8 Amazing Jewish NBA Players You Need To Know About
Is basketball the most fun sport to watch? I’d argue that it is — especially this year, if you’re a lifelong Knicks fan.
And basketball? It’s also really Jewish, at least, as far as its roots are concerned. Back in the early 20th century, the sport, which is easy to play without too much of a financial investment (all you really needed to bring with you was a ball), was extremely popular among the Jews of New York (on the Lower East Side, especially).

Fran Mariano on the Summer House Reunion, Off Campus, & Co-Hosting Chicks in the Office
In this episode, I sit down with Fran Mariano, co-host of the hit podcast, Chicks in the Office, to hear her takes on the latest pop culture moments. We dive deep into the Summer House drama, whether the new seasons of Love Island are worth the watch, a debate on Off Campus vs. Heated Rivalry, and why we’re both unashamed romance readers. Fran also talks about her career journey at Barstool, building her show with co-host Ria, and why their sister-like dynamic works so well.

Has anyone been to John C. Reilly’s play, Mister Romantic? It sounds absolutely amazing. The Wild Card interview with him was so good. Made me really want to get a chance to go see him in live action.

What is Going on with My Hormones?
I’m a moody bitch, always have been. Some people ride the chemical rollercoaster as if it’s a steam liner. For me it’s always been more like a horror train. From around the age of 10, my hormones have been an adversary, an evil force which needed to be placated, managed and numbed. My mum went through her whole menstrual lifetime without a period pain. When she went into labour, she was shocked. To me a contraction was painful, obviously. But it wasn’t outside the realms of my prior experience. It felt familiar. My period has woken me up with pain month in and month out.

Building an AI-Ready America: Higher Education in the Age of AI
Last week I had the privilege of testifying before the U.S. House Subcommittee on Higher Education and Workforce Development. What follows is a video of my oral testimony along with the full hearing, as well as my submitted written testimony. I look forward to your thoughts.
As AI has exploded all around us, the analog to the adoption of electricity has become well known.
Early factories replaced steam engines with electric motors but saw little productivity gains because they kept the same organizational designs and processes.

the take home folder vol 120
The last week of school passed in a blur of fun, emotion, community, baseball, and exhaustion. Summer break feels like a drink of icy lemonade on a sweltering day. We are ready! See #5 below for how I’m approaching summer for myself.
What is something I can do for our home?
What is something I can do for/with our family?
What is something I can do for myself?
Today for me it’s cleaning bathrooms (glamorous!), attending a party to celebrate the end of 5th grade for my son and his classmates, and sketching out our first week of summer so I can make a game plan for my time and energy.
We are fort

Open-ended play
The School for Housewives brings you short, practical, and thoughtful messages to inspire you to shake off feminism and make your home. If you’re new here, go to the homepage for the previous Lessons; the categories are arranged in the menu bar at the top.
I saw a post about a beautiful, super aesthetic, totally appealing set-up for outdoor mud-kitchen play. The account encourages providing what children need, letting them engage in open-ended play to form their imaginations.
Without deep, absorbed play, something will be lacking in their development.

Curried Turkey Meatballs
My kid has never been big on animal protein. At the beginning, I used to be able to use ground meat as a hack, since a ball seemed to be an acceptable vehicle for just about anything. But these days that battle has become harder to wage. The right shape isn’t going to cut it.
Generally, I don’t stress about this. You can read more about my beef (har har) with the toddler protein industrial complex here.
