My great-grandfather started The Society for the Benefit of the Citizens of Guardia-Lombardi, an Italian immigrant support network. When they got off the boat at Ellis, they were given a handbook that listed resources like where to find housing, a job, relatives, etc. My dad has a copy of the book.

A loved one is an indie artist trying to build a following on Spotify long before the ICE issue. He has accts on SoundCloud, YouTube, IG, etc. but it’s so hard getting noticed & now the boycott makes it harder. It’s not just big artists there. I understand reason for boycott but still sad for him. 💔

Bought! The whrrr of the dial. The cradle between your ear & shoulder so you could talk & do things with both hands. Carrying it around w/ a long extension cord. The superior sound. Sigh, I have such a thing for these vintage phones. Western Electric 500 Series 1962 📞

THIS PIE. The best pecan pie I ever had. Rich depth of flavor and not cloyingly sweet. The only change I made is to swap agave nectar for the maple syrup cuz that’s what I had. A new Thanksgiving tradition has begun! Recipe is from The Banana Diaries #vegan#veganfood

The President calling for the death of his political opponents as we lurch closer toward Civil War makes me want to just sit and crochet flowers, paint my bedroom deep blue, eat buttered toast, and take a nap. Yeah, all the calming and escapist things.

I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

Re MTG’s 180: Respite from her abuse brings relief which is not to be confused w/ approval or support. Public apology & long-term change is what it will take to build back trust. I want to believe it for her but once bitten… Otoh, at one point we will all have to to deal w/ conversion of ex magas.

I train ballet dancers with an average age of fourteen. They are smart, dedicated, very talented GIRLS. And girls are KIDS and kids are CHILDREN! I’ve got a baseball bat and a mean left hook at the ready for any creepy guy with evil intention who dares leer in their general direction. 🥊
