I was kind of bummed about being contagious on Rosh Hashana but I realized it starts on the 11th which is frankly often a very good day to stay at home in this town.

this whole bullshit about 'Mamdani should skip the 9/11 memorial' is that he would also be lambasted widely if he did in fact skip it. literally they've set up a no-win scenario and its just straight islamophobia and racism

Every time I’m sick I tell myself that when I’m well I’m going to clean my room really thoroughly but I know that when I’m well I’ll be busy catching up on what I fell behind on while I was sick, and after I’ve caught up I’ll have stopped noticing it’s dirty.

Jacob Lawrence, The Library, 1978. Lawrence loved libraries, where he did research for his paintings from early on in his career, most notably at Harlem's Schomburg Center. He made numerous pictures of libraries that celebrate the librarians & library workers who keep them running

A thread devoted to Jacob Lawrence, one of most acclaimed American painters of the 20th century, born #OnThisDay in 1917. Fitting that today is Labor Day since work & labor were among his most enduring themes. First up: Home Chores, 1945, painted soon after he returned from military service in WWII

That people don't recognize astrology as prejudice always surprises me. Like, you are ascribing traits to someone based on the circumstances of their birth, but it's viewed as (at worst) harmless fun. It's like phrenology but socially acceptable.

we are going to have to do this with the military too. Senior leadership that went along with things like murdering hundreds of randos in boats have to be publicly made examples of

As someone who is generally made miserable by eye contact, I will never understand the rise of all these videos where people face you directly. The illusion of strangers looking at me is not an enjoyable one. Kind of sucks in fact. I will close the window to avoid it.
