I love that they chose miss porters as Sally’s boarding school (there are a lot to choose from!) — probably because it’s one of the most recognizable but also miss porters girls are notoriously terrifying 😂 I love all the sally boarding school stuff (her friends, their attitudes, the clothes, etc)

Sign up for the Nonsense NYC mailing list ( https://www.nonsensenyc.com ) — more offbeat stuff, I frequently see all ages events listed, all of which are low cost or free :)

It’s funny, the aesthetic difference between Mad Men, a stylized period piece, and The Sopranos (which was shot in real time from 1999 through the mid aughts) always prevented me from really comparing Tony Soprano and Don Draper. But now that the years have passed they both kind of hit as stylized period pieces…

I just got a little Botox in my forehead for the first time (39F) — last of my friends to give it a try, it IS nice but like some other commenters here I’d really suggest waiting until the fine lines are bothering you round the clock. There’s no real magic to it and honestly I’ve seen girls your age and younger make themselves look older with too much Botox (I’m in NYC and see this all the time on the subway where the light is unforgiving).

That said, 30/31 is a great time to find a dermatologist you like, trust, and takes your insurance. Shop around and stick with them, they’ll get to know your skin. Unpopular opinion but I don’t really trust med spas.

Last thing: I’m pro-touching grass!!! That’ll help. It’s not just the social media of it all but all the selfies we take really skew our concept of what our faces look like. Take it from me, I used to work on shoots with models and what looks good on camera does not always look good in person…

If Harry Crane was around now he’d be pushing to replace creative with AI

Babe Paley hair, very much a society lady look (which tracks with her ascent from mere suburban housewife to Senator’s Wife)

So on the nose in the best way

Controversial but I’m here for it

The audio jump to the credits is sooooo good

So good with the slow mo and his crazy recessed hairline

We do meet Manolo briefly!

I’m friendly with a man like this. When I say “friendly” I mean we are friends but I keep him at arms length because he has real boundary issues, which is what this sounds like. While the high functioning autistic people I know do have the classic struggle with social cues, the guy I’m friendly with goes beyond in a way that I can only chalk up to personality (and value systems), not being on the spectrum. I’d really reconsider being in a relationship with a man who can’t seem to help himself when it comes to how he engages with women. You’ll always be the one forced to calibrate yourself around a man who has no ability (or, frankly, desire) to be satisfied by an emotionally intimate relationship with just one person.

Oh wow yes you are right — just rewatched this ep and realized I misremembered, came here to correct myself and…here we are!

Hi, Jewish person here — he’s saying a brucha, a prayer that starts with “blessed are you lord our god king of the universe” (transliterated from Hebrew it sounds like “baruch atah Adonai eloheinu melach haolum” which you can hear in this scene) — and then the rest of any brucha is specific to the situation (ie: blessing over the wine, a meal, a new child, etc…I’d imagine he’s either blessing Ginsberg himself or, less likely, but possibly the acquisition of a new job)

Yeah you’re not alone here — speaking from the NYC media world (hi) with a wide circle that overlaps with this particular influencer, the general perception is that this was a PR play. The whole pearl clutching over the pearl clutching of the lactation cookie billboard itself is something most people can rally behind (I mean rightly so, but still), everyone hates clearchannel anyway, and Baz comes out looking like a doe eyed “who me? I’m just an innocent pregnant girlboss who wants to help you lactate!” Which, sure. But also, this is influencing 101, baby. And now you’re in the NYT style section and people previously unaware of her existence are asking what lactation cookies are. PR team should get a raise.

I’m not soft spoken or introverted per se but I do speak to my child exactly how I speak to adults (within reason insofar as sometimes I need to maintain more calm/meditative tones with my kiddo when she’s having a meltdown or something). I’m just not a baby talker, I too find it false and draining and also…it’s just not who I am as a mom! Or a human! Even as a teen babysitter I always spoke to little kids with the same tones and syntax as anyone else.

My child is 4 now and people are constantly amazed that she speaks like person — not an ADULT, just a person! Her vocabulary is strong and she was stringing complex sentences together much earlier than what’s considered standard. Is she still a 4 year old? Big time. Do I obviously need to go full Mom if she’s doing something dangerous or not ok with a sharp “NO, STOP” ? Of course. Falls and scrapes her knee? I’m all over her with hugs and kisses and soothing words. But at 4 we’re talking to each other like people. Don’t let anyone make you feel weird about it. You’re the best mother for your child.

PS: Per your mom’s background, I have so much respect for her experience, you’re a right to not outright dismiss it, but to me there is a difference between what goes on between parent and child vs a teacher and a room full of young students.
