@emollick for context, at the time of the donation the magazine was almost 100 years old, had a staff of 4, and an annual budget of <$800K.

@emollick Poetry Mag was a very modest org when the $100M grant was given by Ruth Lily. The NYT got this quote: "It seems like an eccentric amount of money," says Billy Collins, the former U.S. poet laureate and a longtime contributor. "It's like leaving a fortune to your goldfish."

A DOZEN steps to kit this year’s Spring project, Path to Passover. It’s a linen map of the steps of the Seder and a cool mini-matzah token to track the evening’s progress. LIMITED EDITION of 100, less than 20 left.

@NekoMichiUBC hand modeling 🧑‍🍳🤌

[eric antonow @ericantonow]

Hand rotation 10/10. Tremendous.

[Michi @NekoMichiUBC]

100% plastic and glass.
Needs no charging.
Requires no software updates or dongles.
Will last a few weeks until the novelty wears off.
Same size + weight as the iPhone.
It's a $10 store display model that can do everything a Methaphone can do for a fraction of the cost.

[eric antonow @ericantonow]

@benblumenrose Love the enthusiasm for this. I will ship a free Aluminum Methaphone 2 to the best comment (as judged by the most likes). This comment obvs excluded. @grex
