Cozy snow work day ❄️ and I get to work on things about Philip Guston! (My fave)

I just wanna say that I’ve long been a proud hater of Matthew Yglesias and it will soon be time for a grand and bittersweet “I Was Right” post

I still can’t get over this rock🥹 I got engaged yesterday, and my *now fiancé* gave me his grandmother’s ring, which obviously makes it even more special. She fled the Holocaust as a kindertransport child, and lost most of her family. If anyone knows more about the style (art deco??), pls lmk!

I’m quite pleased with how our fridge magnet collection is coming together

Something very exciting happened today 🥰 it looks like I’m getting married!!!

Please keep Kentucky and surrounding environs in your prayers. There’s major flooding… again :( 8 souls already passed. www.kentucky.com/news/weather...

Jewish Burial Society pitcher from Mikulov, Moravia, 1836. Note the beautiful use of negative space. I also love the way these figures are painted, and how the Hebrew letters kind of echo their silhouettes

I came across this photo of Torah scrolls stolen by the Nazis. They were stripped of their traditional armor, crown, and covers, which you can sort of understand as clothing…leaving them essentially naked. The picture reminds me too much of the prisoners in the camps.

it's such a challenging spiritual exercise for me to not "create" on Shabbos. It's this beautiful time of the week when i'm prohibited form doing anything i "have to" do, so it's so tempting to make the videos that i didn't have time for all week. and the point is to not to haha

“I got the bird flu” - heard at the Eagles Super Bowl win parade 🦅

Eagles fan: “Wtf did those guys say to me?” Me: “they think the messiah is here, it’s a whole thing” Fan: “that’s ridiculous. The messiah ain’t here, not in this fckin city”

I’m not ready for this yet😭

The American Quilter’s Society allegedly refused to show two quilts in an exhibition after claiming they could be controversial. One work could be interpreted as depicting female anatomy, the other references abortion.

Could someone please make a non alcoholic bourbon that tastes amazing that I could drink at like 2pm while editing podcasts

Y’all have no idea how impressive it is how Kendrick even impressed my extremely Euro American boomer mother. He was truly on a whole other level and speaking to all of America 😅

the one singular prominent aspect of my Connecticut accent didn't come to play. I was trying to say the word "written", apparently

How does it feel, New York Times? Did you get everything you wanted after repeatedly downplaying how dangerous Trump was?

Do I have any buds here from Jackson Mississippi? If so, Is F. jones shut down? Because they’re not picking up the phone

Im away from home, and my dear friend is taking my wonderful kitty to the ER for a second time 😢 I’m so confused and angry that he keeps having problems 😢 I’ve already cried about it 3 times
