Continue readingIt’s Juhi’s birthday on Friday!!!! Wooo-hoooo! I feel like we need to watch something Juhi to acknowledge that. But beyond that, I have no idea.

Continue readingI wrote this post, I don’t know, 4 months ago? 5 months ago? Anyway, it’s interesting to look at and think about how Kamala fits into the history and both is and is not recognized by the Indian American community (I am fascinated that I have seen nothing from the Indian movie stars I follow on social media about her).
Continue readingMy Mother just showed me the poem she has been holding on to, planning to post on the door of our building once the election was over. It’s by an American, E. Ethelbert Miller, and it was published in 1994. Presumably written in 1992 after the election of Clinton.
the day after the national election
the sky cleared and the sun found its guitar.
i ran to the plaza and soon discovered myself
dancing in the middle of a jubilant crowd.
a nation of song, a nation of thousands pushing
like the sea to the cathedral. i found my place

waiting to be born. something more powerful than
victory was in the air. i could breathe again.
my prison door was open. my country was outside.
she had been waiting for me.
Well, America has tentative good news today! I’ve learned not to count on anything over the past 4 years, but I am going to try to let myself be happy. And part of that is sharing my happiness with all of you!

Continue readingI’m back! I did three things yesterday: gave myself a pedicure, hugged the dog, took a nap. So, real productive. And now I got through that day and I just have to get through the next and the next and the next. To help with that, let’s give me something to look forward to! WatchAlong!
Continue readingDon’t panic, I’ll probably be back Thursday. But I am planning ahead for my own mental health and not committing to anything that I may not be able to do.
Continue readingI’m gonna make myself feel better and hopefully you feel better by listing out nice things that will happen. And you can make me feel better and you feel better by listing out nice things you get to do in the near future.
Continue readingFor the past month or so, I have been obsessed with documentaries about cults and I think I finally figured out why. Like I said, random post.
