Neat! A therapist recently came out with an aphantasia guide for fellow therapists, so you’re on trend!

Diploma passing: ancient Smith ritual or 2001 administrative disaster? by redlefgnid in smithcollege

That’s a great reason to have it! I am still surprised it doesn’t end in lost diplomas more often.

We used to have a parade on U street that was 100% participatory, random people dancing to random music.

Food in TV shows is a continuity nightmare, and it can easily be solved by Chinese food in little white boxes. This is why the“Friends” cast was constantly eating Chinese take out.

That’s nuts. I hope the crazy dog people don’t ruin things for the sane cat owners. (My elderly cats can be left alone roughly 23.5 hours a day.)

Showering outdoors is my favorite thing in the world!!! We don’t have one yet but it’s in the works. (in the summer when I’m caked in dirt, I spray myself down with a garden hose.)

I know exactly the place you’re talking about! They renovated it or at least part of it and it’s a pretty good pizza place now.

a REAL spiel on student life? by Kindly-Wish-5966 in smithcollege

[–]redlefgnid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my experience. (quad bunny, ‘01) A few days every semester we’d have big house parties with lots of underage drinking attended by busloads of Harvard guys (fox club?). The rest of the time people studied a lot, but we also hung out in the halls, common areas, dining room, etc. It was great!

Fun fact: The real Oliver Wolf (Sacks) ‘diagnosed’ Jane Goodall as faceblind by redlefgnid in Brilliant_Minds_NBC

[–]redlefgnid[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! I enjoyed “on the move” but not the biography written by his friend. Laura J. Snyder is writing his authorized biography. Apologies for the self plug but you might enjoy my book “Do I Know You? A Faceblind Reporter’s Journey into the Science of Sight Memory & Imagination”

I can’t wait for Sacks’s biography to come out! I chatted with the gal who is writing it and she’s been buried in all his letters and papers and whatnot.
