What’s XYZ? Is it as easy to prepare as to acquire? Agree this is unclear, and I would tend to read it as (A)—hard to argue the language establishes a duty.

I couldn’t help but wonder: Did he get $4/word like Carrie Bradshaw? Is Enid Frick his editor? Do lucky freelancers still get to tour the VOGUE accessories closet? #IYKYK

Anyone watching Land of Women on AppleTV+? I’m one episode in & it definitely has the feel of a Ramón Campos series (which it is & I love).

Just this afternoon, I was thinking: “Maybe I should make an effort to be more engaged On Here. It would be nice to discuss books & current events.” Then tonight I see the barf bowl discourse.

This line in her essay: “Many influential people came to know something of my story yet continued to support, and add to, a narrative they knew was false. It seemed as if no one believed the truth should ever be told, that it never would be told, certainly not on a scale that matched the lie.”

This line made me do a double-take: “a network of people who also adhere to the so-called Establishment Clause of the U.S. Constitution.” Would that be … <checks notes> Americans who follow the Constitution?

I don’t know if I “count” as a non-practicing attorney, but I did not take a State Con Law course, Con Law didn’t cover it, and I really wish I had had the chance to take a course like that! (We do offer one at OSU.)

I did not grow up with this fear but had a roommate once who did—when we moved in her mom carved the words “NO MEAT” into one cutting board and “MEAT” into the other cutting board. I still think of that every time I use a plastic cutting board.

I’m worried the GAP sundress I ordered won’t arrive in time for me to wear it to the Sarah MacLachlan concert. Is it 2024 or 1997? 😂

Last but not least, my great-aunt’s spritz cookies. I’ve missed the taste so much since she passed, and so I learned to make them from her recipe. (Not pictured: all the dishes from making three kinds of cookies in eight hours.)

The way Margaret, Beth and I have done it is the loser sends the winner something from the loser’s home state. Thus, I sent them Jeni’s.
