Finally got a section of office gallery wall hung. It was all going well until a nail hit something more fierce than a stud. (What’s behind it—a plate, a joist, the cask of amontillado? Who can say.) Now I need to figure out the rest of the wall without making twice as many nail holes as necessary.

Meet Kayleigh, the 2025 American Girl doll. Her story is about building friendships amidst her country's fascist government! Her accessories include a matcha latte, processed food for stress-eating, and a tote from a new NPR pledge! Her hobbies include doomscrolling and biting her fingernails!

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

The three people I most often think of relative to the AI debate in terms of consent, ethics, and compensation are Henrietta Lacks, Dr. James Marion Sims, and Muriel Fahrion.

When I was a kid I thought the sonic showers on Star Trek were cool because the future imagined a world where I wouldn’t spend so much time waiting for my hair to dry.

It’s been 5 years since lying awake listening to the buzz of helicopters flying overhead while getting texts from friends about what military vehicles were in or near their neighborhoods, and somehow we still ended up with all this.

Trying to find the mental load upside in a break from washing lunchbox stuff is a little like feeling relief over side-stepping a puddle before a tsunami.

“All the Veterans Might Lose their Healthcare, but a Draft Dodger Gets his Ultimate, Big-Boy G.I. Joe Party with Real Tanks” really seems like it ought to be a bigger headline.

🙂: my skin in the morning when I remember to put skincare potion stuff on it the night before vs. 🤩: my skin in the morning when I make time to intentionally drink water, go for a walk the day before I will forget all about this observation in under 2 hours.
