Last night, my kid discovered how to escape the play pen on his own. We put him to bed five times last night! Who needs a scary movie when suddenly your two-year-old pops up in the dimly lit doorframe, light off, crouching like a gremlin?

Damon Linker’s thoughts on the Israeli massacre model for me a key attitude in issues like this—acknowledging a hard problem as, well, hard (a lovely post by @ablerism I think about at least once a month). The Israel-Palestine issue is complicated; it is hard. God bless them with peace, somehow.

A welcome surprise—a new Brandon Sanderson novel just dropped this morning. 📚 There goes my next few days!

📚 My current book stack. I know I need to pick up fiction soon, but I’m happy with my reading for now!

This gloriously chaotic and quirky organizational tip from The Verge’s Andru Marino made me laugh out loud.

When I need to remember an important meeting, I place a slice of bread in my toaster oven, which is connected to a Wemo smart plug. Then, I ask my Google Assistant to turn on the toaster five minutes before the event. When I smell toast, it reminds me that I have a meeting in a few minutes.

Well, Loki was fun. 📺 By far Marvel’s most visually distinctive show, and the only one that has me replay the end credits for the set design. Excited to see what’s to come.

💬 A quote I meditate on often. Today, I’m thinking of my own, personal limits—mainly my ADHD. There are things I want to do, but I haven’t the attentional capacity to attend to them as vigorously and sincerely as I wish. But I make slow progress, saying no to many other things, and that’s enough.

This brilliant thread on Hebrew names by Ari Lamm is Exhibit 777 why I really want to learn Hebrew. Basically, I’m missing all the puns!

🍿Just watched The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar. Just 40 minutes of delight and whimsy, boxed up in a Wes Anderson-style package of color and magnificent stage direction. Highly recommend!

I had no idea it’s Hobbit Day, but I am definitely adding this to my annual calendar. Any excuse to listen to Howard Shore’s incredible score—or even This Wandering Day, one of my favorite parts of the Rings of Power show—during my work day is something I am always taking up.
