    Just to clarify, : you can remember to put the accent on “début” in a tweet, but you couldn’t double-check if you were using the right Asian woman’s face for your illustration, is that correct? 🤔

    Just putting it out there, I know of two other Celeste Ng’s: one is a real estate dealer in Singapore and the other is a Singaporean teen, and none of us are each other.

    On top of that, recently said he supports cutting sales tax, which would devastate funding for education, healthcare, environment - which he's already cut!

    Day 3 of massive delays on the 's Red Line. But, still refuses to support the Amendment and the $2B in new revenue it will bring for our public transit, public schools, and our crumbling roads and bridges.

    Anyway, one thing that sucks about going overseas is that you fall in love with these places and things and then you have to leave them behind, so thank you for indulging me.

    When I got back to Cambridge, it felt like summer. But spring flowers were blooming.

    Neat design for a book of portraits of women. From the front, it’s “No Men,” with the spine, it’s “WoMen.”

    Book cover with photo of a woman, title appears to be “NO MEN”
    Same book cover, at an angle so that you can see the title is “WOMEN”; the left part of the W is on the spine

    View from the museum. That land across the water is Sweden.

    Green lawn, with water behind it, and faint shape of land across the water.
