I am begging Mt Sinai not to use MyChart to announce basic holiday office hours. I didn’t log in just to read a message that could have been an email.

I think I've developed a crush on Sean Baker in 3 acceptance speeches?

I am such a sucker for a montage.

I love this for them but I also think it was very formative for me to be scared straight into good dental practices in my 20s by a Russian dental hygienist who clearly went to the KGB school of dentistry. Thank you Ludmilla for my good flossing habits.

Gentle men are MY heroes 😍

My therapist suggested that I might be a perfectionist and I don't know if I agree because I feel like if I was a perfectionist I'd be a LOT better at all the things I try to do.

Back to term ones rules: if you’re going to say “I can’t believe Trump/they did that!” I’m going to need you to be a little bit more specific.

I had a …significantly…more embarrassing number once. I spaced them out- I think about 3 at a time.

Things used to be SIGNIFICANTLY better

One of my favorite New York things is when you see someone (a stranger) distinctive enough to remember and then hours later you see them somewhere else and you’re like- hey I know you!

How is it that you can find almost any food in New York except the one thing I want the most right now.

Only good things!

Oh I find it so flattering!

Thinking A Complete Unknown was a ploy by the cigarette industry to get kids to give up vapes and go back to smoking. Hell, maybe I’ll take up smoking.

Or worse, going to your usual grocery store to find that they've moved things around!

Something to be said for being relaxed and well rested- I got personal best times on the NYT Crossword two days in a row!

I'm sure Grover Cleveland is rolling over in his grave having lost the distinction of being the only non-consecutive President. He's left with having had the youngest First Lady due to marrying a 21 year old (who he had helped raise and first met as a baby), while President at age 49.

Underrated part of my annual Halloween experience is answering the door for the food delivery person while half made-up.

When I was a kid I thought my dad was quirky for his post-work walks and for listening to talk radio to fall asleep...still not totally seeing the correlation to the walks *I* take after work or that I can't fall asleep without listening to a boring podcast.

I have been having to ask for shelf reaching a lot lately and it’s absurdly embarrassing.

It's wild how long it took humans to invent comfortable furniture (Western European humans specifically, I'm not as sure about the others).

My mom is a republican (who won’t vote for Trump at least) with a Planned Parenthood bumper sticker on her car. The mind reels.

Oh no!!

For what it's worth for current passport processing times, I mailed mine in for renewal on June 26 and got it back today, July 12. Just regular processing, not expedited.

Hybrid work schedule = going to the office during a heatwave because the AC is better.

I have to renew both my passport and my driver’s license this year which feels like a crime.

I’m gonna need NYT Connections to start keeping statistics.

I thought the point of kids menus was to be loss leaders to get the parents in the door to buy the real food?

Absolutely bikini! I've worn them to swimsuit spas before.

The one time I got stopped at a subway checkpoint to be searched by the NYPD, I had just been shopping and my bag was full of underwear. I think we were both embarrassed.
