I've lived here for more than 16 years, but I've never felt more like I belong here. NYC has never felt more like home.

This feels like the night that we stepped into the future.

Honestly, NYC couldn't have planned a better send-off for Dick Cheney than this.

That feeling when you have to reject a guy a second time because he wouldn't take no for an answer the first time.

Anyone who's posting nonstop about how Charlie Kirk deserves human dignity while remaining silent about Gaza, about Melissa Hortman, about the shooting the same day at Evergreen High School, is only showing us who they don't think deserves human dignity.

Trump's decree that I make these two blankets I'm crocheting smaller.

Today, going through airport security, I accidentally put my paper notebook of similar size and color in the tray instead of my Kindle as instructed. No one said a word, and they let me through without batting an eye.

Someone on my train today was selling copies of their self-published time travel novel, which I have to admit must be the most novel subway solicitation I’ve come across.

I know this is small potatoes in the overall context of our collapsing economy, but I was startled to see that postage stamps will soon cost 78 cents. That's, like, 30 cents more than the last time I thought about the price of stamps. (Still using leftover forever stamps from our 2017 wedding...)

Proud to share that yesterday, April 8, I put away all my Christmas decorations for the year.

What an exciting day in America! We're all* so proud that our longest Senate floor speech record is no longer held by a white supremacist and sexual predator protesting civil rights!

Things have gotten so dire that I, someone who does not remember the last time I was in a movie theater, have actually purchased tickets to see The Encampments this weekend.

The people running our government are shamelessly defending leaking a law-breaking group chat about a sensitive military operation, so maybe the rest of us can give up cringing with mortification over that one time we were so awkward that most likely no one else remembers or ever thinks about.

A bird just pooped on me for the second time in a week. After a lifetime of never being pooped on by birds, this feels like a very unfortunate moment in history for my luck on this issue to tern.
Over the span of 28 hours this weekend, a bird pooped on one of my arms, and I burned my other arm on the oven door, so you can go ahead and pat yourself on the back for your superior arm-caretaking skills.

I walked through Central Park this afternoon to savor the start of spring, and not only did I see my first daffodil of the season — my first thousand daffodils of the season — but I unexpectedly happened across a single cherry blossom tree already in bloom beside the Great Lawn.

My mom always says the reason I can’t carry a tune is because I wasn’t exposed to music enough in my early childhood, and it only occurred to me yesterday that maybe I experience music the way people experience a second language learned too late in life to achieve native fluency.

More and more, I've come to the belief that most of life's happiness is in the smallest, most mundane moments of everyday pleasure. Splashing cold water on my face, imagining it's fresh from a mountain stream. Making tea using my favorite mug and my favorite spoon. The feel of sunshine on my skin.

Yesterday, I attended my first event with NYC Nature Drawing Club at Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Drawn by the siren call of a profusion of crocuses, I sat outside on an overcast mid-40s afternoon, painting until my fingers grew stiff from the cold, before retreating to the warmth of the conservatory.

I started crocheting one year ago today. Last week, I finished the cardigan I’ve been working on all winter, the first garment I’ve ever made for myself, complete with a matching miniature for my hot water bottle cat.

Every day, I swing wildly between trying my best to ignore everything happening in the world and wondering how everyone else can possibly ignore everything happening in the world.

I can't believe that I, a nobody, have to explain to the Minority Leader of the U.S. Senate that if Trump actually wants a bill to fail, he has a literal chamber full of Republican Senators who will happily vote however he wants them to vote.
