Thanks to Julie for her insightful analysis of deep symbolic meaning of this trip to DC for those of us excluded from policy for far too long... have a read at the link below. Zohran keeps showing up + surviving, as the good leader NYers like me have been hoping for, for so long. #NYC #Mamdani

I've just posted something new on Substack: a quiet moment that reminds me how much beauty still reaches for us, even in all this noise. The way Mother Earth holds all of us, unconditionally.

Moms always say choose carefully who you hang around, and warn you about picking up your friends’ bad habits. He chose Mohammed bin Salman, and now his posts read like they were typed from a windowless room in the basement of a Riyadh interrogation center.

It smells like bergamot, self-doubt, and three half-filled mugs of coffee.
