Haven’t written in months, am absolutely not a morning person, and yesterday I really thought I wouldn’t be able to do #1000wordsofsummer this year. But then I read @jamiattenberg’s note and got the first 1000 words down before 9am 🎉
About to hear a song from Smash performed on a Broadway stage whatever happens from this point forward no one can ever take that away from me!!!!!!!!!!
Breaking News: The Justice Department has opened an antitrust investigation into the owner of Ticketmaster, whose sale of Taylor Swift tickets descended into chaos this week, focused on whether Live Nation has abused its power over the live music industry. https://t.co/bNAWGXhYyU
At this stage I really need @taylorswift13 to create her own music festival (a fest-TAY-val, if you will). You get a bunch of brilliant artists (Olivia Rodrigo, Ed Sheeran, HAIM, Selena??) to join, throw in Aviation Gin as a sponsor, and you’ve got yourself a party ✨ #maniFEST
Unfortunately the best way to get me to do something has always been to frame it as any sort of challenge. Day 3 of 1000 words a day let’s go #mini1000
@cassmannes@nypl I absolutely LOVE the conversation with Louise Glück about getting through periods of not being able to write anything (hello, past few weeks/months/years? 👋🏼)

It’s a running joke at every job I’ve ever had that I’m an *excessive* notetaker, and I kept being so bowled over by this panel that I could barely write down their responses. #DVcon2022 kicking things off on a Saturday morning ☀️
“Who gets to determine what’s universal?” I MEAN
I wrote a piece for @HuffPost about the years I went by “Risa,” how ashamed I was to tell my mom and obaachan, and the painful repercussions of internalized jokes. Thanks to @msemilymccombs for giving me the space to share this #StopAsianHate#StopAAPIHate https://t.co/uFVoVegsNN
