What’s the word where you’re from that, when pronounced exactly as it looks, identifies a tourist immediately?

honestly, one of the reasons i'm sad it's turned into such a trash heap is that i could list the great things that happened in my life coz of social media ALL DAY LONG. not even joking. odds are good it's how i know you and how we became friends. i'm heartbroken that it's all gone so bad.

i'm pitching a book right now so it's good to read this.

‘Stay true to yourself – and fly closer to the sun’: what I’ve learned from 50 years of rejection

As a writer, I have been rejected thousands of times, and it initially led to shock, denial and anger. Then I accepted it. Here’s what you can gain from doing so too

As an aside, H is really well. Little guy recovered from his awful health scare with no lasting concerns. Back to his healthy weird self.

Frankly, i'm annoyed there isn't a live feed of the whole situation.

H was due for a vax so we were at the vet. While we were checking out there was all kindsa chaos going on; a bunch of people with a bigass ladder. The gal behind the counter says, "Oh, yeah, there's a lot going on. A cat got out and it's up in the ceiling." I have endless follow up questions.

The last time I flew out of JFK I had to unpack my bag at the security because the Zabar's babka was not recognizable to the scanner. "Oh, it's cake." NO IT IS NOT IT IS ZABAR'S BABKA. may his memory be a blessing.

Zohran Kwame Mamdani @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social · 1d

I grew up going to Zabar's. So many of my childhood memories center around the best lox in NYC (which is saying something). With Saul Zabar's passing today, the Upper West Side has lost a legend who turned his parent's humble store into a culinary institution.

Today marks the two-year anniversary of the horrific October 7 attack.

As we mourn the 1,218 lives lost that day, let us also keep alive the dream of a lasting peace and a better future for all.

Ceasefire now. Every hostage must come home. And a safer world for everyone.
