I am drowning in ephemera and art supplies. And I have a lot of free time lately. So, I decided to open up an Etsy shop: fluffbucketfinds.etsy.com

Joyce Carol Oates was born the day (16th June 1938) anti-Jewish violence erupted in Berlin, marking a significant escalation in Nazi Germany's persecution of Jewish citizens.

The worst thing about Zohran Mamdani is the fact that my Desi parents are now going to ask me why I’m not the mayor of anything despite being the same age. 🤦♂️

Excellent explainer of Justice Jackson’s move late today re: SNAP.
Trying to figure out what #SCOTUS just did with #SNAP, and why Justice Jackson temporarily froze the district court's ruling?

Second iced adeni chai (or Yemeni chai, depending on the coffee place) of the week. Caffeine leaves me slightly crampy these days, but I needed this. Thank you, MOTW Coffee & Pastries in Lombard, Illinois.
