secret vacation tip: 5pm dinner reservations

The power of a good switch

I got a lash lift and then I ate this and now I'm going to go get a massage for 90 minutes

hey did you know you can roast a can of chickpeas, a diced block of halloumi, and half a jar of capers on a sheet tray at 450° until everything crisps up and then toss it all with half a bag of massaged kale and some lemons zest for a really good salad?

oh yeah the new york city subway is so fucking scary, you never know what kind of weirdo you'll have to share a train with

bar seats for life

inbox zero, OOO set, all my necessary emails scheduled, nothing but fun dinner reservations and museum days until the 2nd

if this isn't nice, I don't know what is

Time to post the Tony Hoagland November poem again

Having one of those days where I'm reminded that the protester behavior I brush off as "not a big deal" actually is, and that keeping these violent, creepy freaks away from patients is important.

first really cold clinic escorting shift ✅ after a week of emotional turmoil ✅ and an olive-themed martini party last night ✅ idk, if I were our clinic's protesters, I wouldn't show up today

"liberal arts aren't important" okay, sure, but then why is the Claude AI logo a Vonnegut asshole?

$1 billion data centre to maybe create 100 jobs. That's likely an overstatement. It is truly not worth draining the living word for this vampiric tech and people are starting to realize it. www.wisn.com/article/meta...

Today I bought some Harry & David pears & an amaryllis at Trader Joe’s for my mom, only to get home and discover that today she had also stopped at Trader Joe’s and bought Harry & David pears & an amaryllis for me.

everybody cross their fingers that the little party i'm throwing tonight goes well

hell yeah

flurries!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

I will not be watching or reading any "analyses" about the Democratic party in D.C. I know all about them & their complicity. I'm not interested and I choose to reclaim my time and attention. There're other kinds of politics to engage & most importantly to do (including in our local communities).

as an big city career woman with a "historic village" for a hometown, my seven year relationship ending <50 days before Christmas is putting me way too close to Hallmark movie protagonist territory.

Whatever AI thing you're listening to, it was copied from a real human who made something with intention and heart. Go find that thing. It sucks that we now have to sift through a river of shit to find those things, but there are still good places to start.

If you don't see how someone made something, it was made with AI, block it. If someone says that "all rights belong to their owners" they can't be bothered to determine that something isn't AI - block them. Get slop and garbage out of all art, forever. Accept no substitutes.

lows in the thirties next week ❄️

women are so special because we all take insanely hot showers

Puffer jacket snoopy season is upon us

friday treat is that the sandwich place i've been walking past for a few months is apparently open now and it's a cute little indian bodega/bakery? wonderful.
