    I’ve not much to say about atoning, but a lot to say about the joys of gathering with one’s community. Yom Kippur with other humans was ace.

    My nephew, only 14 years old, has excellent social skills.

    Me at dinner last night: I'm having a hard time w/ WFH these days, feeling untethered + generally off. S/O: Well you know what you can do... Teen: Shhh, Dad, women don't want you to fix things all the time, sometimes they just want to be heard. Me: ??? Teen: Everyone knows this.

    Neil Diamond ("Yussel Rabinovitch") sings Kol Nidre in the 1980 remake of The Jazz Singer (you can watch the 1927 original, starring Al Jolson, on YouTube). Sir Laurence Olivier plays Yussel's disapproving father.

    It's still really hard to obtain an abortion in Mexico, but at least it's not illegal anymore.

    Emily Hauser. Editor's joy since 2013 (back in the Daily Beast days). Do read her fierce take on the Texas abortion law.

    So happy to have my first piece in , and deep thanks to no-longer-my-former-editor for pulling me in to write about this thing that honestly, as mad as we are, we're not really mad enough. Because if your body is open to legislation, you're not free. Full stop.

    This thread is remarkable - in part because typically black and brown journalists are the ones forced to speak up here. Can't imagine statistics at any of the major journalistic institutions would look much better...

    Let’s talk about racism! Most white people at prestigious magazines don’t ever want to talk about race or diversity at all. Why? It's primarily because they’ve been allowed to exist in a world where their mastheads resemble member registries at Southern country clubs circa 1950..

    Brilliant. The power of the message matches the vitriol of the haters, so clearly she made her point.

    Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez took to the 2021 with a bright red message for Americans: "Tax the Rich."

    Reminds me of a high school debate I once heard. "Be it resolved that war is a force for good." One debater argued that war was necessary to prune the population. A member of the opposing team asked: "Madam. Would YOU like to be PRUNED?"

    I am very struck by how true and important this essay by feels. Black women are given so much credit when they achieve superhuman feats—e.g., Stacey Abrams, Serena Williams, Simone Biles, Naomi Osaka—and so little room to be just human. And tired.

    My latest for “[Black women] are also widely identified as an essential element of American infrastructure. And just like all America’s infrastructure, Black women are taken for granted until there is a disaster.”

    Very odd day so far. Ur WASP friend with Canadian roots going back to the 1600s sent me a picture of the creamy hummus he made using Ottolenghi’s recipe, and a “French from France” friend who probably teethed on brioche announced that she plans to vote for Bloc Québécois.
