• Walking the walk: I’m easing off of Twitter to Mastodon & micro.blog. mstdn.social/@emsariel I’ll cross-post for a while, but eventually will only be on the federated system that is designed to be resilient to the toxicity that FB & Twitter systemically promote.

  • Best Thing Sun Dec 19: the best thing was that I not only had a pretty good day, but pushed through some anxiety and made room to recognize how good the day was.

  • Best Thing Sat Dec 18: I went down to IC to listen to live music and write some hard emails. After the Irish music ended, there was … more music! Glenn Roth, a great classical guitarist who had my number and played great covers of a bunch of songs I grew up with.

  • So help me, I don’t like a lot of manufactured Christmas Songs, but I love having Holiday playlists on in the background. Give me those misplaced jingle bells, peppy non-specific nostalgia, and personal reflection aimed at gratitude … in the background.

  • Best Thing Fri Nov 26: Alta and I spent time going through old papers our parents had kept - kid drawings, school reports, cards from relatives. I had strong sense-memories of some of them, like I remembered making things from when I was 5, 7, 12. We chatted as we went through things, it was great.

  • Best Thing Thu Nov 25: Pre-prandial woodswalking with Alta and Jonah, followed closely by a nice family meal.

  • Best Thing Mon Nov 22: My sister is one of the best people I know, and I got to spend a bunch of time with her on the train and at the home we grew up in together.

  • This is why we want bike lanes in NYC. They’ve been getting so much better.

  • Since the middle of March, I’ve changed locations 15 times. Mostly between Brooklyn, Schoharie, and Clinton; but still. It’s been exciting to be in one place or the other for a few weeks at a time in Sept & Oct.

  • I just ate a ridiculous dish with my Gosun flatware, and I need to share how great these utensils are for skipping the single-use-plastics. I’ve used them so many times. gosun.co/products/…

  • That’s it! I’m clearly An Old. I am balancing my account and find a receipt with “Hi, My name is Kloey” and my two thoughts were: a) that spelling is Not Okay and b) the capitalization in that sentence is Not Okay. I need to be let out to pasture.

  • This is a wonderful reminder. twitter.com/UrsulaV/s…

  • Hello, world. (Does this mark me by age? In a good way? OMG is this a positive FTUE? *deep_breath This is what it is.) Hello, World.
