Edith Zimmerman has some cheeky fun with books by older and wiser fairy tale princesses.

On a whim, I checked out band cramp dot com. It is not owned by band camp, but rather redirects to good night kiss band dot com, which is dead. I hope you’ve learned something?

The company retreat in Palm Springs was wonderful as always. So grateful to work for an employee owned company with so many amazing humans, especially staring down the barrel of gestures wildly.

Space X had a launch the other night. It was wonderful to witness a group of people cursing out Elon to the sky.

Got my first pedicure yesterday. Life changing.

Me getting a pedicure. I’m smiling big.

For once, a good opinion piece from the New York Times.

What Trump wants you to see in all this activity is command. What is really in all this activity is chaos. They do not have some secret reservoir of focus and attention the rest of us do not. They have convinced themselves that speed and force is a strategy unto itself — that it is, in a sense, a replacement for a real strategy. Don’t believe them.

If Twin Peaks was turned into a Kaiju manga, the main villain would be gundam earl. I’ll show myself out.

The TSA website list of things you can bring on a plane. Circled in the entry for the Magic 8 Ball. You can't take it in your carry on, but you can take it in checked. The quote is, "For Carry-on bags: We asked the Magic 8 Ball and it told us...Outlook not so good! For Checked bags: We asked the Magic 8 Ball and it told us...it is certain!"

Even the TSA has some fun.

Flying early tomorrow morning to Palm Spring. I am excited to be warm. 🌴

I’ve been listening to a lot of Liar by The Jesus Lizard. Angry noise rock is very emotionally relevant for me right now. Who am I kidding, it always is. 🎵

I haven’t been posting regularly. The onslaught of Nazi noise from up top has been smacking me around. That is, of course, the goal. Yet, as we well know, we can’t post our way out of this. Keep your head up, and do what you can. Despite everything, they are ultimately a bunch of pathetic losers. 🇺🇸

Some mornings, you just breathe. ☕️

So much to ruminate on, to feel through. Dederer is both cogent and emotionally honest, clear eyed, resilient, and heartbroken. Fantastic.

My co-owner Helena shared this Shari Lewi’s brilliant Lamb Chop screen test from 1958. If you grew up with her, I dare you to not be warmed.
