Quite good: cook, reader, procrastinator. Decent: mom, writer, teacher. Terribly bad: athlete, winker, cat trainer. Reposts are jokes I wish I'd made first.

I just got an ad for an app that gives kids age-appropriate versions of classic novels. It is clearly AI garbage but now I’m desperate to read the elementary versions of these books. Do you think they review any of the text before slapping it on there?

Slipped into the Amanda Williams show at the Casey Kaplan gallery. Forgive me for even trying to photograph it. Go see if you can! Williams recreates a blue pigment patented by George Washington Carver.

My wonderful grad students want to read Clarissa in real time. I sent some thoughts. Sharing them here in case anyone’s up for it (again!).
