Book Cover: Be Yourself and Other Bad Advice. A Teen Girl’s Guide to Unlearning the Rules.

My book, BE YOURSELF AND OTHER BAD ADVICE, is coming soon.

I wrote this book to help girls get to know themselves through stories, prompts, and thought starters, and to use that self-knowledge to build a life that feels like their own.

Available for preorder wherever books are sold.

NEW: Jeffrey Epstein said in emails that he had been advising the Russian government on how to deal with Donald Trump, one of several cases in which he wielded his connections to try to influence the course of foreign affairs. w @nahaltoosi

A small nook with a desk and chair. The walls have book shelves and framed images. There's a window in front of the chair.

A velvet armchair, side table, and brown floor-to-ceiling bookshelves. There's a ladder so you can reach the top shelf.

my sickness is that i'm addicted to looking at the instagram account for UK's House & Garden Magazine and imagining myself living in such spaces

YouTube video by Rubia Carolina An audience with a high level of connoisseurship is as important to the culture as artists

Connoisseurship really does need to make a comeback for many of the reasons Fran Lebowitz discusses here. It's not just a thing for the wealthy but an appreciation of human creativity, production and labor, whether it's clothing, cooking, arts, etc. We are not machines.

Small brass butterfly.

The underside of the butterfly, which has little pockets to store sewing needle packets. The underside of the wings are decorated with two plates. One carries an inscription of the drapers company: "Copestake, Moore, Crampton & Co. - London." The other has a gilded head of Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom, art, trade, and war.

The butterfly can be folded up, like how a butterfly flaps its wings.

A close-up of the butterfly's wings.

Beautiful 1860s Victorian butterfly, which was used to store small packets of sewing needles on the underside of the wings. This was a collaboration between a London-based drapers company and a sewing needle manufacturer. On exhibit at Tatter Blue, a Brooklyn textile museum.

We gotta make rich men think it’s cool to solve world hunger or something

“Books won’t stay banned. They won’t burn. Ideas won’t go to jail. In the long run of history, the censor and the inquisitor have always lost.”

— A. Whitney Griswold

A couple of key questions to ask when planning a vacation to another county in 2025:

1) Does this country have concentration camps?

2) Are the concentration camps museums or are there people in the camps who were rounded up and put in the camps by masked men with guns?

SENATOR @warnock.senate.gov : “Are we reading the same Book? The Book I know says ‘I was hungry, and you fed me… I was a stranger, and you welcomed me… insomuch as you’ve done it to the least of these, you’ve done it also unto me.’”

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Bush, Obama and Bono Commend USAID Staff Members on Their Last Day

I just don't understand this. George W Bush, Barack Obama, and Bono just recorded videos commending the staff of USAID for their work and lamenting the agency's destruction...

And those videos were not released to the public.
