speaking as a yank, they’re absolutely awful. so dangerous, so enormous, apparently hard to drive, and almost always devoid of appropriately gigantic cargo. the bonnets are higher than my car’s roof rack

that’s lovely, thank you there’s a “stack of children’s blocks” building on my kid’s campus, too; i wonder if they’re related. ours is the rubenstein forum by diller scofidio + renfro

a steaming pile indeed. i guess when money talks, it says to spurn the one organization you could always count on attending the games? john paynter is spinning in his grave like a dynamo

he entered office as my kid became a toddler and any time i was trying to summon greater authority in my parenting i’d say “ look,,,” and hold my hands out. “let me be clear: that behavior is not what i expected from a person of your stature.” it’s such a bland tone for official admonitions

this is so thoughtful! i’m going to hang onto this for my kid who’s hoping to start field work within a year and will definitely encounter friction from a program that’s not set up to accommodate them

it absolutely does not work on kid and me, but possibly bc we already take most of those meds already so the benefit is incremental but not notable (we nevertheless still try multilayered antihistamines etc each time)

i don’t know what kind of omen this is but when the universe plays instrumental arrangements of “where or when” twice in 24 hours (college convocation and hospital lobby) it sure af feels ominous

my response to the world as it is makes doctors want to send me to therapy where i’m ultimately told that i’m responding appropriately to circumstances. vicious circle stuff

THAT philosophy professor is apparently going to lead a post-viewing discussion of In the Mood for Love during orientation week and when my kid asked if that sounded like a good idea i went on such a face journey that i was then forced to share THAT new yorker essay
