Iβm trying to post through it on Instagram (same handle). There are too many platforms and Iβm on my second martini. β€οΈπ
Merry Christmas!!
Iβve been training for this day for weeks.
Merry Christmas Eve! Our annual tradition of having beers at our local brewery, just like it says in The Bible!!
The tree is real (I smelled it).
Happy Joeβs isnβt until Saturday. βΊοΈ
Snacks
Just a few of the snacks that awaited me when I arrived in Iowa
Ordered a gingerbread muffin and coffee with a pump of peppermint at the local bakery this AM.
My transformation back to Hallmark holiday movie main character is complete.
Her boyfriend actually makes most of these candies! She makes the peanut butter balls (pictured) and then packages them into trays with him. Sheβs always been more of a baker than a candy maker.
Does anyone in Dubuque, Iowa own a gym that I can use from December 22-28?? Iβm in trouble. π₯Ή
My momβs Christmas itinerary has arrived; Iβm processing.
Happy Birthday to the Queen.
Time for the great changing of the soaps. π
Itβs crazy you used to be able to tweet something like this with βout of office πβ and get 3,000 likes.
Pumpkins are out. Tulips are planted!!!
And hereβs a flyer for the auction!
Iβm hosting an art auction on Artsy where all works are donated and all proceeds go to Gaza. The artist lineup is incredible.
Weβre previewing some of the work at a gallery event in NYC next Tuesday, 10/28 from 6-9pm. You can RSVP for the preview here: partiful.com/e/qiHVtLXaT4...
Iowa. The pizza, the view, the legend.
me: Iβm looking forward to a chill and relaxing long weekend in Iowa starting Thursday.
my mom:
Took my mom, whoβs in town babysitting my nephew, to afternoon tea yesterday. She loves it and while itβs not necessarily my thing, who am I to say no to half a dozen tiny little cakes??
I profiled Countess Luann for Playgirl Magazine. Whereβs my Pulitzer? playgirl.com/features/lua...

Iβm very much not MA born and bred, but Iβve had it many times in the Cape!

My outfit perfectly matches the bathroom at the bar and I need everyone to know it.
My balcony is approximately 24 square feet. But itβs fabulous.
If your first instinct relative to the images coming out of Gaza is to litigate rather than condemn, you are rotten inside.
I keep holding onto what Omar El Akkad said, "One day, everyone will have been against this."
But what consolation is that if there is no one or nothing left?
People I know still wince at and even challenge words like "forced starvation".
l often think back to what Ta-Nehishi Coates said on CBS Mornings in September when antagonized over and over again by its anchor:
Either apartheid is right or it is wrong.
Whole family trees whittled down to an orphaned three year old amputee. International aide organizations unified in their pleas and their language (genocide).
And itβs complicated?
"It's complicated."
People still say that to me about Gaza. Two years into this mess, into what has evolved to be a sociocidal war whereby an entire society's infrastructure and identity is being eradicated.
