It ain’t what you think it is or what Madison Ave needs it to be to fit the theme. It ain’t silent night. It’s a wake up call 💙

Looking forward to campaigning for Jennifer McClellan for Congress! Huge congrats to her whole team, including her Alexandria supporters who worked to pull her through, and everyone else who campaigned so hard for their candidates! Kudos to the 4th CD Dem Committee and DPVA for pulling off a firehouse primary under unnecessarily ridiculous circumstances crested by the governor. https://www.npr.org/2022/12/22/1145036775/virginia-first-black-woman-congress-expected-jennifer-mcclellan

Can we talk about The Leftovers? I found the first two seasons so disturbing, it haunted me almost 24/7, but I couldn’t stop watching. I was enthralled. And the last season made it all worth it—it was absolutely remarkable. I’m sure it’s perfect in some technical way I don’t have the skill set to pinpoint. And the cast—holy crap, the cast.

On the one hand, it was nice to light the community hanukkiah with neighbors on the first night of Hanukkah. Helps quell the rage/exhaustion/toddler-level fit I want to throw over todays NYT crossword I hold in the other.

Stumbled upon an actual FM radio station that played these songs in succession, and exploded my heart: Tiffany/I Think We’re Alone Now, Billy Joel/Piano Man, Young MC/Bust A Move, WHAM!/Careless Whisper. Guess my age.
