Women are dive-bombing into wellness as an attempt to re-enter our actual selves following a mind-body split so mass and profound that even Descartes didn't see it coming and misunderstanding these attempts as trendy capitalism is sexist and also anti-intellectual, good morning

If you aren't infected with viruses for a few months you lose your immune system. It literally goes away. All the astronauts that have lived in the space station are dead or nearly dead now sadly. This is how it works. I am a very good epidemiologist

I'll say it again: the reason Everything Everywhere All At Once is so good is precisely because it is deeply weird and chaotic. It made the space for Asian creatives to be wild, to take artistic risks, and to be released from the burden of sad trauma stories. What a gift.

Hugh Grant and Ashley Graham's red carpet exchange about "Vanity Fair " (he was talking about the 1848 novel about shallow society, she thought he was referring to the 2023 magazine after party) is my favourite #Oscars moment of all time.

As a suburban, Canadian (so, extra-boring personal context) teen I had email and a non-smart cell phone, no obligations to them, no social media. I had a car, a boyfriend, few rules, much trust and was *free* to a now-unbelievable degree. We weren't sophisticated but we were GLAM

Quote Tweet

I’m reading the Shards and my standard suburban teen life in 2007 seems way closer to Bret’s life as a rich high school senior in Hollywood in 1981 than that of an ordinary teen in 2017. Sort of an interesting knot in refinement culture

The secret/actual worst thing about parenting: so many losers

Quote Tweet

I swear, 30% of the posts in mom groups are about kids (colic, tantrums, sleepless nights) and the other 70% are about useless husbands. It’s wild (and depressing) how ubiquitous it is. I can’t fathom having a partner who won’t change diapers. twitter.com/SarJD123/statu…

Memphis's skateboarders pushing down Main Street in honor of Tyre Nichols, who was known for his skills at parks here and in Sacramento. The skating scene here is more scattered than Sac's, skaters say, but they told me they still feel like they lost a part of their family.

I really liked how Marie Kondo acknowledged and made space for the magical/irrational aspects of possession. I love "Does this spark joy?" as opposed to "Do I really need this?" or "Have I worn this in the last six months?"
