Both my parents fall into the range of adults who should consider getting revaccinated, so you bet I sent this to them

“I knew someone on AA5432.” That was the subject of an email NPR host Adrian Ma sent to newsroom leaders in the hours after the DC plane crash. He trusted us with sharing his story — and her contagious energy. www.npr.org/2025/02/20/g...

“You were put on this earth to torment me”

it seems like more and more real life is imitating the disaster/apocalypse movies of my youth my GOD

Jubilee has become fascinated with the outside in recent months. While we save to build a deck and catio, we’re leash training her. She’s very begrudgingly maybe beginning to think about sorta kinda accepting it as a condition of Open Door/Outside Time.

roses are red violets can be blue no one on earth's cuter than @malloryyu.bsky.social

Happy V-Day to both my Valentines. As you can see, @dogunderwater.bsky.social is wayyyy more enthusiastic about this than the cat.

We rented hanboks to explore Gyeongbokgung Palace in Seoul — you get in for free if you’re in a hanbok — and went with our own personal photographer (my dad)

My hot take: pre-made frosting is VILE.

Even if you don’t watch the show English Teacher, hope you'll read this. This is about more than 1 show, 1 guy. FX just renewed a show from a man facing allegations of assault. I have a LOT of questions about the implications not just for FX but for the whole industry www.salon.com/2025/02/12/f...

When my legs especially hurt, my brain likes to remind me "legs are required for jumpin, dancing'..." as if that'll stop me wanting to rip them off my body.

Happening upon a mama moose and her baby in an Alaska parking lot (and the subsequent glare and snort she sent my way) was one of the most harrowing moments of my life.

Just an evergreen callout: if you’re affected by Trump’s EOs regarding trans or nonbinary federal workers/contractors/student athletes, please contact me on Signal — kurtzleben.01 — to tell me what’s up. I am keeping my eye on this and want to tell what’s happening.

“I know it’s gross, but you gotta go potty, then we can go right back inside” — lady trying to convince her small poodle to leave their apartment building lobby

“You pay for us to not be cable so what if … we became cable, but worse?” is not it, guys.

After Trump put out an executive order targeting gender identity, the public lost access to many Census Bureau data tables and research reports for days, raising concerns about the data's integrity. By @hansilowang.bsky.social

FLOW! For the New York Times I talked to director Gints Zilbalodis about the success of his Oscar-nominated animation marvel in his native Latvia and abroad. The photos of Zilbalodis with the cats are stunning: www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/m...

the struggle

Having a commute is so stupid, like what do you mean my work day is finished but I'm not home yet???

Snow is picking up and the National Weather Service is warning of deteriorating conditions as accumulation on roads will begin as it turns dark (if it hasn't already). See the latest at cwg.live

Today, I ate a bite of panettone that converted me from panettone agnostic to full believer. I finally Get It. So I looked up the brand. One (rather large) loaf is $90! NINETY! DOLLARS! Talk about having champagne taste on a boxed wine budget...

Working in the office is all well and good but who else would take photos of the cat doing cat things? Hmm? Did y’all think about that?

Being overtired and overstimulated at the airport is a special kind of hell.

Something in my face must make it seem like I’ll let whoever cut in front of me. Unfortunately, I am spoiling for a fight and will tell an ajjussi off.

I tried to buy some pasalubong and snacks for myself at the airport duty free — and was told I couldn’t buy a box of my favorite polvoron because the US considers it “a powder” which I guess???? It’s the smallest of my current complaints about the US but still!!

I am the baby

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Oh no I’m awake, time to open the mental and emotional damage machine and cause mental and emotional damage to myself!

I successfully haggled by myself in the Philippines (without a local) and I feel So Powerful 💪🏼

We are going to the fourth largest mall in the world tomorrow and if I don’t find the fashion magazines with my Kpop boys there, I’m giving up because why have I been stymied at every turn?

My cousin just got married and in his vows, he talked about how he watched hundreds of wedding videos and had spreadsheets galore and Kat leans over and goes “oh so it’s the whole family.” Yeah. Sorry. The Lim genes are Strong.
