I’m trying to find more screen-free hobbies. Picked up a learn to embroider kit on a whim and finding it v lovely and contemplative and I’m sure you get faster with practice but I’m not clear how I’m going to complete this before 2030???

Between the exhibits on tarot, Peter Hujar’s contact sheets, and John Asbery’s personal collection of drawings (all of which are ending next month!), had a phenomenally gay time at the Morgan Library yesterday.

Reminded by the cameo it gets in Coyote Vs. Acme that the New Mexico Rail Runner Express has *easily* the best branding of any commuter rail in the country.

I historically have the opposite of a green thumb but I finally got some plants for my apartment and felt surprisingly emotional watering them for the first time? I hope they wind up being happy here.

Today I did a ride on a bikeway and through a busy park for the first time and while it was a little intimidating and I wish I had reapplied sunblock it was mostly an absolute joy!!! Life’s been a bit up and down lately and learning something new that’s a bit hard and scary is such a tonic. 🚲

It's striking how much more bearable walking in this extreme heat is if you're under shade. We really need to start treating street tree planting like an emergency response to a public health crisis—because it is one.

Did you know you can use your free will on a Friday night to go with a friend to the Met and see the Mesopotamian statue the internet mistakenly thinks is a depiction of history’s most infamous copper merchant?
An alabaster statue of a Sumerian worshipper, NOT Ea-nasir the copper merchant from the oldest known written complaint/internet meme fame.
