The Knicks energy was so positive, it could be felt all the way down the Jersey Shore before game 3, then the World’s Worst Person decided to insert himself into things, bringing a Ghostbusters 2 river of Bad Vibes sludge with him, ruining everything. I hope we get back to the good stuff tonight
The USA is doing sportswashing all wrong. The idea is you do a Russia or a Qatar and welcome everyone in, trying to appear super-cute so that people stop thinking about your appalling human rights violations and corruption. You're not meant to shine a light on it. Stupid country.
I’ve visited ten schools across NJ over the last two weeks. That’s a lot for me. I am physically wiped, but spiritually full. I have one more this afternoon then I’m done for a bit.
This photo may not look like much, but to me it’s amazing. I was at a school this morning where not only have the kids been reading The Hidden Dominion of Geordie James, they’ve each been performing the parts. Those letters next to their names are the initials of the character each kid is playing
I am most often reading in bed with two idiot dogs fighting on top of me while my wife lays two feet away watching Instagram reels (this is maybe why I’m slow to finish books). Aesthetically this is a disaster, but none of it has anything to do with whether my reading is legitimate or not.
The romanticized fantasy of a reader often seems to be about coziness, like, someone curled up somewhere, with their tea, a fire crackling, perhaps near a window while it’s raining out. Maybe an audiobook doesn’t fit this image so well. That has nothing to do with whether it’s “real” reading or not.
