Enjoyed Pachinko by Min Jin Lee & learned about a brand of Japanese racism toward Koreans that I didn't know about. Book on the longer side & still wanted more time with the generations of characters, stories not for a faint heart-so good. Oh, Sunja😪 #amreading #WritingCommunity

Last night, man at a dinner table next to us talked the entire time & whenever his companion tried to speak/ask, he'd raise his voice to keep talking. Charles Bukowski said "there're things far worse than being alone" & you shouldn't permit anyone to treat you as their vomit bag.

Reading Another Country by James Baldwin & struck by how many "unmentionable" themes he's taking on in 1962, e.g., interracial relationships well before Loving v. Virginia became a reality. #amreading #WritingCommunity

This Mexican American woman hit 3 out of the 4 Indian women, calling them "curry ass bitches" & asking why they've come from India to her country because she was born here, unlike them.

Squealed after seeing Katherine Mansfield, a favorite, in the new @Zoetrope_Mag. And the amazing Yiyun Li here too 😍💚💛, among others. Plus the art! Definitely get it! PS: If you've not read Miss Brill by Mansfield, go read it now 😥 #WritingCommunity instagram.com/reel/Chz6OhsAR…

Serena Williams hasn't even entered yet and I'm already crying

She, her, queen!!!!! And almost 41.

Serena's second set--watching by myself at home, and so worked up, talking back to the commentators on TV screen, clapping so wildly that cat ran away, and I don't know if I'm crying or energetically cheering. A mess of a fan!

Serena Williams: powerful, brilliant, bold, unpredictable, fierce, beautiful hitter, screamer, the greatest! How will continue to watch tennis without my favorite player? 🥺😥😢😭😭😭 Thank you, Serena!

The cat is going wild after hearing another language that I've never spoken in front of him before. Our pets, and animals in general I think, understand us more than we realize and recognize.

Walked by this townhouse and couldn't decide if the inhabitants of the third floor were making a statement on abortion rights by the hanger displayed in the left window. Stopped a passing couple and asked their opinion. They said they didn't think it was a comment on #RoeVWade

Apocalypse now in #NYC. It's gone from a bluish cast in the morning to a gold/yellow now that's sinister. My eyes are burning and breathing a lot worse, like someone pushing down my chest and neck. #CanadianWildfires

When the "editor" says, Throw it all out! 😆🤣

Is this what you think of, when you buy organic, certified humane milk from Whole Foods Market? If not, then you have been lied to. From Annie Lowrey's important piece in The Atlantic today.
