Wonderful

This is my Grayson, whom I brought home three years ago today. All hail!

You know what to do.

No Kings, Moynihan Station

This

This. And it happened in Youngstown, Ohio. Where I grew up. (That is as close as I can get to taking credit for it).

You got it.

Who is the Jew in the LANTERNS' writers room who made the number on Noah's football jersey 18?

From A Wave Blue World, publishing next fall!

Banning any press from the White House is blatantly unconstitutional, but it is so pleasant not to hear his voice incessantly.

Asked my daughter if she wants to go to college. She said yes. Asked her what college she wanted to go to and she said “fish” and I’m not sure what to make of that.

Here’s what I don’t get: the people most likely to vote by mail are older and/or rural, people for whom it can be difficult to get to their polling places. These people are most likely to vote Republican. Why is the Mar-a-Lago Mango picking on them?

Gloria Steinem came to Oberlin and started a bunch of consciousness raising groups, including mine. It was life-changing. She did much much more, of course. Rest well. You’ve earned it.

We are too stupid to live.

Not Hugh Laurie!

I confess that I'm a sucker for a cajun accent, but even I can't put up with him anymore.

This whole thread is brilliant. Made me see where time travel, magical thinking and politics align.

An eggplant from the Union Square Green Market. I want to carve it like a pumpkin.

Only five more shopping months until Christmas.

So gross

Lindsay Graham was not on my list of those most likely to die. Most wanted to die, maybe.

Made me laugh

Works for me

This is so sad. How does one go to sleep at night without a book? What do you do if you’re lonely? I’m never lonely with a book.

I love this.

Truth

My boy, Grayson. Posing for Caturday

Today’s existential crisis: my shrink is retiring at the end of the year.

Shout out to this person, I assume the poet laureate of New York City.

I hope he plays Free Bird.

i have nothing but spitting contempt for people who look at this political movement and downplay or deny its open and explicit white nationalist

The guy who sells books in Union Square tells me, “They’re raiding the park today.” “ICE?” I ask. “Holiday pay.”

*sigh*

This is from a Brit, and I agree wholeheartedly.

Went to Washington Square yesterday for the May Day rally. Lots of unions and socialist groups, which were great to see. Unfortunately, they had very boring signs. Are there no graphic artist unions? Design was one of ACT-UP’s best features. That, and working to end AIDS and homophobia.

Made me laugh

Oy

Every day, there are fewer people older than me. I realized this a few months ago and thought I was being quite profound. And then I thought, “This has been true since birth.”

Oy. Imagine if Michelle Obama did this!

Sure thing

Yesterday on my way to and from Brooklyn, I was offered a seat three times. I guess I officially look old and feeble.
