Ok but why does everything about this sound so insufferable.
“Prompt parties,” gatherings of women over cheese and wine to chat about how ChatGPT can help them, are emerging as the next-generation of Tupperware party in San Francisco.

We cried about this today. I was in a make up chair crying on the phone with my partner. The cruelty.
They mean to be as insulting to Black people, as dismissive of our lives, as resistance to our status as full citizens in this country as they can be.

There is no common ground to be had at the expense of our sisters & daughters’ lives and our dignity as a people.

I don't have much to say lately. Words have been evading me for a while now. Been thinking of soft places to land. I hope you have this — a soft, safe place to land. 🌱🪶

The news has been so heavy these day and I've been on autopilot mode and have been immersed in things and today, was reminded to pull back a bit and quieten myself for a hot minute.

Pleased to announce that Kat has won the nobel prize for napping. Pictured here in my mother's sewing basket, she has rigourously leaned into this rainy weather and determinedly continues her life of indolence, leisure and rest. An inspiration to us all.

Made a coffee and chocolate banana bread which rapidly vanished like this 4-day weekend.

Reads for September. My reading has really picked up in the last months. Here's hoping it continues. Been carving out regular reading time — something I had started during the lockdowns but since stopped.

I don't understand this country. A press briefing and article for a cracked egg. Not a metaphor or obscure language. An actual cracked egg.
