I honestly need an @ebonyaster-level hair report on Trixie’s wigs for every damn episode of Call the Midwives.

If you want the worlds’ best mom-tvmom-daughter moment, please listen to 9:30 thru 11:10 on this episode of The Pod Directive. @TrondyNewman she was just saying the obvious. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sta…

Friends who have written books (for tech primarily, but just any book is fair game too!). How did you like (/survive) the experience? Do you have thoughts? Blogposts? Twitter threads? Books about writing a book? Share it! A friend is perhaps-potentially looking into this. 👀
