@SoundCloud I need urgent help - I lost the ability to access my original soundcloud account (semochka). Password reset isn't working. I filed a ticket but need someone to assist ASAP. Could someone please get in touch?

Southern Brooklyn memoirs, continued. My latest for @tabletmag!

To Ukraine With Love: As the daughter of Soviet Jewish immigrants, I used to call myself ‘Russian’—but a trip to Kyiv offered me a new perspective, and a new language https://t.co/xRcuun1XS7

@elivalley Amazing work. I'd never heard of Lola but want to learn more -- alas, there's little information online. Any tips where I can see his cartoons/read his bio?

@lautarmd happy birthday

@nationalgridus We have no gas for a week (NYC). Had a scheduled appt this am. Guy showed up earlier than expected, and while we were calling the super to come meet him, he left without telling us. Now customer service says we have to wait another week. WE NEED GAS. Please help!

Shkoyekh to @samshokin, who does a lovely job of unpacking the fraught journey to reclaiming Yiddish, especially for folks in the post-Soviet diaspora (With a nice shout out to my Haaretz neo-Bundism piece)
