Congrats to @adamm0rgan.bsky.social on his fascinating book, "A Danger to the Minds of Young Girls: Margaret C. Anderson, Book Bans, and the Fight to Modernize Literature," which is out today. I wrote about it for @chicagomag.com: www.chicagomag.com/chicago-maga...
How an Early 20th-Century Editor Outraged the Establishment
A new book explores how Margaret C. Anderson went against the literary grain. Here’s what we learned.

The audacity of a 1000-piece puzzle to include an extra duplicate of a flower while missing a whole other piece.
Grrrrrr.

Brainstorming how to win the family's competitive gingerbread house decorating again. Nothing beats the year that my nieces and nephew ate their houses and only THEN did my sister tell us she used superglue to keep them sturdy.
The kids survived. 😂

There are many songs about this city, but Tom Waits wrote one of the best, simply titled "Chicago." Out today, Mavis Staples' new album kicks off with her fantastic version of the song. I'm so glad to hear this quintessential Chicago singer putting her own stamp on it.

Canceled many subscriptions over the last six months and don’t miss a single one. I’m actually reading books from the LIBRARY and loving it. Good riddance #spotify, #applemusic, #paramount+, #netflix, #hulu, #amazonprime, #audible

There’s an empty lot next to my house that they can’t build on and it’s sort of a shared yard between me and my neighbor. My neighbor decorates the one that is closest to my house and is sort of part of my yard, but I’m not complaining. Iz cute.

My nieces insisted I stay at their house so we could stay up late despite snow on its way.
My car got stuck at their house but my sister drove me home and asked what groceries I needed.
Found this tucked in along with my bread and soup.
I like it and I think it means I’m old.

A cut from “My Best Fiend” showing a cut from “Aguirre, the Wrath of God”, both by Werner Herzog.
Was on a Herzog binge years ago and was surprised when my niece went to an industry event feat. him. And here I thought I was appreciating this art all by myself.

And even tho the appt is 15min, she wants me to pretend it’ll take two hours so we can hang out and she doesn’t have to walk into math class in the middle when it’s quiet.
On it. Bucks of the Star, here we come.

Picked niece up from hs to go to an appt and had to sign her out. EVERYTHING was hard about it.
The parking lot had student drivers, every spot was reserved, the front entrance had two unlabeled doorbells, there were two main offices.
Gonna have new nightmares about being lost at school😫

More cooking learnings. With Thai jasmine rice, look for “hom mali” because that’s the variety that actually has a floral scent like Jasmine flowers

Watched a YouTube video by Ethan Chleowski “Are San Marzano tomatoes actually worth it?”
Takeaways:
- avoid calcium chloride
- choose san marzano (or style) over roma or generic
- pick ones packed in tomato puree not juice
🥫Cento and Delallo are my go-tos 🥫

In the NBA, the commissioner makes about the same as an ave. player, ~10-12 mill / yr.
Divvying his salary out to the players would be a raise of ~0.2%.
In the WNBA, Cathy Engelbert makes 20-40 x’s more than the ave player. Split that salary out and every woman’s paycheck jumps by 13-27%.

It’s beef stock season up in here, making enough to freeze for a few months and give to fam.
I didn’t realize how long it’d take tho and now I have to wait until 10pm to finish a beef vegetable stew I’m making. 🌝
