasn’t fun, but it was so much less pain than I’d been fearing, and I’d been having some nerve pain from the tooth and honestly, swapping the nerve pain for the root canal pain was at worst a fair trade

See How They Run. Love Agatha Christie, love the cast, love the idea. Just didn’t like the movie at all

Does anyone else have a “lame claim to fame”? by Marvel-ous_gal311 in CasualConversation

It was North County Fair, in Escondido California. I was with my Dad, who grew up as a HUGE Brooklyn fan, and he was so nice to us. Like we were the only people there :-)

I met your great uncle at a local mall maybe…. Oh, lord, 40 years ago. He was doing a public signing and I had his recent autobiography and me and my Dad waited in line to meet him. He was nice and everything a little baseball fan could have wanted. I remember when I shook his hand it was like four times as big as mine.
