I’ve been listening to these albums that attempt to turn the descent into dementia into music. It’s very hard to listen to but there’s something incredibly beautiful about the melodies as they fracture and disintegrate.

It feels like the right soundtrack for these times.

The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

@peter23.bsky.social aren’t you sad you’re not coming to Boston this weekend? 😂

Meanwhile in Massachusetts…

It was such a thrill to interview her! And read this book - it’s outstanding 😈

Tough back to back Super Bowls for guys named Drake

classic tweet @futurevictim_ the only lasting 9/11 memory i have is when the budweiser ad with the kneeling clydesdales came on during the super bowl and i said "those horses are praying to mecca" and my friend's uncle got so mad that he had to go in the backyard

I’m choked up. I didn’t think I would be but after the year we’ve had in the US it feels so good to have Latino culture so celebrated and so front and center.

OK "god bless america" and then naming every country in the americas from south to north is absolute king shit

Thanks you too

Ugh I spent all morning in the files and I actually think it made me physically sick. I feel like I’m coming down with something now.

Same boat, girl. Same. Boat.

Yeah I hold the hand rail every time. I HATE stairs. When my son was 18mo he fell down a full flight of stairs. He was fine - just a bump on the head. But yeah. There’s nothing more dangerous. Yesterday I was carrying laundry in socks so it was on me.

As a knitter this makes me really happy. I’m always looking for stories about people using crafts for resistance.

Thanks Harvard Bookstore and Paul Tremblay for a fabulous event!

A really fun thing about being in my 40s is I’ve fallen all the way down the stairs twice in the last 3 months 🫠
