DAMMIT
Screenshot of a gossip columnist's Instagram showing Heidi Klum's 21-year-old daughter Leni Klum ALSO dressed as the main character in A Bad Case of Stripes, but in professionally done rainbow face and body paint, white short-shorts and a lacy white tank.

How'd I do?
Cover of the Scholastic book A Bad Case of Stripes by David Shannon, depicting a little girl with rainbow-striped face and arms in bed, covered by a pink blanket, with a thermometer in her mouth and a pink bow in her hair.

This is the illustration that haunted my childhood.
A page from The Story of Babar showing the king of the elephants eating a bad mushroom, then turning a horrid green, with wavy forehead lines and swollen eyes and shrunken ears and a limp trunk.

If you're pondering atonement (on a micro as well as macro level) right now, I hope this is a good listen. podlink.com/1576473592/e...
White text in a black square says "Friendship Repair: How to Say I'm Sorry, Accept Apologies, and Ask for One: Episode #166." Beneath the text is a pic of the cover of the book Getting to Sorry, by Marjorie Ingall and Susan McCarthy; the logo of the Dear Nina: Conversations About Friendship podcast; and a headshot of Marjorie (that would be me).

OK, Ikea. (PAVERE!)
Sign in Ikea with the headline, "Make your kitchen work for you" and the copy, "Kosher dietary guidelines ban certain food pairings--particularly the pairing of meat, dairy and pavere. Use these cutting boards to help you keep them apart." The word is "pareve," not "pavere," and it means neither meat nor dairy, and therefore fine with both. You do not need a pareve (or pavere) cutting board.

Vinnie is a gray and white bohunk with his head sticking out the front of a bright blue taco truck cat/scratcher called El Gato Fish Tacos. Novella is a dainty brown tabby hitching a ride on the corrugated cardboard roof, looking quizzical.

Got a press release: "Von Dutch Enters Food & Beverage Market." The 2000s trucker-hat brand is "building the future of lifestyle—from the way you dress to the way you eat, drink, and connect" and "creating cultural relevance in every corner of people’s lives” and o pls no.
bottles of "mushroom vodka" (looking like perfume bottles) in blue, pink, and light green, labeled VON DUTCH on the front and "A Y2K Deliciousness" on the back black bottles of "kava tonic" labeled "Von Dutch" on the front and "A Y2K Deliciousness" on the back

Nifty NYC wheatpasting campaign (spotted on an empty storefront on Second Avenue in the East Village)
Six wheatpasted posters on an empty storefront depict Andrew Cuomo in front of an American flag, with text on a red-white-blue background reading "Grandma's stories sucked. Grandpa hated everyone. You're welcome." A tag on the right says "Cuomo for Mayor" and a tiny URL, seemoreevil.com, leads to other agitprop posters by Dennard Dayle. A wheatpasted poster on an empty storefront with a big photo of NYC Mayor Eric Adams looks like a campaign poster, but the text reads, "No one fights harder for Eric." In a smaller font, it says, "EVERY Eric Adams deserves wealth, security and wealth. Your money can save that dream. And vote, if you have time." Beneath that it says A See More Evil endorsement, with the URL seemoreevil.com, where you can enjoy other agitprop posters by Dennard Dayle.

I woke them up and am a terrible person.
A surly-looking tabby and an aggrieved-looking dilute calico, lying on a blue-green couch, stare balefully into the camera.

Found this cute painting (by @sold.out.art.show on Instagram) in a trash can on Fifth Ave at 13th; left it in front of the movie theater on 12th at University! I see their wheatpasted art on Bleecker a lot!

Forgot to take Seder photos last night but I did take a picture of this unnerving carrot

I appreciate Jonathan Adler's ruthless seder-plate editing: Two oranges and a sprig of parsley.

MOOOOOM DUOLINGO IS BULLYING ME
A Duolingo screen displays, “¿Qué tienes en tu oreja? ¿Queso viejo? Tienes que ducharte ahora, por favor.” (The user has filled in “ducharte” from choices listed, including “ducharse” and “te duchas.”) The translation below that reads, “What do you have in your ear? Old cheese? You have to take a shower, please.”

As a mom, I am offended.

Mazels to my pal Gayle Forman, whose novel After Life is GMA's YA Book Club pick! AND she looked super-snazzy on the teevee. The book — about a girl who returns from a bike ride and learns she's been dead for seven years — is both a page-turner and a cathartic read about grief & second chances.
George Stephanopoulos, on the set of GMA, holds a copy of Gayle Forman's new young adult novel After Life. Behind him is a bright yellow circle reading Good Morning America Book Club superimposed over a wallpaper pattern made from the book jacket. Novelist Gayle Forman, wearing an oversized red glasses, a nifty Wildfang suit, and barely visible Fluevog heels, sits smiling in the green room at Good Morning America. The name of the show appears behind her in glowing light bulbs in front of a window with silver curtains.
