The good news? My work laptop is being delivered by Fedex today. The bad news? I’m trapped in the apartment for the next four hours because they need a signature. Here is a cat.

The only king in my house.

If you’re protesting today, stay safe, stay peaceful, and don’t give Cheeto Mussolini a reason to send his goons after you.

If it’s in Pub Lunch, PW Daily, and Shelf Awareness, it must be true, right? 😊

Lucky Charms: Late night snack of grown-ass adults.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

I just finished reading an amazing digital galley from Harper called Who Knows You By Heart by a writer named C.J. Farley. Holy crap, this book is so so good! I’m not going to tell you anything about it other than it will make you think a lot about DEI, AI, and who tells your story…

Trying to raise $750 for our friend Coco this week. You’re right: it never ends. 🇺🇸 Anything you can chip in will be appreciated

NEWS: Gov. Kathy Hochul has endorsed Zohran Mamdani for NYC mayor "We’ve had our disagreements. But in our conversations, I heard a leader who shares my commitment to a New York where children can grow up safe in their neighborhoods and where opportunity is within reach for every family."

“How you die does not redeem how you lived.”

Pumpkin spice has finally gone too far.

You GUYS. This is going to be hilarious.

"Harvard can't use race as a factor in admissions, but ICE can use race as a factor in detentions" is a retrenchment essentially to a pre-Civil War understanding of the Constitution. It's vanishingly few steps removed from "Latinos have no rights which the white man is bound to respect."

"When people are arrested to ostensibly “help” them, this can create — or for many, perpetuate — cycles of incarceration." Read the full #OpEd on how the recent arrest of Lil Nas X, who faces felony charge and up to 5 years in prison, is more proof police have no business treating the mentally ill.

Please take a moment to appreciate this very, very small water sausage!

Neighbor dog Maisy took me for an enthusiastic walk this morning over at the park. By which I mean, she ran full speed and I tried not to fall over my own feet.

Please, the U.S. Open asked us not to share any video of the president being booed heavily by an entire stadium, please respect their wishes, please

Working with seniors, I’ve seen how polio is still ravaging bodies 70 years after they had the initial illness. Even those that ‘recovered’ relatively easily/quickly. In my area, the Mott Foundation used to pay for hospital stays that would last months and sometimes even years.

Job search mascots hard at work.

Shoutout to everyone working #SDCC this weekend who is about to make the same mistake. Stay hydrated, warriors! 😆😆😆😆

We're thrilled to present the shortlist for the 2025 Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction:

Bumping this up again.

This post from HBO on LinkedIn made me snort laugh.

Book industry peeps! Former agent and current editor Amy Tipton and her husband Ed are going through some tough times financially and could use a little help. They're both disabled and have been struggling with bills. If you can help or share this, thank you! www.gofundme.com/f/vx8c7k-hel...

Proof this guy is full of SITH.

Neighbor cat Spätzle says Happy Caturday.

Watching the new series Wear Whatever the F You Want and watching this Amish former stripper mom marching around NYC wearing Dolly Parton-inspired bright pink sparkly glam is giving me life. So much joy. God knows we need it. 💗

If you, like me, got turned on to Spier and Mackay menswear by @dieworkwear.bsky.social, tariffs just got real!!!

Okay, I’m just going to admit it: while I very much admire Chappel Roan for her talent and bravery and “fuck you”attitude, I honestly just don’t like her voice. I’ve tried, y’all. Does that make me a bad lesbian?

This is my neighbor cat Zoe having a drink. She is 15 years old and will not put up with your nonsense today.

Eight days. That how long it took to get my new passport after renewing online. And the best thing about it is that Trump’s signature appears nowhere on it. 🤣🤣🤣

My half-yearly ten hour ordeal of clipping Mugsy’s claws is now complete. WIKTORY!

Mugsy in profile.

OMG Hahahahahahah!

Homeless workers now have to submit *proof of employment* to be allowed to sleep in their cars in one of the richest counties in the U.S. Welcome to America: people shivering overnight in subzero temperatures, steps from luxury ski resorts, for the privilege of keeping the local economy booming.

Started watching The Eternals. What kind of mess is this? Anybody? And what did Barry Keoghan do to deserve this haircut?

Timeline cleanser.

How to break a cat’s heart in one easy step.

Between Yellowjackets and The Last of Us, I’m starting to think Melanie Lynskey is a little too good at portraying sociopaths. 😳

Trapped by a very relaxed elderly cat. Send tacos.

"NY Attorney General Letitia James today co-led a coalition of 20 other attorneys general in suing the Trump administration to stop the dismantling of three federal agencies that provide services and funding supporting public libraries and museums, workers, and minority-owned businesses nationwide"

Okay, I’ve been trying to watch this new Netflix medical show PULSE but it would be so much better without the who ridiculous romance/sexual harassment center plot. If I wanted dysfunctional romance in a medical show, I’d watch Grey’s Anatomy.

Me explaining to the penguins what a tariff is. 🐧
