Sorry, I should have written, "my husband" instead of Allan because y'all have no idea who he is, lol.
When I got home I found these two pieces of mail laid almost exactly like this on my reading stand. Allan swears he didn't do it on purpose. Oh, the subconscious she is powerful... #ZohranMamdani #WarbyParker
Today's #ItCameFromTheEighties #DeepThought: the title "The Greatest American Hero" implies there were additional non-American and/or not-as-great American heroes with suits out there. #TheGreatestAmericanHero
I needed what #SethGodin's #DailyCalendar had for me today:
"The #Future arrives whether we are ready for it or not."
That moment on the A train when the #NYCsubway diagram crashed because someone forgot to rotate system log files? #Priceless. #SubwayUnixHumor #SubwayDevOps
These two #TennisBalls were the same color before I hit the left one against the wall for 40 minutes yesterday. The wall had a green chalk drawing covering maybe 25% of its surface but that was enough to leave my ball 100% covered. #TheWallAlwaysWins
Playing #tennis a few days before the U.S. Open started, the strings on my racquet happened to snap spectacularly while playing. This is me on the #NYCsubway taking it to be restrung before heading to Queens to watch the pros do their thing. #RacquetRestring
The agony and the ecstasy from recent #Subwaydle solves. I failed at the former with six tries at the middle train (it was 6-7-2), then with the latter just a couple of days later I scored a very rare for me "hole-in-one". #NYCsubway
Not my favorite #BrooklynHeights #NYCdiner but it was always a solid option. The history of the place can't be denied. In my gut I feel that POTUS's recent actions hastened the demise.

Maybe we'll head over and do one last brisket hash before they start liquidating on Friday... (Link in comments)
Rainbow Rackets is NYC's new, vibrant community of beginning tennis enthusiasts. (Full disclosure: I'm their webmaster.) Check us out at our website and on the "socials" - links in the comments - and feel free to drop Likes/Follows where you can. 😀 #RainbowRackets #LGBTQtennis #GayTennis #NYCtennis
After a six month closure of all of their locations, Go! Go! Curry, NYC's venerable Japanese mini-chain restaurant is back! I made a special trip during this month's soft-reopening and got my favorite Home Run combo. The verdict: food quality must be improved but the atmosphere is back! #GoGoCurry
The message the universe sent me today from the bottom of a discard pile of soon-to-be-shredded receipts.
My friend Joanna gets arts and crafty sometimes… (hehheh) #DontRankCuomo
Cuomo has nothing but disdain for people like me (women,) so I channeled a combo of spell casting, textile wizard matriarchs, and put up some bunting. #DontRankCuomo
@asylumist.bsky.social You are more likely to see me in Brooklyn… I will be in Philly on Friday “just because” but that’s my only travel plan anywhere at the moment.
@asylumist.bsky.social Something I discovered about BlueSky: it helps to be active in shared communities related to you, and to generously hashtag your posts. This post particularly should be hashtagged IMO.
