Lean into it!

So this thing about snow this weekend. I’m not into that.

When Broadway flops get a second life as student musicals Each year, many more Americans see live theater in local schools than on Broadway. So when a show has a short run in New York? It's not over.

I have a very bad feeling about this...

I think that’s how they phrase it on their license plates!

Elizabeth Jacobs, PhD @elizabethjacobs.bsky.social I'm an epidemiologist. Sewage systems are sexy. Dosco Jones @doscojones.bsky.social I'm an engineer. Sewage systems are sexy.

I’m a sewage system. I also have a great personality.

I really can’t with this season of PR.

I get it - this is PR on a budget. But watching the contestants hit breakdown stage before they’ve had a chance to really design anything isn’t fun to watch.

So… it’s not me talking about the future of email marketing?

Mid-century Hollywood is my favorite ethos!

See, this is what happens when I order too early!

When public media disappears, so do the stories that bring us together.

With federal funding eliminated, millions may lose their last trusted source of news and connection.

Being in an open marriage sounds exhausting.

OMG!

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.

I loudly engage them in conversation. Confuses them every time.

This song has a permanent space in my brain.

That escalated quickly.

Congress eliminated public media funding. At a time of deep division, public media brings us together.

This isn’t the female gaze. This is the male gaze. It’s men who are obsessed with the physicality of other men. Women, in the main, would much rather see a man who looks like he’d make himself a stack of buttered toast and let you steal a slice

At the start of the pandemic, I got into a discussion with a neighbor (NB he has avoided me since) and my main argument was that erasing healthcare for people with fewer resources only makes it more expensive for the rest of us.

If you draw a cat, will it look like a cat?

Here are my top 10 cartoon dogs!

I remember going to a wax museum at Harper’s Ferry and they had rigged an air bag in John Brown’s chest so you could watch him take his last breath.

Realll toss up. Anyone’s guess

There is nothing worse than someone trying to tell you your life.

It Has Pockets! How Claire McCardell changed women’s fashion

You may not know Claire McCardell's name, but if you're an American woman or know one, you know her work. She was an inventive & influential midcentury fashion designer who freed women from all kinds of strictures, social and literal. Reviewed a terrific new bio: www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

This is also great when checking expiration dates. I was putting dressing on my salad yesterday that was dated May 2024. So I ate it and then thought, “Wait a minute…”

So exciting! But, definitely look both ways before crossing the street.
