Last week it was the Whitney, this week it's the Brooklyn Museum. Employees there are moving to form a union that will represent full- and part-time workers. The Brooklyn Museum says it is “committed to a cooperative, fair and respectful process.” nytimes.com/2021/05/25/arts/…

*waving!* This is for a shrimp cocktail. Crushed ice in the big bowl, nestle the other on top! I think it’s by Princess House?

aha!!! We were hypothesizing ice in the big bowl for custard/ice cream in the little bowl. We used them for chocolate martinis. Hope you're all doing as well as can be - missed your good cheer this season!

It's that every three year big staff turnover! Plus when six lines are ringing at once and you've heard enough names and numbers you don't even know your own.

THIS THREAD encapsulates so many of my feelings about Terry Pratchett and Discworld so beautifully.

Okay, look, this is why I am so upset by #TheWatch adaptation. I think I read my first #Discworld book a couple of decades ago, as a young teenager. I'd never read anything like it in my life. After that I went to the library every week & meticulously hunted for them, over years.

I am so unbelievably excited today. A momentous step towards positive change at the MFA.

Today, the National Labor Relations Board will receive the paperwork for the MFA Union. Colleagues from across departments are joining in solidarity for an amazing museum we believe has the power & potential to do great things. We are excited to share this next step with you!
A square image with the phrase “We filed!” displayed above the MFA Union logo. The union logo is a circle with “MFA UNION” written in large font followed by “UAW LOCAL 2110”. Beneath the logo is #mfaunion and the union’s tagline “A Museum For All”.

I’m fortunate to still have some friends in the book business, including @EuropaEditions. Thanks for this excellent book mail. So far? What I’ve read in #TheLyingLifeOfAdults from #ElenaFerrante is painful & powerful.

I think.... I think table 3. Of I absolutely had to choose and not just table hop.

It was a super cute slow burn!
My friends and I are starting a “Dumb Smut Bookclub” where we only read the most BANANAS romance books. Like “Merlin was an alien who turned King Arthur into a vampire.” Obviously celebrating the genre but laughing at the bonkers plots. Any suggestions to add to the list?
