Tulips and Amma for the algorithm (turns out the Ottawa Tulip Festival is worth the 9 hours (each way) drive. Especially if your mother is as flower power mad as mine). More on this topic later on Substack, but my July class on artists statements and applying for stuff is open for applications - join me! Link in my bio.

I got to speak to lovely Itto and Mekiya for the Datekeepers podcast about the writing life. Link in my bio for a listen. It's a 20min episode and includes a shoutout to my dearest @snarshad for enabling my photographer self.

Friends, I am 53 and I’m in the PINK! I highly recommend the brand Arctic Fox for the vibrance. Thankfully my curls appear to be surviving my once-yearly bleach job – only in ponytails so I don’t touch my roots. Like Josh, I appreciate a roots-showing punk look.

My birthday week was filled with celebration including:

* thanking my mother for the OG gift of life

* shoulder PT (hello menopause) because the clinic has an amazing massage chair

* a sneak preview of The Christophers with an IRL Q&A with Steven Soderberg, Ian McKellen, and THEE Michaela Coel!

* brilliant musical performances at the loft by Steve and Tom (video by Rahim)

* birthday cupcakes (and so much more) by Josh

* friends galore IRL: Arif! Radhika! Jamie! Nate! Jee-Won! Craig! Mira! Diana! Ameya! Prachi! Sarah! Kamil! Erin! Luca! David! Rachel! Shane! Mayra! Wayne!

* dance party with a playlist curated by Anna Roy

* a jaunt upstate to THE COTTAGE: love and gratitude to Marya and Aaron and Vivian the dog for such gracious hosting

* so many games and laughs and meals and sunshine walks with our cottage companions, Rahim and Mark

* everyone who reached out via phone or the interwebs or the post. IFEEL THE LOVE.

New writing, teaching, and action!

I wrote a substack post about my magical time in Provincetown last summer. Link in my bio.

I’m teaching at @fineartsworkcenter again this July and for @narratively this April! More links in my bio.

And I joined a @drumbeatsnyc action in Queens asking for justice for #winrozario - killed 2 years ago by two NYPD cops who are still not fired! Tell @mayormamdani and @nypdpc to show some accountability.

Joy timeline: I’ve loved Mexico City since I first visited, back in 2008. Simi and I did a month long working vacation here - what a treat! Chockful of stunning art and architecture and yummy food, and perfect weather. Also check out the fabulous Mexican guitarists: Hermanos Gutiérrez

Sending revolutionary love to Minnesota and everywhere else being terrorized by ICE. Check out your local @nycdsa or @ny_indivisible if you’re looking for ways to get involved and help our neighbors and friends and ourselves. We need all (your) hands on deck. #abolishICE

Friends, I watched ALL THAT’S LEFT OF YOU, a Palestinian film at Angelika last night and was reminded, always always, that this slow motion genocide started so long ago, well before 2023. It’s not a perfect film, but I saw (and wept through) so much in it: the brilliant charismatic father with dementia (😭), Black American struggles and liberation movements reflected in occupied Palestine, the perfect oranges of Jaffa. #freepalestine

Here’s my mom in Dhaka all dressed up in black and white (and a shirt blouse!) and looking so smart! #smalljoys

Also newly obsessed with Liberia to Nashville musical artist Mon Rovia

Friends, I got back from Dhaka on Friday and marched with tens of thousands of you glorious antifas in NYC on Sunday (see my stories and @joshsteinbauer’s recent post). Let’s keep showing up.

In an effort to curate joy in my timeline, here’s this beautiful rug Josh got in Dhaka that makes my eyes happy every time.

View Instagram Stories in Secret

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.

Advantages of Anonstories
