And here we are at the end of #TheSealeyChallenge / the #sealeychallenge. I had a lot of fun doing the challenge for the first time! I see the benefits of reading full books, but I did *really* enjoy seeking out poems that fit the bingo categories and meeting new poets and poems that way!

A photo of a sheet of paper with the 2026 #SealeyChallenge at the top and 24 prompts with one free space. Each of the boxes with a prompt has a handwritten title and author of one poem; the boxes are all crossed out with pink or yellow highlighter.

Week 2 of The Sealey Challenge complete! This week I chose Bingo (which ended up being a ton of fun!) and filled in about half of the squares: #SealeyChallenge #TheSealeyChallenge

A Bingo Sheet for the 2026 Sealey Challenge. There are 25 squares naming specific challenges such as "Poem dedicated to someone" and "Poem ending in joy." About half of the bingo sheet is filled out with handwritten names of poems and authors.

Thank you, downtown LA, even if you were 93 degrees

A printed menu fills the screen, which is partially covered by a second, smaller menu laid on top; the top menu states the restaurant is Bottega Louis, and the top menu lists a selection of brunch cocktails

Shows a crowd of people outside of the Walt Disney Concert Hall, which is a building made up of swooping, metal shapes with curves and odd angles, against the backdrop of a bright blue sky

Our city was packed with watch parties/block parties for the last two weeks! It's been amazing. Cheers to community 🇪🇸 🇦🇷

A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! I wouldn't have missed it for the world (and didn't). An enthusiastic full house, too.

Shocking that Chicago 10 (2007) wasn't picked by ANYONE yet?! It is VASTLY (V A S T L Y) superior to the 2020 film that some people chose (wrongly). Anyway here's my sincere opinion and NOT a meme:

My top 10 movies of the last 25 years for the NYTimes Poll: BlacKKKlansman, Chicago 10, Cold War, Dunkirk, Nomadland, Saint Omer, Sound of Metal, The Green Knight, Tree of Life, Zone of Interest

I dunno, everything is so glum and frightening. But Kanopy has *Jazz on a Summer's Day* available and if you need some pure joy (and to use your public library while they still exist) there it is
