I went to wake someone and they asked me to give them 15 more minutes to finish a dream they were having. Do dreams work that way for you? They never have for me.

Context: Cuomo was the governor of the state and in charge of the Division of Housing and Community Renewal. He should know the difference between rent control and rent stabilization. He was governor when income-based deregulation was repealed by the legislature under a bill HE signed into law.

So glad this is getting coverage. Altadena is not Malibu or Palisades. Black and Latino families have lived there for generations. Now they’re concerned that gov resources will be channeled to wealthier LA areas where many celebs reside. www.reuters.com/world/us/far...

As I was waiting for an elevator down to a subway station, a group of teens walked by shouting that they wanted my wheelchair, and calling me Timmy (like South Park). My feelings remained a jumble of annoyed, overheated, almost amused, and mostly… tired. I can only hope they grow out of it. 🤷🏻

Did you know? For the audiobook version of this new anthology, I got to record two excellent essays, as part of a full cast of narrators. (If you listen, can you figure out which essays I narrated?)

A possibly overlooked FYI for iPhone/iOS users: In the most recent update (iOS 17), when you add someone to your contacts, there are finally fields to add someone's pronouns, as applicable. (On computers, this is also the case in the latest release of the macOS, Sonoma AKA 14.)

ACCESS NOTE: I think this is an important perspective to share. However, most of the content has been illustrated in the style of a comic, and does not appear to have alt-text or image descriptions available, making it inaccessible to many folks.
