Excellent advice.

Indeed. I found the space enveloped by all these shelves to be kind of serene--and yet it made my skin crawl.

They must be. I think you are right, Barlow.

FOR SURE. This was not cheap. On the contrary I bet.

It is indeed hard to fathom.

Yes, you are right. It is the embodiment of our future in AI-land.

Seriously! I thought the same thing. In an AI world, who needs books? This hotel is in Cambridge, MA. Right off of Harvard Square.

What? Blocks of wood pretending to be books? Are we okay with this? Is this cool or a total horror show? I feel like the music from Psycho should be playing here.

Hi.

I’ve been editor-in-chief of Teen Vogue for the last 4.5 years β€” a dream job, one I never thought a Brown girl from small town Louisiana might hold.

I am so incredibly proud of the work we’ve done and what we accomplished. Our journalism has won major awards. (cont’d)

Absolutely over the moon that Nini Berndt's Split Lip story made it onto the Distinguished list in Best American Short Stories! I think this might be a first for our mag. A HUGE milestone. From the moment I read it in our queue, I knew WINGDINGS was very very special. I love it so.

The light falling on Memorial Hall and the fall foliage around it was so spectacular, I had to photograph it. The sky is so blue! Not a cloud to be seen.

Had a truly glorious time back at Harvard for the 60th anniversary of the Michael C. Rockefeller Fellowship. I try not to indulge in nostalgia because I find it rather painful. But this weekend was full of beautiful autumn light, meaningful reflection, deep abiding community, and endless gratitude.

Anyway a great way to radicalize people is for them to realize that you just abandoned their chance at being able to access and afford health care because you didn’t like waiting in line at the airport.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

Thank you. I’m on a train right now but plan to do the same as soon as on the street.

It is time for @schumer.senate.gov to step down or be primaried. He doesn’t have the spine for this job. We need new leadership as soon as possible.

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.

If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.

VOTE THESE DEMS OUT. IT IS TIME FOR TRUE LEADERSHIP NOT THIS BULLSHIT COWARDICE. Stand up for what is right or go home!!!!
