Officially studying to get my nyc tourguide license 😬
My dream is to lead extremely wacky tours with names like “Horny 1920s Bonanza” and “Places Notable New Yorkers Probably Cried” & I hope you’ll join me one day
the #1 reason that I have longed to become a New York City tour guide was watching the cruise and if you haven’t done that you must
also lol half the test is knowing about one way streets and as a carless person in the city i am in for a CHALLENGE
my flashcards suggest someone is having a very FANCY day Image
i don't know sir but if you are already a guest at the waldorf i'd say just take your limousine

you cannot deny that olivia going to the white house looks like a promo poster for a 2004 rom com called Heart of State about the first daughter who (whoops!) falls for a hunk who works in the rose garden during his summers off from college and they are star-crossed Image
at first, they hate each other! she's studying to get into georgetown! he rides a motorcycle! she's a priss! he's a rebel! but then, one night, as it turns out, he learns that she is a rebel too. climbing down a trellis? changing into a miniskirt? she does it all.
he's like "let me show you MY dc" and they have a wild night of dancing and going to all night restaurants and then she's like let me show you MY dc and you think she's going to take him to a fancy thing on the hill but really she takes him to...a skate park

on july 6, my favorite room in new york is open again...i'll probably cry when i go back tbh
i used to write in the rose room 3x a week so this last year and a half of not having those ceilings has been acutely felt
also i want to thank all of the archivists at libraries everywhere who have been tirelessly working to send pdfs and pull things remotely for researchers (heroes!) but i truly cannot wait to get my hands on manuscript archives again

i missed it but yesterday was nanci griffith's 68th birthday and i just want to thank her cosmically for getting me through pretty much every long drive and long night i've ever had. here is my favorite of her performances.
her entire live album "one fair summer evening" is the perfect mid-summer record and she is the only person whose stage banter is as good as the songs that comes after it
also i know we talk a lot about how the music press was deranged when it came to women in the 1990s but this is truly one of the most deranged profiles of all time and nanci deserved better texasmonthly.com/articles/you-c…

in this week's @NewYorker i wrote about deadlines and anxiety and time voyeurism and how nobody is ever really #crushingit newyorker.com/magazine/2021/…
with a nod to lisa cohen's "all we know," still one of my favorite books ever about women and time (you can read it here!: bookshop.org/books/all-we-k…)
me reading one of those "how i do it" columns Image

literally show me a better person than shelley winters
when shelley is like "what is with all the youth worship" and mel is like "well juliet was 13 and romeo was 14" and then shelley yells "EVERYBODY DIED AT 30 IN THOSE DAYS"

i simply love her
that she showed up to late night with a broken foot because she'd spent the day in the ER because she tripped over a cord finding a dress to wear...

the fact that she keeps saying "i don't know how the book is 500 pages, i'm only 30!" (she was 61)
