Lovely @Lloyd_Cole concert last night. Many songs that were the main soundtrack from end of high school and college in the early 90s. I could never have imagined then that I’d hear him live all these years later in Paris with my 12-yr old son. Magic!

I love the springtime here! Birds chirping away… amazing way to wake up on Saturday morning after a long city week

I am 100% for the right to strike... but now with a kid in French public middle school, I am just SO OVER the endless absences... I wish there were a compromise where the kids could have a good routine. The school is just amazing but he almost never has a full day :(

OK NY Times, surely I can’t be the only person to have no idea if this animal is a raccoon or a dog. I clicked just to find out! And yet… still don’t know nytimes.com/2023/03/16/scien…

I just had the most French of French experiences voting for the parent representatives of 3 associations for the public middle school. No actual voting or choosing, lots of putting papers in envelopes inside other envelopes, 15+ minutes of deciphering the rules.

I would like to be able to watch HBO while living in France without using some shady extra-sneaky VPN blocking thing. Just want to sign up and watch. Why is this not possible?

At the middle school at 9:00 am on a Saturday for the parents meeting. I feel like it’s high school and I’m going for the SATs

Such brilliance from @Swistle "it does not seem to be sinking in that MY PLANS DO NOT COME LAST TO EVERYONE ELSE’S PLANS. Really, it must be absolutely incredible to be socialized male in this society—like having constant low level of cocaine or something."

I wish powerpoint made it easy to set the proofing language for an entire document in one fell swoop. Highlighting each text box is GETTING OLD. Is there a way to do this? Don't need design ideas, just want to speak different things on different days.

Shout out to Just BeClaws in Jersey City! My new favorite line from my new favorite episode of my always favorite podcast @deathsexmoney @NiecyNash

OF COURSE a woman's right to choose. But don't lots of men also not want to be forced into parenthood? Last I checked, the men are there for the unplanned babymaking too! What kind of crazy society doesn't let people choose when to be parents.

I really enjoyed @replyall. I’ve listened to almost every episode since it started with Gimlet. It has been a pleasure and I’ll miss it 🙏@AGoldmund @PhiaBennin @newsmanual

Left coalition called la Nupes, and apparently you can pronounce it Nupe, Nupsse, or Nupèsse. Even for a country with a love affair for acronyms, this one is odd.

a voté. Un peu tard, mais c’est fait! 🗳

I can't stop thinking about all those kids, the teachers, their parents, families. And why there isn't just total complete 100% obvious agreement on the need to start passing laws that put DROPS IN THE BUCKET to stop such a thing happening again.

Impossible de trouver un rendez-vous à Paris pour renouveler un passeport! J’ai besoin de #vitemadose version #vitemonpasseport s’il te plaît @GuillaumeRozier 🙏😀
