weekend open thread – April 8-9, 2023

This comment section is open for any non-work-related discussion you’d like to have with other readers, by popular demand.

Book recommendation of the week: Small Admissions, by Amy Poeppel. A grad student whose life is falling apart takes a job as an admissions officer at a private school and chaos and hilarity ensure. Her writing reminds me a lot of Elinor Lipman, who I love.
