Guess I need to hunt down all of Emily Tesh’s books because I am desperately sad I finished reading this book and its the sequel today 😭
Book cover has a face in profile made entirely of leaves and branches.

Friday was a very good movie day.
Image is of a scene from the movie The Christophers. On the left is a Black woman (Michaela Coel) dressed in a yellow jacket with a brown vest over it. She is looking at a man (Ian Mckellen) standing in a doorway dressed a striped sweater under a denim chore coat and navy pants.

The alt text because his folks couldn’t be bothered:
Leader Schumer Statement On U.S Military Operations In Iran

New York, N.Y. - Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) released the following statement following President Trump's strikes on Iran.

"When I talked to Secretary Rubio, I implored him to be straight with Congress and the American people about the objectives of these strikes and what comes next. Iran must never be allowed to attain a nuclear weapon but the American people do not want another endless and costly war in the Middle East when there are so many problems at home.

"The administration has not provided Congress and the American people with critical details about the scope and immediacy of the threat. Confronting Iran's malign regional activities, nuclear ambitions, and harsh oppression of the Iranian people demands American strength, resolve, regional coordination, and strategic clarity. Unfortunately, President Trump's fitful cycles of lashing out and risking wider conflict are not a viable strategy.

"The administration must brief Congress, including an immediate all senators classified briefing and in public testimony, to answer these vital questions. The Senate should quickly return to session and reassert its constitutional duty by passing our resolution to enforce the War Powers Act.

"My prayers are with our brave American servicemembers."

Not much reaction from the crowd at the Sliwa party after the race is called. A few people are staring at the screen in disbelief.

In an interview, former Gov. George Pataki preemptively dismissed any criticism that Sliwa was a spoiler candidate who had hurt Cuomo’s chances. “There’s always an excuse,” he said. “But ultimately, my experience is: Look in the mirror.”

I wish someone had made the movie of this book by @lollydeskpotato.bsky.social. I vaguely remember Julia Roberts being attached to it somehow—the star or the producer? Anyway y’all should read Lolly Winston.
Cover of the book Good Grief by Lolly Winston. Image is a pair of legs in blue pants with the feet in pink bunny slippers. It’s a great book. Everyone should read Lolly Winston.

from The Ten Year Affair by Erin Somers.
“Don’t you have feelings?” 

She did have feelings. 

The feelings were she wanted to get fucked onto the astral plane and not think about her life for a second. 

But this clearly wasn’t the right thing to say, so she reached into the feelings bag and yanked out “I’m crazy about you.” Sure, why not? It was bland, liking-adjacent. It was not necessarily a declaration of love. He seemed to accept it.

I still say it’s an empty gesture. www.axios.com/2025/07/03/b...
Image of text from Axios article:

Zoom out: For those upper-middle class folks who pay taxes on retirement benefits, this is a "substantial tax break," says Marc Goldwein, senior policy director for the Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, a nonpartisan group that advocates for fiscal responsibility.

• For the several million senior citizens who live in poverty, and already don't pay taxes on Social Security, this doesn't help.

• The bill would also accelerate Social Security and Medicare insolvency by a year, to 2032, per an analysis from the group.

“The bill ensures that nearly 90% of Social Security beneficiaries will no longer pay federal income taxes on their benefits, providing meaningful and immediate to seniors who have spent a lifetime contributing to our nation’s economy.”
