My mom is in town so we went to a poetry reading Monday of a former professor coworker of hers at a Russian communism themed bar. The whole experience was lovely, though I remembered I cannot focus at poetry readings for shit. One of the other poets reading had an LL Bean tote monogrammed with “Suffering” in a cursive font and I need it now.

Afterward we went to a restaurant in Ukrainian village and ate truly the blandest white people food (no offense to my fellow white people Ukrainians). There was a large room in the back where people were dancing (ballroom maybe?) so as we ate people kept coming in to dance. It felt like this special moment with my mom in an only in New York place eating borscht, sausage and pierogis and catching up.

I also picked up one of these fliers for a fundraiser for Ukrainian refugees, and the prizes caught my eye:

All three teams win a t shirt and a plush version of the minesweeping dog Patron.

Second prize also gets models of Ukrainian tractors towing broken Russian tanks.

First place gets a model of the Moskva sunken in an aquarium with Snake island in the background.

Patron the dog is adorable!
