Oh I have awesome friends. That was a great dinner.

oh dang sorry I just eye-rolled so hard I sprained something

Thanks to the tip from @fernmonkey.bsky.social I have gotten my Covid shot.

There was an earthquake in Groningen?

Those of you flipping out on people for liking the wrong post should realise some of us are scrolling in bed without reading glasses or eye-hand coordination at stupid o’clock.

When people say that Wuthering Heights doesn't have anything to do with race or that no film has engaged with race, what they mean is that for them Romani people do not count and they also haven't been paying attention. I'm going to share a little material from a recent talk. Content note: racism 1/

I harvested some persimmons. I’m going to peel them and dry them to make hoshigaki. They develop an incredibly rich sweetness.

No change in color but gets really wavy in humidity now. I have lost volume tho.

What they're doing is great (but what the headline is doing is weird; adults are not primarily identified by their reproductive status when they're not doing something specific to offspring, or are they, since trivializing women happens a thousand ways?)

Frens. At least when it gets cold.

Ok but hear me out: His emails.

Some someone last year made a dumb joke will suddenly finds themselves suspended today. Swell, guys.

Internet, please stop. Do your research.

Instructive insights in this piece on Turkey's slide into fascism.

Arrived in Chester.

Freaking EasyJet

I am flying to Manchester later today in trip where I will see nothing except a rental car, a hotel and an office.

Bluesky suspended Sarah Kendzior today for no reason whatsoever. She just shared excerpts of her articles, which were as always incisive and not offensive at all. Hey @pfrazee.com this is super not OK. I know her- we've interacted a fair bit via chats and her work is essential.

While I’m being crabby— people who romanticise working tills have never worked in retail.

Why do so many Dutch businesses call instead of whatsapping or texting? Super annoying.

My cardigan wearing neighbor in his late 70s puts on black leather trousers and motorcycle boots to go out at night.

Look at this great fund. £200 for really small charities to spend on boring things. Easy, quick to apply. Link below. Please share :)

Incredibly bittersweet to be published in Teen Vogue this weekend after devastating layoffs, including my editor for this piece. It’s about how beauty influencers have fallen into and become part of the alt-right pipeline targeting girls and women www.teenvogue.com/story/womano...

I think I caught the green flash - no filter. Goodnight from Kailua Kona.

My poor younger dog ate something he should not so I have gotten my exercise tonight taking him up and down the stairs and doomscrolling in between.

I have so many more Atwater Market food pictures but I’m tired so I’ll post more tomorrow. Look at all these cranberries!

Chestnut coloured velvet with cushion like sleeves designed by the fashion house of Worth for your autumnal wardrobe. Mid #1890s, so expansive in proportions and embellishment, all tied up with a big silk bow @metmuseum.org #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

🍶😵‍💫THE TEMPLE OF ABSTINENCE🙏✨ Jizō-in (地蔵院) hasn't survived the ravages of time well, but it has some extraordinary tales to tell. Many know the tiny temple as 'Tsubaki-dera' (椿寺) after a camellia shrub that was smuggled from a Korean castle and later gifted by a warlord. #Jizoin #地蔵院 #Kyoto #京都

Cinderella’s sisters.

This is not a deal — it's an empty promise. Trump and his Republican Congress are making healthcare more expensive for the middle class and ending it for working families. Time for Democrats to stand tall for affordable healthcare. www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Clingendael autumn foliage with @minhishi.bsky.social

Went for a walk today with @minhishi.bsky.social and found this creepy bloody doll with a card. Pretty sure it is a Halloween leftover.

Still a bit of hanging and unpacking to do, but it is starting to look like a dining room/work space.

This morning I was reading through the old MetaFilter Kaycee threads and it made me sad. 2001 the Internet held so much promise of connection. I met friends, lovers— heck— even celebrities online. Things felt authentic and homemade.

I baked bread. 🍞🍽️🍜

It was briefly pretty today before the murk resumed.

Nap time.

Saturday = laundry day. The exciting and wild life of an international woman of mystery.

One of the things I resent most about aging is that when I reached the point of being able to afford good wine, I can no longer drink it with my meal without paying for it the next day.

Who else remembers this case? This marked the moment I first started lurking on Metafilter.

Democrats have flipped 2 seats in the Mississippi senate, and in so doing they've broken the GOP's supermajority in the chamber.

I hope Cuomo is crying. I hope we get to see him crying.

Wow it turns out the entire country is not permanently reactionary because Trump won an election by 1.5%

Didn’t even have time to make popcorn damn

I think ICE agents get a bad rap. They cry at movies like Schindler’s List too. They just cry at different parts.
