Just made a typo in a (positive) review I left on Etsy and didn’t notice until after I’d posted, can’t seem to edit, and now I will have to live with this for the rest of my life.

Today, a person in my workshop mentioned that my novel, set in 1987, should be shopped to agents as historical fiction, and ok, well, I’ll just see myself off to the nursing home now.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar remembers Bill Russell, the man who taught him how to be bigger—as a player and as a man. theatlantic.com/culture/archiv…

I am in London and Boris Johnson is resigning. I am shocked. A leader of a Conservative Party is being held accountable by his own party. As a U.S. citizen, I was entirely cynical that he could be forced to resign. And I think every American knows why.

Somehow, this guy is a suspected of killing five people and he was not shot 60 times while being arrested. The news is confusing.

5. From the joint dissent by Justices Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan: "With sorrow—for this Court, but more, for the many millions of American women who have today lost a fundamental constitutional protection—we dissent."

Nothing screams white fragility quite like the response the West Rox folks are having to a 13 yo writing about his personal experience. Way to drown out a non-white person’s voice yet again, Boston.

Every gain women have won in this country - whether in education, labor, wages, workers rights, even health care - has been primarily dependent upon our ability & ease to control our own fertility.

"This does not stop with abortion. This expansion of state power will extend to voting rights, trans rights, marriage equality. It's anti-democratic. If you can make the argument that you can roll back rights in one area, you can in others. It's within the same line of case law."

My kid took his AP Gov exam this morning. He said he was helped on a FRQ by remembering a speech by Arnold Vinick on the West Wing. So… TV FTW? 🤷‍♀️

Another friendly reminder to stop eagerly getting out of jury duty just because you don’t want to.

Woke up this morning feeling the heaviness of the world, so decided to early vote to feel like I’m doing something productive. Am proud to have cast my vote for @wutrain. Several good candidates, but I truly believe she is the one with the best plans and ideas for ALL Bostonians
