"When I was an influencer (shut up)" LOL. Also the Sam Kriss essay had me absolutely sobbing at the kitchen table yesterday. Deeply moving, beautiful, heartbreaking. The love he has for her just jumped off the page.

Ok I am also spiritually aligned with breakfast and it's either a way too sweet french toast/pancake type thing or just a perfect egg sandwich always always on an english muffin. Also, there's an Arab juice place here that makes the most amazing half-avocado/half-strawberry smoothie with pieces of fruit and I was having it every week for like the first 3 months until both my wallet and the scale screamed in unison and now I pace myself heheheh...

I'm obsessed with Isabel's piece, and I cannot wait to read the others.

And finally, check your whatsapp, mama. I know I'm the only reason you're on there so I'm poking you here to let you know I sent you a message 😅😅

"Many of my favorite writers are disgraced men"

As someone who recently had to make peace with the Gaiman thing, I feel this. I personally can separate the art from the artist, at least in this case, because you can always buy used books that don't really directly support the person.

exactly! like 99% of my books are used. also, the way I see it is artists represent humanity, which is ideologically diverse and rife with pathology... we can't be sure who's truly "good" or just has a good publicist!

Oh I am so excited for the jewelry journey! I also have been thinking a lot about creating a collection that I can one day pass onto my child. I want to be like "and that's the piece I got with my best friend!" or "your grandpa bought me this ring when we visited India together after over a decade away!" I think there's a fine line between being materialistic and allowing what you do have to be deeply meaningful. I hope you write more about it, and I'm alllll ears for any Etsy shop recs!

YESSSS! Maybe it’s because I’m about to be a mom, or some of the things that were passed down to me, but I’m always thinking about posterity and how stuff like jewelry really becomes talismans. So I’m totally with you :) absolutely gonna round up my Etsy shops- such a great idea!!

Your child is blessed for so many reasons, but this!!! The stories they will get to cherish and wear -- how special. I feel so held whenever I wear my jewelry from my lineage. It's a reminder of where I came from and how I am exactly where I'm supposed to be. What a gift to give your child!! Mom of the year already gd! And yes please on the round up!

I have no idea how I found your stack but I’m here to tell you that you have great taste in food. Breakfast is the best, breakfast dates are even better. Also, I loved that story from Girl Insides as well. Happy resting to you and bb.

let me tell you—they might come for me for spreading anti-pant propaganda, but idc—fuck them pants fr. for one, with pants, i have to think too hard about outfit combos that i feel good in. i’m making milk (i’m basically a cow) and i have a baby on my hip everywhere i go, i dont have the mental capacity to put together a multistep outfit. dresses are one step—and the milk maid style dresses, the post baby body goes crazy in those. slick your hair back in a bun, put on some gold hoops, lil accessories—feeling good about yourself goes so far pp. with dresses, it takes 15 min but you’re going to always look put together. as a goth, i only wear black, but i still recommend black, because if your boobies leak, it’s less likely to show, and you can go from the playground to dinner in the same outfit. (i still don’t own pants, my daughter will be 6 lol)

I’m so here for the anti-pant propaganda. And I’m following your lead with all black dresses the second she’s born. You just can’t miss with that method. I’m definitely gonna need the mental boost of looking good postpartum after third trimester put me in troll mode 😂😩 things are rough around here

omg, second tri felt so glorious, i started to feel like i could be pregnant forever, and then third tri hits and im like oh nah, this baby got to get up out of here hahah. i went 41 weeks and my feet got so big the only shoes i could wear were those velcro dad sandals, and i honestly wore those until she was 2 bc they were so comfortable, low key recommend those lol

100% with you on breakfast & also, is it weird that I want to see this jewelry timeline? I recommend checking out goodwill online too. It’s incredible the vintage gold pieces I’ve found there ✨
