Reasons my dog, Soup, cried this morning:
- she had a really special treat to chew (a bully stick)
- a squirrel was on our lawn

Tonight I went to Irish Rover to watch the Knicks and consoled myself with a lovely salad at a fancy restaurant and knit for a while on a rooftop in Astoria as the sun set over Manhattan

Soup is new to going places in public and it’s good that there’s a mural at the Gastropark of aspirational dog personalities for her to look up to

Very grateful to have caught the “mater et materia: maternal experience and embodied motherhood in Latin literature” panel today at #aiascs. A lot of big takeaways about the body of the mother as figured in ancient literature.
