Discovered that an article I wrote for Slate was cited in @sophiegilbert.bsky.social's book Girl on Girl and DO YOU KNOW HOW EXCITING IT IS TO BE VIEWED AS A CREDIBLE SOURCE?????????????????

seeing my 1 year old nephews next week. What are the cool 1 year olds into these days?

Time for some real talk: @thexylom.com, the only Asian American-run news outlet covering science, climate, and the environment, will run out of funding in July if we don't secure $7,500 by the end of the month. I might lose my job at a time while waiting for a visa extension -- a nightmare scenario.

the other day I had to explain What Not to Wear to an 18 year old who was working at a vintage shop in Park Slope and I'm not sure the children understand what millennials endured and why we hate our bodies so much.

I've started a new personal project where on every run, I listen to album in its entirety. I'm 100% open to suggestions and they can be all over the shop thematically as long as you can argue that they have real artistic merit.

This should terrify every person in this country. The use of machine learning systems to approximate an individuals views on war and then, if they are here lawfully on a visa, tag them for deportation is about as sci-fi dystopian as it gets. www.axios.com/2025/03/06/s...

Oh, just reading about how this college president uses AI in academic leadership and wondering why, exactly, they need such salaries?

ICYMI: beginning this spring, Broad Sound will be publishing weekly arts and culture longreads online. Our rate will be $100 per essay. Write on any arts-and-culture topic you want. Surprise and delight us. More details: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

BREAKING NEWS: Research and basic information on subjects ranging from tuberculosis surveillance to adolescent health disappeared from federal health agency websites.

The Internet Archive has to date downloaded 500 terabytes of US government websites, which it crawls at the end of every presidential term. The whole archive is fully searchable. This effort's housed by a donation-funded nonprofit, not a branch of the US government. blog.archive.org/2024/05/08/e...

What do people think of footnotes as asides in books? Are they fun? Are they annoying?

Not enough people submitted to the Golden Dryer Sheet Awards to make it worth the time and energy to judge it. Putting it on pause until I have the capacity to organize a better marketing campaign and prize.

This season of Somebody Somewhere is beyond gorgeous and there are so many people in the world who I know won't watch it who need to watch it because it will speak to them profoundly. And that's the agony of so much of culture, isn't it?

today someone sent me an email to tell me I suck. Love that for me.

I have a good rebuttal to that nytimes op-ed piece on the manosphere but I'm too tired from earning a living wage to pitch it.

They should have branded Eat Pray Love as a NomPsalmRomCom.

Thinking about hosting a "I've never been to a holiday office party but movies have told me that this is the place to ruin my marriage by flirting with the secretary" party.

Also source of one of the best lines in Fire Island. The WiFi password is Cherry Jones but the es are 3s

I need some book recommendations. Something fun and plot-heavy but also well-written.

Our country's next cabinet is one former athlete away from becoming a casting notice for celebrity fear factor.

I don't want a self-driving car. I want a self-cleaning juicer. Get your shit together tesla.

Remember last December how I asked people to share their low stakes goals for 2024? Well I’m going to be following up with everyone who commented on that thread and try to record check-ins with them to make a fun podcast situation. It’ll be for fun unless anyone has ideas for where to pitch

if you don't love people bursting into song at their worst than you don't deserve me at my best.

I am not saying you have to like musicals. I am only saying I don't trust people who don't like musicals

found this in a 1970 issue of Cosmopolitan. Is it supposed to be a joke? Genuinely can't tell.
