This week, I discovered there will be a season 2 of The Queen’s Gambit, and I immediately sent a text to my dad! We both have watched & rewatched this show. I think I will invite him over for a watch party! https://youtu.be/EIcevnbEcYg?si=aUfyAwYc7RsWOPMF

Nice! Thanks for sharing this!

Congratulations! 📖👏🏻

I “care about transcripts” — me as well — I’m not picky— yes, keep it the same kind!

“Zadie Smith, plunked glamorously into the pages of British Vogue to discuss her forthcoming novel, “The Fraud.” She is photographed by Tyler Mitchell, the 28-year-old who skyrocketed to fame after becoming the first Black photographer to shoot a cover of Vogue, of Beyoncé, in 2018. Smith, 47, is dressed in the splendor of some of the most compelling and frisky designer brands, like a sculptural gold Alexander McQueen necklace, and an enormous froth of Alaia, the storied sexy-cerebral French brand overseen by Pieter Mulier, with a pair of Tabi boots by Maison Margiela, which are to the art world what Allbirds are to tech: a delightfully hideous uniform of belonging. Smith gives the camera a confident, knowing gaze, as if to say: This glamour stuff, it’s pretty fun.”

I hear great things about Amethyst! I have an iPhone so I can’t try that client yet. Thanks for the suggestions!

thanks!

I sent you replies using the Coracle Client— not sure they came over to this relay (I’m using Damus now) — but just making sure to say thank you again— I am in the process of researching the right wallet for me!

#booktalk I’m always so grateful when out of town events still offer virtual options.

“Award-winning author Helen Garner makes a rare US appearance upon the reissue of two of her masterworks — The Children’s Bach and The House of Grief — in conversation with The New Yorker’s Merve Emre. “Helen Garner has written two of the greatest novels of the twentieth-century, Monkey Grip and The Children’s Bach,” Emre writes. “In both her fiction and non-fiction, her writing is startling and startlingly precise, intelligent, and unafraid to look directly at the darkness that hides in the world and in all of us.” Long considered one of the greatest novelists Australia has ever produced — and an important influence on a generation of American writers like Lauren Groff, Ben Lerner, Rumaan Alam, and others — the publication of her early novels in the US is a major event. Hear her and Emre in a candid discussion on her magnificent writing — the arc of a commanding, profoundly moving, and important body of work coming into full focus for the first time.

Very true.

morning ❤️

At my school, the kids are allowed to bring birthday treats— everyday it seems like, they stop by my room (very sweet to include me because I’m not a classroom teacher) to share something sugary! I tell myself: portions! 🤣

It’s a really good exhibit— some things specifically related to the pittsburgh area such as the demolition of the Braddock Hospital. But back to your comment— I also thought the title was intriguing. In my late 20’s & early 30’s I used to write poetry that included “dark matter” in the subject—fascinating & yes— scary topic when you think about the universe expanding. I submitted the poem to a literary journal but it was rejected 🤣

Ok— reading time! Logging off to focus ✨#Bookstr *Desire In Language* by Julia Kristeva #summerjoy ✨ https://nostr.build/av/a1ac09cb25f934ce1d8c6ec9f34399a7753ca95450e25cee827245643c6d6d28.mov
