"Verify your age." I'm making mix tapes from two sides of a boom box years old.

“Verify your age.” Not finding out which cinema showed the movie you wanted to watch, or when, until you opened the newspaper, or called the theater & listened to the recorded message.

It's 2026 and this just keeps happening. Rando men who I've just met (nurses, HVAC repair, etc...) calling me honey, sweetie, or darlin. Dude, I'm a complete stranger to you and it's creepy . Two men could call me sweetheart; one of them is dead. The other is @danielmkim.bsky.social. 1/2

Ruth Bader Ginsmeow had one hell of a nightmare last night. She hissed so hard, she woke herself up.

Shrimp is one of Ruth's favorite foods. W/ chicken or fish, she begs. W/shrimp, she plots. When she couldn't open the tupperware where they were defrosting, she faceplanted into a plate of shrimp tacos, grabbed the plumpest shrimp, and ran off to hide with her booty. #cats

Compelling thread. Thank you @thomasjuneau.bsky.social

It's been a week of war in Iran. Where are we? -The US & Israel have accumulated tactical successes. The Islamic Repubic is not on the verge of collapse, but it is much weaker. -Again: how to translate this into sustainable strategic success is at best uncertain.

My two food pet peeves. 1. Calling things kimchi that are not kimchi. 2. The overuse of rice paper. Ex: You can call bacon, scrambled eggs, and cheese wrapped in a rice paper spiral a bagel but that does not make it one. Additions, friends?

Meanwhile, I'm sound asleep in the bedroom with both cats, who @danielmkim.bsky.social found SHARING the bed with me. You heard that right.

This is my whiskey glass. There are many like it, but this one is mine. Christmas present from @drjchernov.bsky.social with an inscription of Lincoln’s quote about Grant’s supposed drunkenness, send each of my generals a barrel of what he drinks. I’m smoked. 1000 guests tonight. Happy new year.

This week has been so mentally, physically and emotionally draining that I plunked face first into Ruth's belly floof last night and she, being the best kitty, let me lay there for a good few minutes unmoving before giving me the "enough" nudge.

Just submitted final grades.

Ruth received a box of cat toys from a family friend. She has been acting strange every since. Sitting in a tense loaf and then running after them, licking them, etc.... Well....they're all filled with catnip. She's stoned out of her mind.

In light of the shooting at Brown University, a reminder: please don't rush to post in order to be first. Wait for substantive evidence from reliable sources lest you inadvertently spread misinformation. As a Rhode Islander who grew up a few miles from Brown, this one hits home.

ISD and Movember are partnering to examine how online misogyny fuels violence against women and girls and affects men and boys’ wellbeing. In the first of a series, we call for a public-health approach that engages men and boys as partners in prevention, not just as potential perpetrators.

This article is the first in a series of policy briefings from Movember and the Institute for Strategic Dialogue (ISD), bringing together our expertise on men and boys’ health, online misogyny and inn...

Cat Chronicles (a continuing saga). @drjchernov.bsky.social got up last night & beheld a massacre. Goodie had somehow opened the cupboard door, gotten the bag of Delectables squeeze treats out, & bit through all but one tube. His expression while demanding breakfast: "Je ne regrette rien, Maman."

@danielmkim.bsky.social , come get your cat. He has chased Ruth around with such vim and vigor, you'd think she was attached to a rotisserie chicken on a string, and when I rescued her from his clutches, he slapped my butt.

Let me preface this by saying @danielmkim.bsky.social is the love of my life. BUT MY MAN, PUT THE DAMN TOILET SEAT DOWN AFTER YOU USE IT.

Dan Kim (김명준)@danielmkim.bsky.social · 10mo ago

Let me preface this by saying @drjchernov.bsky.social is the love of my life. But when you replace the toilet paper roll, it’s supposed to roll from the top down, not the bottom up.

We are in the midst of FAFO. Goodie has been here for less than 30min. He's already chased Ruth all over the house, trying to slap her butt & climbed into & clawed at her travel bag. There have been multiple standoffs. It's only a matter of time until she wacks him. @danielmkim.bsky.social

The basic infrastructures that allow women to be participants in public life—birth control & abortion access, no fault divorce, childcare access & affordability, civil rights law in employment and public accommodations, the minimal efforts to mitigate sexual and domestic violence—are all crumbling.
