@patrickrhone Hard to imagine the world from NYC and from their eyes, isn’t it? A wonder.

@ReaderJohn I’ve been meaning to shut off NYT email pushes about breaking news but in that case, I was glad for the notice

@jaheppler Just a host of losses lately

@JohnBrady I loved The Maytrees — lmk what you think
Wednesday, September 16, 2026 →
@JohnBrady I think she surpasses WB for me too, honestly? Just because I didn’t quite know what writing could be like until reading her in college.

@mwerickson With you. Suddenly feeling rather mortal in a new way.
@patrickrhone Yes! Planning is a challenge with her two brothers still at home etc. But let’s stay in touch!
@adampalm Very cool — hadn’t seen. Thank you!
@patrickrhone Our daughter also *loves NYC for college life. Kind of incredible to think about all the possibilities.
@ffmike so good

@KyleEssary Yes. Although I realized yesterday, after class was done, that many of them have not been told much at all about that day. I should’ve backed up and recapped the whole story.
@ReaderJohn I saw that this week too. Unreal.
@ayjay It took Brian two years to look at his oral history contribution transcript for corrections. 💔
@JohnBrady a different world in many ways.
@jaheppler I can’t seem to speak about it without crying, and I’m not a frequent tears person.
@ReaderJohn Yes.

@amylouise Wish you could join us! (and excited to hear about your new ventures…).

@bethanyh One of my best teaching moments was reading aloud the dismissive, imperious letters to the editor about this essay in Harper’s, where it first appeared, and then reading Berry’s combined response to the letters, all of which was also published. So good.

@lukemperez I’m sure you do, Luke — so much in the last year. ❤️

@bethanyh @isaacgreene thank you both!

@ffmike Thank you!! (And I don’t need to tell you how messed up the incentive structures in academia are…)
@mjkaul ha, so good
@mjkaul A little bit at a time…
@natematias yessssss!! enjoy!

@bobwertz ha, so good

@jekratz Yes RH! And I will pass that along… :)
Wednesday, September 2, 2026 →
@ayjay Thanks for letting us in on what’s happening, Alan. You all will be on my mind and in my prayers.
Wednesday, September 2, 2026 →
@jekratz Yes!! I should have emailed you once more. I’m glad to say our daughter will be in the last cohort to get the old curriculum — so far so good. Though she’s got the first semester awkwardness blues at the moment… beginnings are hard. And agree on the city. A whole curriculum in itself.

@jabel Oof, that started my day with every feeling.
@kwlblt I am so jealous you get a first time read
@ReaderJohn Yes. I’ve been teaching his work for a while, and I’m really glad to have this more sustained treatment. And agree re both sides, etc.
@ReaderJohn Yes. I am reading his new book. There isn’t a writer or thinker quite like him.
@joshuapsteele I don’t remember it being a hard out! But maybe, ha. I *adore Bryan Cranston — and I think all the time about that scene when he’s just found out about the dx and says: I am—awake—
@ayjay I’ve heard that, but esp glad to hear it from you. I’ve started it a couple of times but gave up. Might be a timing thing.
@ayjay Do I need to have watched Breaking Bad to fully appreciate it?
@lukemperez Thank you so much for this reminder! Sending it to her.
@social.ayjay.org @wcaleb <3 <3 <3
@wcaleb Caleb!! Twins! Mine is also on my office door. Also good for designers and architects. It’ll be like a secret handshake.
@andrewz @mbattles Lovely to see this! I agree that quantification goes some way toward systematization in a limited way, but it makes total sense that it’s more useful as Names for Design Values that run through your own family matrix. Cheers. Great photo.
@tinyroofnail @isaacgreene @manton Seconding the Egginton. Easily one of the most profound texts I’ve read in the last five years.
@mbattles oh man! we have family weekend down in NYC, sad to miss it
@tinyroofnail yessssss
@drwalt ❤️💫
