Got super stressed today and this is helping; highly recommend

Flavored cream cheese is standard in NYC! Strawberry cream cheese on a plain bagel (as pictured) is a standard order for me 😂. Other common flavors of cream cheese include veggie, scallion, and lox.

The news is suffocating to keep up with lately

Attended 2 info sessions this week about policy implications with the incoming admin and it’s just so grim and sad

or how people can be so comfortable they forget how things can be so much worse than they are right now. There are so many tangible ways things are going to be worse in the near future. Trying to remind myself that there have been darker days and that what we do still matters.

Idk today is just a lot and I feel a little like Cassandra. I don’t think I will ever understand people who are comfortable assuming “they’re talking about those people not us”

I have the great privilege of working with people who actively help people who live in the margins. I’ve witnessed their work transform lives, and I’ve also seen how policy and law directly impact what we can do and how much they impact resources available.

Having to work today is so surreal

Edwin Diaz has pitched in all 4 Mets games my nephew has gone to this season (including tonight) lol

Becoming a matcha snob is a Pain… but the matcha is both not good (iron/fishy aftertaste) and there is too much milk

Sitting in a coffee shop drinking a mediocre matcha latte… but at least it’s slightly better than Starbucks’s?

LOL yes… this was 3 flights ago

Opinion | Know what makes ‘post-covid’ life complicated? Cancer. My husband has bone-marrow cancer. For us, the pandemic is only as over as it is safe to reenter the world: not particularly.

I have a piece in the Washington Post today about those for whom the “post-Covid world” is not so “post.” Thanks in advance to anyone who’s reading 🎉🌱 www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

As predicted Shohei avoided a traditional TJ, though it’s only vaguely referenced in the official statement. Wishing him the best in his recovery!!

How is it that time goes by so quickly?

4 assorted slices of L’industrie pizza on a tray. Fig jam and bacon, hot honey and ham, burrata, and margherita

Cup of blueberry sorbetto swirl sprinkled with olive oil and salt

Finally tried L’Industrie~~ good as expected but the sorbet was S tier

Went hiking upstate over the weekend and got to meet these charming birds 🥺 (learned most birds end up at this rescue after they are hit by cars)

Text from book Grit, describing people who “habitually throw themselves … into a new project”

Reading Grit by Dr Angela Duckworth (it’s great) and I am UNDER ATTACK

My 5yo nephew wants to be a train engineer when he grows up, but he’s quite specific that it’s not the kind that /build/ trains, it’s the kind that rides them 😂

Ohtani scratched from tonight’s game due to right oblique tightness…

No trip to Chinatown complete without a baked good of some kind! The egg tarts from Tai Pan remain great.

I need a place where I can just post into the void sometimes and this site is not it lol

Finally tried Anita Gelato~ it was great

They’re terrifying 😣 especially since you never know how bad it is at first

More tacos (campechano, birria de res, and al pastor) from a random neighborhood spot today, the al pastor was fantastic

The MLB app has a live 3D model feature and I turned it on earlier to see this… thought it was broken at first 😬, poor Chase Silseth

Ushering my friends into the world of bsky one at a time
