After 6 years of living on a brick-paved "historical" street that couldn't be plowed because it was so bumpy, I have moved to an apartment on a paved street that is regularly plowed and, oh, I am so happy about it.

I honestly think that many people don't know what their public libraries offer besides books. I think that everyone should go on a public library treasure hunt in 2026. Go explore what your library systems offer at no cost to you. Report back to me :)
“I miss blockbuster video” the library has every dvd totally untouched and I never see you there

This is why hating and mocking AI relentlessly and publicly is vital work.

The company said the moment served as "an important learning" as it explored "the effective use of AI"

2025 has just been absolute shit on so many levels. I'm ready to just pack it up and start 2026 already.

If every charity and politician I donated to had a "add $20 to your donation and we won't add you to any of our mailing lists" button, I would probably hit it every time.

Oh the revenge bedtime procrastination is hitting hard today. I easily could be in bed already, (not even 8:30 PM), but I want time to watch my silly lil show.

In terms of what’s understood to be socially acceptable behavior, normalizing the filming/taking pictures of people in public who are minding their own business (and putting it online) is one of the worst developments of the past 15 years.

The secret to happiness is a couch, an xxl heating pad, a queen-sized micro-fleece blanket, and the newest season of GBBO. Ask me how I know.

It's been 4 months since leaving a decade-long relationship that was mostly happy (& that sucked to leave) and my friends are already trying to set me up with dates.

Makes me realize how different my sense of my own timeline is. Call me back in 1.5-2 years, guys. Maybe I'll be ready by then.

Reviewed my close friends list on Insta (cause I was using it) and noticed my friend who died almost 3 years is still on it.

I kept her on it, of course.

Love you, Jules. 💖

I'm sorry. Zohran has Lina Khan on his team? Lina Khan? Blessed, sir. You are blessed. That woman is as competent as they come and with exactly the right amount of tenacity for modern bureaucracy.

I'm stupid-psyched for this.

The biggest difference by far watching the various campaigns as a New Yorker and all of the messaging we were targeted with I think is an important takeaway for the whole country:

Cuomo’s entire message was threats and fear and cynicism.

Mamdani’s entire message was lightness and joy and hope.
