Today I watched "Mississippi Masala" for the first time in years, and now that I know who @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's mom is, the movie suddenly was recentered around the house where he grew up, his older half-sister in the movie, and the thanks to his dad in the credits. 😁

Earlier today, I came down the stairs, annoyed at my SO for something inconsequential, but then what should I see playing on TV? The episode of "Cash Cab" I was on was playing on Game Show Network (filmed in 2011). Mood immediately lifted as I went back in time...

I love that I can expound upon the hierarchy of desirability in baseball card brands from when I was a kid to my middle-aged SO and he automatically knows what I'm talking about. For the record, Topps < Donruss < Fleer, but my top choice was Donruss. Especially the rookie cards.

Extremely proud to have a mayor who will take a second to defend innocent trans people even in this awful moment. A powerful contrast with the many moderate Democrats who abandoned trans people simply because they lost an election. Don't let the gun nuts scapegoat any minority; it's the guns.
