formerly a journalist, now just a person. she/her.
I have been pining for the return of @heavyweight.bsky.social and was very, very disappointed to hear Jonathan do a live ad-read for ChatGPT, of all things. He was advertising ChatGPT's free promotion for college students, which is one of the worst combinations of words I've ever heard.
Man the random grief attacks are insane. I’ve been doing a lot of crying in my car is this normal
Hey what’s going on with this. To be clear I’ve never needed anything to come back more in my entire life
Heavyweight@heavyweight.bsky.social · 2y agoIt's autumn, and since that usually means the return of Heavyweight, we wanted to say hello. We've been looking for a new home for the show, and should have more news to share with you very soon. Stay tuned! open.spotify.com/episode/4dhh...
My grandma died, it was natural and normal and completely devastating and horrific for us but she was 94 and died in relative comfort. I can’t stop thinking about what it would have been like had this been done to us, rather than just happened as a matter of course.
HORRIFIC: going through my recently deceased grandmother’s laptop I’ve discovered a story I wrote in 2002 when I was 13. I probably emailed it to her back then.
Reading the Gita after a lifetime of avoiding it. Least I can do for my Patti.
Man this cow really had us sitting in the road strategizing for a few minutes.
Happy birthday to me and happy one year of deciding to stay alive for the long haul
One hour until I turn 36. Best year of my life so far capped by maybe one of the worst months of my life. With some really, really fucking beautiful moments sprinkled in. So fucking much is ending for me but a few new things are starting which is welcome
Half the vegetables my Patti likes are like okra and bitter gourd and the daals and sambhars are so fucking bland I’m literally losing weight this trip just because eating is kind of painful.
I tried to type “emotional regulation” and what came out was “emotional reggaeton” which would be nice right about now, if we’re being honest
Hey menswear guy, can you rate my grandpa’s fit? Taken sometime 1950s, when my grandfather was flying for the Indian Air Force. @dieworkwear.bsky.social
I’m not writing publicly again but I am writing — prolifically and every day for a very small audience of friends and family. I won’t go public again tomorrow but it will be soon. When I do it will be on jayatime.substack.com

Sometimes my 95-yo granddad will drop an insane detail, like how South Indians were forced to eat wheat bc the British were exporting all the rice during WWII, but the story is always ultimately something like the time he made a nice cup of coffee in 1945 that someone appreciated
Using only a restaurant tell us where you went to college

My 93 year old grandmother in Bangalore and I share our wordle scores back and forth everyday and this is what she had to say for me when I told her I almost lost the game yesterday.
Literally wild how every Shakespeare either ends in everyone dying violently or everyone getting married
The worst thing about all your friends being in a touring Shakespeare company is that there’s no actual way to avoid being forced into audience participation
God my best friend’s baby is the best thing to ever happen to me
Bestie popped by the way. Mama and baby are safe and happy. I’m an auntie yall
In so many ways, childbirth is hardest on the non pregnant best friend of the expectant mother. I have so many memes to send that bestie can’t pay attention to right now
My new best friend is coming, her mom is pushing my new bestie out of her body and I’m stuck at work. They should give out auntie leave because I’m a mess
man when I first watched 30 Rock I was Cerie's age, and on this watch, I'm Liz Lemon's age. really makes you think
I still don’t know what a nattering nabob of negativity is but I do know that it was the funniest (maybe politics related….?) phrase my boomer mother has ever heard
Man I know I’m not the first person to ever say this but Cabaret is a really good musical
