The conversations around AI at work make me feel crazy.

It felt very fitting to finish this print job yesterday on the solstice. I am currently looking to book letterpress jobs, if you have a project that is well-suited to my process and style and don’t have a tight deadline.

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

My tummy hurts and I’m sad

Become ungovernable

Had coworkers over for Hanukkah happy hour because we deserve connection and light.

Hoping to see a lot of friends at the @jca-mn.bsky.social 30th birthday celebration tonight!

ProPublica spoke to about 150 people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.” We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words. ➡️ This is what they wrote: https://propub.li/3MTlm33

Can't say I ever expected to see a "That Font was No Angel" headline. But here we are.

Divorce is great until the tub won’t drain and I have to deal with Unidentifiable Pipe Goo

Helicopter circling Kenwood/ Bryn Mawr is not helping my anxiety tonight

For Bartleby day, I had students copy 19th century legal documents by hand until they appropriately protested. They made it 7 minutes. So much longer than I expected!

Yes but we don't want everyone to know, okay? You're cool and definitely welcome but like, we'd rather be less in the national news and stuff. Like we'd rather just exist.

How amazing is this portrait my 11yo drew of @bwolo.bsky.social?

“Pope pointed to the bizarrely packed schedules for middle and high schoolers. “You’ve got seven different homework assignments that you’ve got to remember each night. Think of the cognitive load of a sixth-grade boy,” she said. “I challenge many adults to do this.” YES 👏🏼

My goal for the week is to not feel like I’m failing at something no matter what I do.

Lol @economist.com

I thought Somali community in MN came here as resettled refugees, not TPS?

It’s not that “vaccines don’t cause autism” is besides the point, but from the POV of a parent to a child with autism and co-occurring autoimmune disease, I know that our bodies are waaaay more complex than our current language around “cause” can possibly address.

I told my girls (7 and 11) that I would make a #GTMD donation for them to an organization that did work that mattered to them. I didn't make suggestions. The youngest chose Como Zoo and the oldest Bridget for Youth. 🥹

Has anyone done actual in-depth reporting on the broken car windows thing? I’m tired of reading Nextdoor posts blaming bad parenting and weak prosecutors. Why are there cars with broken windows in my neighborhood almost every morning? Is there anything to do about it?

My coparent informed me that the 7yo now knows the word fuck because she read it in a picture of herself that popped up in photo memories on her iPad. The photo:

It’s a pun. Get it?

My revenge bedtime procrastination is only getting worse. Sometimes I listen to this song on repeat just to force myself to shut up and go to bed. youtu.be/fCEHaB5yOW4?...

It’s so dark out wtf

Every time this hits the news, I get reminded that people think children are merely vessels to input things into, not complex humans in their own right. Are YOU operating in work / life the same way you did before the pandemic, JANET? Why do we hold children to standards we can’t meet ourselves ffs

The mayor is in the hallway of my daughter’s dance class 🫥

If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a thousand times - IF YOU’RE GOING TO CREATE A MOCK HEADLINE FOR THE ROSS DOUTHAT ARTICLE YOU MUST USE CHELTENHAM FOR THE FONT. I don’t make the rules.

Ugh

Me literally every other moment of the year: OMG Steve Simon is the best ever Me at 9:15 every election night: OMG What is wrong with you Steve Simon

Everything OK here except me.

Back to the Future is the perfect movie i will not be taking questions

You know it's close to a local election day when Nextdoor notifications send me into an existential hate-spiral

43 years ago today, readers the world over opened their newspapers and gazed upon cow tools for the first time. happy birthday cow tools. you look great.

I think we should be shouting this from the rooftops.

No notes on this perfect post office / town name.

This Stiller & Meara doc by @benstiller.redhour.com is so so good.

The best scene in the new Springsteen movie is when he finally defeats the chicken man. Amazing pyrotechnics.

I know this is a meme and everything but it’s also, just, a really good scream. I wish I could have such a cathartic scream.

This is bananas. On so many levels.

I had to be at a work event at 6am today and I forgot to take my meds. Now I'm a grumpy tired ball of feelings.
