Something about Demi Moore’s performance in “I Love Boosters” has been nagging at me, and I finally figured it out: It’s like she’s playing Tina Fey playing Cinda Canning in “Only Murders in the Building.”

I don’t often work until midnight, but when I do I have no idea how to decompress, wind down, and fall asleep 😩

This is the point in the NBA season where I begin to actively root against teams I actually like just bc they MIGHT stand in the way of “my” team’s playoff prospects. Not proud of it. Or the fact that I’m still awake right now.

In the interim there was some food prep and late-night work and TikTok and anxiety

Having one of those nights where I legitimately felt I could go to sleep at 5:30 p.m. AND YET it is almost 2 a.m. and I decided to reach for my phone one last time to check the NBA standings after Monday’s games 🙄

I love this! We are hosting a New Year's Day gathering, the first of many in 2026, I hope. The pandemic + a falling-apart bathroom (renovated in early autumn of this year) both got us out of the habit.

"Trump, who issued an executive order dictating new federal buildings be designed in classical and traditional styles." Not surprised but I somehow completely missed this order signed on Aug. 28: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

I always experience a bit of cognitive dissonance when I run across the work of this particular commentator because he has such a common Mennonite surname.

Recently a family member sarcastically referred to me as a "Zen master," which is hilarious if you have any sense of how anxious I am ... BUT I did let the driver of a car in front of me space out at a green light today for five seconds without honking Thus concludes my dharma talk 💁‍♀️

Same — and it seems like that experience is universal. Even the AbEx authority who curated the exhibition had not heard of 2-3 of the artists before embarking on the book project that led to the show.

Our editorial assistant and I worked for a couple hours yesterday sitting opposite the giant Helen Frankenthaler in the back gallery :) It’s a lovely and rather overwhelming show — I’m trying to spend time with it as much as possible.

Editors: How do you explain the editor-writer relationship to folks new to the process? I'm exploring how to circumvent at least some of the defensiveness of writers who have never been edited before

From my First Friday wanderings in Wichita last week: at Envision Arts Gallery, works by artists who are blind or visually impaired from the Los Angeles and Anaheim Braille Institutes. Angelica Fuentes, "Crazy Love;" Savannah Gayle, "Abstract is Hard;" Lynette Basford, "Circling Around."

Blue etterforms, gold crowns, and green hearts are superimposed on a pink and black background in Angelica Fuentes' "Crazy Love."

White squiggles crowd a bright pink color field, dotted with dustings of gold and blue in Savannah Gayle's "Abstract is Hard."

Lynette Basford's yarn sculpture Circling Around is composed of five circles made with stiffened off-white yarn that form an ethereal-looking cluster.

I was impressed by the ambition of this exhibition, which reminded me of a show of/inspired by paño art that I saw at the Museum of Mexican Art this spring — and also of the work of Justin Favela, whose cartonería will soon be on view at Wichita State’s Ulrich Museum

@kmuw.bsky.social (Wichita) met their goal of making up for the shortfall today ✅🥳 They have become a critical part of the media landscape here, so this is a huge relief.

I've been a PBS member ever since *that* mid-season cliffhanger in Sanditon s3. 🤓 Even if you look at it as just paying for a streaming service, it's one of the best deals out there.

I chatted with a staff member at Music Theatre Wichita last week who said it’s impossible to feel sad while watching tap dancing — turns out the same thing is true of listening to chamamé
