The absolute GALL of quoting Byron and P. Shelley in an adaptation of Frankenstein. HONESTLY.

Incredibly excited for this!

AI is a choice.

AI is a CHOICE.

See it would make sense if it were lunch and he thought he might have to eat gefilte. But dinner??

I want the Dems to win in Maine. I am also beyond exhausted by the party pantomiming outrage at RW antisemitism while mocking us for concern over a literal permanent nazi skin stamp.

NYCC! I’m moderating “Telling Jewish Stories in YA Fiction” with @andreamax.bsky.social (The Art of Exile), @sachalamb.bsky.social (When the Angles Left the Old Country), AR Vishny (Night Owls), and @levacrosen.bsky.social (Lavender House, Tennessee Russo series, etc.)!

Thursday! 2pm! Room 406.3!

My favorite kind of email is when Venmo and Zelle are like, “You just sent someone money!”

THANKS. I FORGOT.

when you’re pretty sure the rapture didn’t happen, but you just spent two days in shul surrounded by Jews so it’s not like you‘d be able to tell.

the thing about the Mets is that you do love them. you love them so much.

THEORETICALLY.

Florida surgeon general says state will eliminate all vaccine mandates "Every last one of them is wrong and drips with disdain and slavery," Dr. Joseph Ladapo said. "Who am I to tell you what your child should put in [their] body?"

Can’t wait to go to Disneyworld and ride the Jungle Fever Cruise, Don’t Test Track, Rise of the Vaccine Resistant, and It’s A Sick World!

Plus there’ll be like no lines.

Excellent books! I also really appreciated that the character and her family were from the south (much less represented communities) and with all of the baggage that came with that.

You really do have to hand it to the Mets, they can lose under literally any circumstance.

I hate this for me, but I’m going cold turkey on the Mets for now. I don’t need the stress.

Uhhh I think I have a synopsis for this book-thing.

I don’t really know how I feel about it or how the story will eventually look.

But… progress?

With respect to both, “28 Years Later was shot on an iPhone” is the “Ariana Grande had to audition for Glinda like everyone else” of 2025.

They look like a different team. Need to stop the bleeding.

Statistically, realistically, this isn’t the collapse of the #Mets entire season.

But holy shit it feels that way.

GET GRIMACE BACK OUT TO CITI FOR A FIRST PITCH

…OR HONESTLY, MAYBE JUST TO PITCH

The #Mets right now are like a beautiful butterfly, crushing itself back inside the ugly cocoon.

I know, I really do know that there are way more important things going on than the weather in New York City… but at like noon today we swung instantly from five days of chilly, gloomy drizzle to SAUNA MODE and it has thrown me for a serious loop.

k the sun came out and it is BIG MAD

Day Six

Ah yes, this is the Mets

The Venn Diagram of people who can’t draw but were MS Paint kids, and people who can’t draw but adore Procreate is a circle.

did it go on vacation?? I bet it did, just called in the clouds and waltzed off somewhere. Left a cheap ring light plugged in instead and thought we wouldn’t notice.

Okay but we haven’t seen the sun in New York City since like Thursday

It is INSANITY that this app costs less than movie ticket.

I can’t claim that this is the best use of either my time or my money, but I got myself a refurb iPad and am trying to teach myself Procreate.

(It’s hard, tips and advice DEARLY WELCOMED)

#LFGM!!!
