I’m still processing my birth, but I wanted to document it before the details slipped and I started hand-waving it away like a bad dream. In those early weeks, I cried whenever I thought or spoke about it. I wanted so badly to feel differently—to love the way she got here, even if it was difficult. I’m less delicate (and hormonal) about it now, but I still don’t think I’m there yet.

Hello, Had a hard time focusing this week. Not even sure what to say. “Beyond Grievance,” an essay written in 2022 by Jewish Currents editor-in-chief Arielle Angel, reshared by Angel late last year in the wake of the October 7th attacks, then sent to me by a Jewish friend who works at NYU, has been arguing with her extended family for months, and is now witnessing hostility toward protestors every day. This piece floored me—I’ve never seen some of these ideas articulated so well. If you read it, make sure to go all the way through to the end.

I never thought I'd experience so much dread looking at an image of two babies & a crab.

From there, he has to navigate an entirely new dating landscape in New York that calls to mind another breezy show from the same creator (Darren Star),

I know a guy who used to make his living as an eBay reseller. That is, he’d find something on eBay that he thought was underpriced so long as the auction didn’t go above X dollars, buy it, then resell it for more than he paid for it Classic imports-exports, really, a digital junk shop. Eventually he got to the point where, with some items, he didn’t ever have physical possession of them; he had figured out a way to get them directly from whoever he bought an item from to the person he had sold the item to, while still collecting his bit of arbitrage along the way. This buying and selling of items on eBay, looking for deals, was sufficient to be his full-time job and pay for a mortgage. But the last time I saw him, a few years ago, he had gotten an ordinary office job. He told me that it had become too difficult to find value; potential sellers and buyers alike had access to too many tools that could reveal the “real” price of an item, and there was little delta to eke out. He’s not alone. If you

Last fall, my wife Debbie and I got a puppy named Maximus Toretto Blueberry Millman Gay. He is six months old. He weighs 7.5 pounds. He is confident, outgoing, and sweet. He enjoys eating paper, leaves, disgusting trash, and murky street water. He is not interested in food unless you are eating it, and then he is very interested. When Max realizes he is…

Hey everyone, First off, I owe you an explanation. You might have noticed that I’ve not been updating this Substack as frequently over the last few months. It's not because I've run out of things to say about the current state of women’s rights, free speech and comedy! If only! Rather, I've been putting the finishing touches on my memoir, ‘Tough Crowd’.

This Scared Some of the Menfolk

Hello from absent me. Two days after I filed my last essay, on April 10, I fell and injured my writing arm. One minute I was walking quickly in the rain wearing a faculty commencement gown and an old pair of platform sandals. The next minute, I was facedown on the wet pavement, the sleeves of my gown spread like the wings of a fallen goose.
