A stunning delight in an otherwise disappointing franchise

Look, it’s one thing to live with the constant feeling that my brain is mad at me. Now you’re telling me two brains could be mad at me?

My mom started reading to me as a baby and didn’t stop until I was well into high school. She started with poetry. My favorite was Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats (with the Edward Gorey illustrations). Just an incredible introduction to language having energy and being a space to play.

Hey, I just met Mitch. And this is crazy, but I had 20 minutes so he said, “Call me maybe?”

I’ve been taking some of my parents’ records to back to NY after visits, and I’m so excited to get Fleetwood Mac this time. “Rhiannon” is such an end-of-summer song for me. Not in a pre-spooky season way but in a heard it on the radio on the 4th of July and knew my last relationship was over way.

Every now and then, I come across a skein of yarn that feels like the dyer wound it by chucking it into a tornado and hoping for the best.

I’ve been seeing a lot of AI slop ads for tanning services and salons this week. The combination of that yellow patina AI slop images tend to have and the “after” color of the tan is really something.

My hot food take is that brunch is *solely for ordering breakfast-coded food later into the day*. It is not a Frankenstein hybrid of breakfast and lunch foods.

As much as I enjoy all the posts about The Pitt being like we’re so lucky to get to crush on Noah Wyle twice in our lives, I would be remiss if I didn’t make the case for Flynn Carsen in The Librarian universe.

Being into cats feels so debasing. You give everything over to this animal — time, labor, money — but when you want them to sit next to you, they refuse and jump away. When they finally sit on your lap, you sit motionless to the point of physical pain, afraid to disturb them. Humiliating.

A slight counterpoint. My college and grad school friendships didn’t make it to other stages of adulthood, and those challenges are also important for emotional growth and resilience (sucky as they are in the moment). Life needs friction, we shouldn’t be outsourcing it.

Reupping this because here we are once again. We’ve gone from wars breaking into weekend afternoon TV to 24-hour war coverage on cable to 24-hour war slop with real consequences on the tiny screens permanently in our hands. Can’t even muster a grim joke about progress here.

My mom has a nemesis. A beligerent red squirrel who likes to empty her bird feeders and scream at the gray squirrels. Since there’s still snow in front of the house, that little asshole has dug himself a hidden tunnel from the front steps to the bird feeders. You do in fact have to hand it to him.

Y’know, this also feels relevant in light of the AI slop. We’ve seen enough consistent videos and still images and read enough reporting to know what we fucking saw. They’ve lied before, they’ll lie again, and they’ll do it with more media options at their disposal. We know what we fucking saw.

My favorite yarn store is celebrating their 20th birthday. They have a cute party every year, and it’s one of my favorite things because it’s so close to my own anniversary of moving to NY and one of the first communities I got into just for myself.

One of my first memories of watching and understanding the news as a kid was Norman Schwarzkopf talking about Desert Storm. I was maybe 4 years old at the time. It’s not the same kind of politically formative experience, but it’s still deeply rooted in the brain and fucked up.

When I look at Mamdani, I don’t see some radical departure. I see him as an heir to the Yiddish socialism that helped build New York

I had this 300-level philosophy course as a gen ed (wild, I know) on aesthetic theory, and it was an excellent hands-on education in media literacy and engagement. Easily the single most important class I ever took, even if I was out of my depth for a lot of it.

I accidentally left my chicken out overnight, so it spent too much time at room temperature to be safe. And then I dropped an entire roasting pan of half-cooked sweet potatoes onto a freshly cleaned stovetop. I’d say this meal can go to hell, but it’s clearly been there the whole time.

I regret to inform myself and everyone else that I have read the Vogue boyfriend article. I think it completely misses the point! There’s so much to be said about the state of romantic pairings, but this really positions social media as the subjects’ primary relationship 😬

Maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s election anxiety, or maybe it’s overwhelm from the state of the nation, or maybe it’s the nature of Q4, or maybe it’s feeling super lonely, or maybe it’s the dread of holiday planning, or maybe it’s Maybelline after all 🤷🏻‍♀️

I had no idea Camera Obscura had a new album last year. I wasn’t sure they’d keep recording after Carey died and would have understood if they didn’t. But my goodness, “Look to the East, Look to the West” is actually perfect.
