I made this shirt and I love watching people stare at it and smile.

Some thoughts for this week.

• You should let go of the crippling anxiety and dread of creating art that you think will not be good. Let it be bad. So bad. I think I am going to make a painting this weekend. It will probably be shit, but it will release this thing inside of me that is yearning to paint. I love to think about making giant word paintings in my head. They are so ugly that maybe they are nice.

• Body movement is luscious. The older I get, the more I get it. Use it or lose it, loser. I am very late to this era where I feel so good stretching and wearing cute gym clothes and moving my body once a day. Who cares? I am here now. I think I will hit 30 Pilates classes soon. Applause!

• I did not know that if you Google the word "askew," the entire page will tilt.

• Emma Swift
  new song.

• Keith Hanlon
  new Substack.

• My sweet friend Jenny

• I’m going to get to go to a hotel and write this week. Like hole up for a couple days. It is magic. I did some work for the Junto, and they gave me a gift cert. I feel like the luckiest woman in the world. What should I pack? I think I will wear pajamas the entire time.

• Scout is across the pond with his dad and English family. I feel so far away. I know that I leave him sometimes, but he has never left me. I don’t know, it just feels sad. He went across the whole ocean without me for the first time. This growing up thing is really breaking my heart.

• Summer wishes. Thinking about them. What are your summer wishes?
