This is a moment of gratitude- not for the sun (although it sure is sweet after all this London rain, and I thought rain was my thing…) And not for this new bathing suit (although it’s pretty exciting when something is both covered in hearts AND accommodates the ample belly.) No, this is gratitude for YOU. It’s easy to go down the rabbit hole, yelling about how the internet is mean and false and destroying our social fabric yadda yadda yadda, but this community, right here on the ‘gram, has been so consistently loving, kind and connected for such a long time. You’ve generously allowed me to share my tougher moments and my most sweet ones too and, most essentially for me since it is why I am haunting the planet like a ghost who can’t read the room, my art. The fact that you’ve shown me love when I am, in fact, a stranger is a testament to the goodliness of human nature. So this is just a note to say thank you, I’m with you and – to quote my love @taylour- remember to put your feet in the grass. I just did and it helped, with everything. Then I saw a slug and came back on the deck but you know, points for trying? I’m giving you all points for trying this Monday. ❤️☀️ Attitude of Gratitude

Sometimes I get so caught up in my vision of what I thought a family was meant to look like at age 35 that I forget I have one, right here, and it’s perfect and complete (even if my daughter is sporting a *very* adolescent pout.) The family we choose for ourselves is as mighty as the family genetics 🧬 can build- and many of you have been part of that family for me, urging me through growth and change and some really unfortunate hairstyles. Taking this Sunday to appreciate my family, as it is today, as I created it, as it created me.

I’ve been in London long enough that I feel like I should have become the queen of high tea, the princess of Carnaby Street, the mistress of Georgian architecture and late night curry. But- like lots of immune compromised people- pre-pandemic life hasn’t restarted for me, there has been no hot vax summer and most of the spots I frequent are between my bathroom, my bedroom and the less populace parts of the park (I might argue that locking it up is not only a job for the immune compromised these days, but that’s for another, less playful post.) Because this is just to say that I finally made it to the London Review of Books Cake Shop and and Oh My Gosh. Woman authors overflowereth? ✔️ Vegan food that makes you feel like you’re in a cult in the 70s? ✔️ Wooden baking spoons with the insignia of my favorite literary journal, which will make great niche holiday gifts for my NYC friends? ✔️ It doesn’t matter sometimes if you only take one trip into civilization a month just so long as you make it a really good one… ps This falafel wrap with ginger, golden raisins etc was very important to me. 📚 @lrbbookshop @lrbcakeshop @londonreviewofbooks London Review Bookshop

Happy Father’s Day to the first great love of my life. You gave me a love of stories, a pounding work ethic, a totally inappropriate sense of humor, a passion for my all-alone time, a hunger for sweet potatoes and pink paint and woolly socks. You told me I deserved everything when I felt like nothing, and you made me believe there was a me-shaped hole in the world, even if it took awhile to find. Thank you for long talks every morning at 5am your time, long days by my side in the hospital, answering the door every time I lost my keys for like 27 years. Thank you for raising a family even though you could have spent a lifetime just dancing in that brain of yours but you danced with us instead. I still can’t believe you hand-sewed that mermaid costume (swipe to check the look.)

Speak of the 😈 and she shall arise BABY GIRL
My sister flies, today and every day. So proud of you @tommy.dorfman, for sharing your truth and lighting the way for us all 🌟 (plz check out her interview in @time Magazine with the incredible @torreyadora)
When I first heard this song-my 💕@attawalpa wrote a 💕 📝 to his iPhone- I knew I wanted to make a Covid era visual that played with how much we record and post of our romances on these devices and the line between #couplegoals and #couplenightmares. Luckily my sweet partner is always up for a creative adventure, and this one took us from the bathtub to a valley of 🐑 and back to the bathtub again. So excited to share 💝 surreal link in bio, and you’ll see more pairs of 🖐 than mine… many thanks to EVERY woman who touched my boyfriend for the sake of this art 😂
