Ugh. The world of publishing can be a minefield.

Hence why some texts books cost just shy of 700L…

And here I thought this was an advance. Wow!

But for the fact Aunt Molly Babad couldn’t join us the Babad-Mulroney-James-Loucks gang had a wonderful time this weekend. This shot of Uncle Jake with nephew Isaac sums up the vibe. That, and it makes Aunt @CharlotteBabad jealous that she didn’t capture the moment.

Sharing this again, this time with three grandchildren. The sense of loss remains.

Tuned in briefly to the Charlie Kirk funeral but got distracted and texted my kids to ask why we didn’t have fireworks at their dad’s memorial service…

Amused at Alberta’s kerfuffle over books. Many of those that were to be banned were on reading lists at my all-girls Catholic convent school in the 1970s. Somehow we survived—and my parents didn’t bat an eye. Bring on The Diviners!

The mature mother in me says to @realDonaldTrump : let’s talk about tariffs. The teenaged version of me, who defied the nuns’ “no nail polish with your uniform” rule says: “Bite me.”
Come back when you’re serious.

And what are you doing for fun this summer, Catherine?

Oh, dear God in heaven…

Charlotte Babad and I see Paul Simon this week. Haven’t been this excited since… um…Swan Lake? Raffi?
The child’s been warned: I will cry.

I am the proud mother of a #Harvard international grad who is now making a difference in the U. S.. Jewish, to boot. The United States has truly lost its way.

We wouldn’t need a #goldendome if we didn’t live on top of a hawks’ nest! This Canadian says no. @MarkJCarney @realDonaldTrump #Peacemaker #Peacenow

That we live in a world where people can be heartless about a man’s cancer diagnosis should tell you how far American society has fallen.

Missing my mother and father tonight. It would be a fascinating conversation.
Missing Mike, too, but he’d have been bent over his laptop, tinkering with headlines…

Just bought Neil Young tickets. Cue the Bic lighters!

World’s proudest mother. My son Jake is now co-owner of Westwood Creative Artists. Particularly meaningful for me because Mike and I were represented first by the Lucinda Vardey Agency, which became part of Westwood. Circle complete.

I know where I’ll be next Monday!

Hey, @marcorubio and @howardlutnick : how about consulting us on whether statehood interests Canadians? Or are you not asking because you know the answer? #CanadaUSTradeWar #strongandfree #never51

Did @pierrepoilievremp.bsky.social offer @markjcarney.bsky.social congratulations? If so I missed it.

I’ve shipped some to my daughter who works in New York.

Jean Chrétien may just be the GOAT…

Mike Babad is gone five years today. The world is a lonelier, scarier place without him but a lifetime together left me with some strong coping mechanisms… Miss you always, Babad.

The sole rescue option is unspeakable.

Are Americans too proud to admit they are witnessing a coup— or are they too afraid? @realDonaldTrump #DonaldJTrump #CanadaStrong #CanadaUSTradeWar

My mental health survival plan? Tickets to Swan Lake, Paul Simon, and @Raffi_RC with my grandson!!!!

Thank you, #Vermont!

Volodymyr Zelensky's Oval Office visit ended early when Donald Trump and JD Vance began angrily yelling at him. Here's why women like Kamala Harris and Hillary Clinton are too emotional to be president.

Nightmarish!
