Breakfast for three. Snacks for three. Dinner for three (and cheesecake) forthcoming… I’m trying to post through it on Instagram (same handle). There are too many platforms and I’m on my second martini. ❤️🎄

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.

It’s crazy you used to be able to tweet something like this with “out of office 😎” and get 3,000 likes.

Took my mom, who’s in town babysitting my nephew, to afternoon tea yesterday. She loves it and while it’s not necessarily my thing, who am I to say no to half a dozen tiny little cakes??

"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.

Bought an adorable basil bush for summer pesto. I also love this Bergs pot I got to go with it. The company was founded in 1942 during WWII by a Dane who felt the world needed more joy during a bleak time. Relatable.

Went in the city early this morning just for these poppies. They’re one of the most gorgeous flowers in the world. And for those unaware, they’re a symbol of Palestinian resilience—bloom in even the harshest conditions.

Made a three-layer salted peanut butter chocolate cake for my boyfriend’s birthday because his favorite candy is Reese’s. In another life, I’m a tradwife.

My boyfriend and I are on a special diet for summer where we eat healthy whenever we’re together. Then whenever I’m alone, I eat as many cookies as I want and don’t tell him.

A couple of people on work calls today said “Happy Opening Day” and I said “thank you” assuming we had just launched something, but I was just informed this was a baseball reference.

An old lady at the coffee shop this morning said to the barista, “And don’t forget: we’re New Yorkers, and we’re strong and we can through anything. This all feels like a movie, but I’ve seen some shit.” Then she took her coffee and walked out. A vibe!

Showed up to dinner at a friend’s house with a single-serve can of natural, skin contact wine for myself because I knew they’d only have red. The white woman in me…

Was craving a salmon burger so I went to the fish market, bought a single brioche bun at the bakery, and then made a salmon burger. I feel like Ina.

Going from Twitter where I had 50K followers to Bluesky where I have 4K feels like a celeb who left acting to host a QVC show. And now I’m out here saying whatever the hell I want in bedazzled sweatpants (Isaac Mizrahi insisting “the moon is a planet” vibes). Bliss.
