Thank you to everyone who has been so kind & generous to me in what’s been a horrible year. For the first time I was not able to see or speak to my mother at christmas because my malignant narcissist brother is succeeding in excluding me from my family. I will need legal help in the new year.
Fair warning: for the first time since July, I have internet at home!
Thanks to my generous friends. ❤️

Someone asked me to comment on the anniversary of Jan 6. I will consider having comments on it….should it ever end. We are very much still reaching for the nadir of this reclamation. No time yet for historicizing it. Still trying to survive it.

So far she’s read Guy Delisle’s Factory Summers, Mimi Pond’s Over Easy, Julia Wertz’s Impossible People. Tonight it’s Keiler Roberts’s The Joy of Quitting. I have to decide which Gabrielle Bell to give her tomorrow: The Voyeurs, Lucky, or Cecil & Jordan… Advice?

We’ve had no internet at home since July. The upside? My daughter is reading a ton of books. First was my art history books. Then history & cinema books that were my dad’s. Now it‘s my graphic novels. Each morning at breakfast we discuss what she read the night before. She misses her streamers tho.

Talking with my daughters over breakfast this morning…
25yo: What’s stoicism?
23yo: It’s like Buddhism for men.

Got some movies from the library that my daughters had never seen.
So far we’ve watched
Bringing Up Baby
Paper Moon
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
High Noon
Gentleman’s Agreement
One more to go in the pile, slightly newer: Paris Texas.
I enjoy watching with them and hearing their opinions.

Again a big part of socialization in the US and elsewhere is a bedrock belief that Black people making *any* demands on your time, attention, resources, behavior or principles is an unfair imposition and should be handled as such whenever possible.

In college I applied for a job @ Cartier. I had to take their ethics test. There were questions like "The janitor takes $100 from the till to buy lifesaving medicine for his child. He repays it the next day. Do you fire him?" I wouldn't & I didn't get the job. Worked @ the Russian Tea Room instead.

I'm happy that Pee-Wee's bike will have a home at the Alamo. I'm less happy about the earworm. No, not what you'd expect ("The stars at night..."). Instead I have "Deep within my heart lies a melody...") 🎶

Spent this week decluttering. Found a video camera that hadn't been used in ~20 years. Sure it was broken/useless, told my daughter to toss it. Better check first if a tape is in it. Might need power to open the door. Plugged it in; it came to life. There was footage of my 2yo & 4yo at The Gates. 🧡

Decluttering, I came upon this New Yorker Talk of the Town piece on Cuomo from 7 November 2022. The dude is ick.
Go away, sex pest.

This prompted a memory of young ina living in New York: I bought a 5'x3' unfinished bookcase somewhere downtown, and took it home to my upper west side apartment on the bus!
I later went back for a second one.

In my ongoing search for more bookcases so books aren't just strewn about the living room, I'm now trying to figure out if it's worth it to go antique hunting for some globe-wernicke barrister bookcases
