Meet Cactus, the baby squirrel who doesn’t yet know it should fear bigger animals, and who tried very hard to come into my house yesterday.

Today I brought Cactus an apple and they are very protective of it.

In case I gotta go, here’s a video of Cactus snatching apple from yesterday evening. Our weird friendship is still going strong. They’re already getting so big!

Sometimes I will schlep gear to or from NPR West so my fellow east siders can grab or return it at my house instead of driving to Culver City. Usually there’s also a produce swap. Sometimes people bring me citrus, sometimes I make them take lettuce. You never know.

I am very jealous of our public radio friends down the street? I think?

I’ve become @rebeccalramirez’s Emotional Support Colleague. She’ll bring her laptop in and work from the comfy chair or (pictured) lay on the floor for a few. We don’t necessarily talk, it’s just the proximity. Take care of each other however you need, I guess is what I’m saying.

One of our resident bakers, @NPRPatrick, made shokupan, or Japanese milk bread. It is so so so good and delicious and comforting.

Twinning yesterday with NPR (West) legends/faves/icons @Radioactive22 & @karenbates in our NPR West sweatshirts. I’m the new kid in the bunch, having been here a mere (almost) 16 years. ❤️🖤💙

Update! This airs today! Or aired today. Depending where you are.
‘Chang Can Dunk’ director Jingyi Shao doesn’t tweet, BUT! You can hear his interview with @ailsachang on @npratc later this week (with the caveat that news is gonna news & it might get moved). Someone please let him know I posted this.

I’m not saying it’s good luck to come by NPR West in the run up to the Oscars, but I’m not not saying that. Congratulations, Ke Huy Quan!!

Thursday is our most social day at NPR West and today the kitchen table has 3 kinds of tamales, donuts, and @jackcorrbit brought HOMEMADE sourdough bagels. West Coast Best Coast, indeed!

For a couple minutes every morning this time of year, the sun hits one of the skylights just right and this is how my day starts.
