For the fifth blessed year in a row, while I'm deeply invested in the outcome of an Election Day... it hits so different when you're not literally working for campaigns.
If you've not voted already, please get your ass out and do it.
And much love to my fellow early and mail voters.

My 78 year-old mother was thrilled to cast her first vote in California this afternoon to tell Donald Trump to get fucked.
Californians, PLEASE Vote Yes on 50.
Also, early voting and poll workers rule.

Dublin is amazing, but even I am going to balk at potato gelato. @darthbluesky.bsky.social were you aware of this?!

For today’s lesson in sensitivity: Rando American old dude came up to me in the Irish National Gallery to mansplain Caravaggio.
Can’t imagine how much it must suck to deal with that on the regular.

after becoming a fan of Bath Rugby when i first started playing 30 years ago, finally got to see them in person! felt a bit weird to be an away match, but The Stoop and the Quins fans were A+!

i need bagel-knowers to weigh in on “Beigel Bake” (or its competitor 2 doors down “Beigel Shop”) in Shoreditch, London. Tbh, it was A LOT better than I expected from the looks of it. Chewiest crust I’ve ever had, but the inside was sweeter and a bit fluffier than I like. Still, quite good!
