The New Yorker Radio Hour
A Lakota Playwright’s Take on Thanksgiving; Plus, Ayelet Waldman on Quilting to Stay Sane

I haven't thought of it that way, but I think it's so, that is really part of it in this way. I mean, what I want to make is, I want to make something that I can find comfort in. I don't make small quilts ever. I make quilts that, I like, I'll make a quilt you can cuddle up under on the couch, but mostly I make quilts, my first quilt was for a twin size bed, which is crazy.

Ja, es geht einfach nur darum, etwas nützlich zu machen. Aber erzähl mir das. Du hast gesagt, als du zuerst Quilten begonnen hast, du hast es den ganzen Tag gemacht. Jetzt, wie viele Stunden spart du einen Tag Quilten?

Okay, so you're like, what did you used to do with that time? But I think, I swear to God, Jeffrey, I think I was just online. I think a lot of this time is time I didn't even realize I was spending on the Internet. And the reason I think I didn't even realize was because the physical act of wasting time for me is identical to the physical act of working.

So if I get up from my laptop after spending the entire day on my laptop, I'm like, okay, well, that was working. And then if I really parse it out, how much of that time was actually working? Four hours, five hours max or nothing, depending on, you know, my state of procrastination. So honestly, I feel like I was literally spending that time on the Internet.
