Hats are hard. The options are either ironic (Von Dutch) absurd (any fedora) or serving āmom on a cruise who desperately wants to dock so she can buy some local jewelry.ā But when I am outdoors I have to cover the face or I will turn millennial pink. Gemsun makes hats that are the perfect marriage between freaky lady of leisure and practical woman preserving her youth.Ā
I also love my Samantha Pleet collapsible striped beach hat for those days when I want to create at least a foot between me and anyone else.

š¤ It started when I got self-conscious about my thinning mop, but now itās a āthingā and I like it. Generally I wear a striped Breton (gnome-y) beanie, but I have a collection of cowboy hats Iāve picked up in Texas on road trips over the years that Iāll wear to the beach. I hate suncream so itās good to keep the face in the shade. I bought my godchildren baby-sized striped beanies so we can match.

š©I donāt wear baseball hats. I donāt wear beanies. I donāt wear sun hats. But when stylist Emily Dawn Long designed her knit āWandaā bucket hat, I was enchanted. Mine is white and bright blue. Itās soft and foldable so I can stuff it into my purse or big pockets. When I wear my mask and hat, I feel like Iām hidden and protected from the world. I also feel a little like Captain Crunch when I wear it. Eric sometimes steals it but he looks really handsome so itās ok.

š©It started with regular hats that others passed on - bucket hats, baseball caps from family, then I started buying hats - like sunhats, wider brim wool types, even a fedora inspired one, and when I picked up knitting, I made more hats...
Besides the standard types, people have gifted a fez, a traditional chullo and a beautifully embroidered Arequipa hat. I bought a hat here and there too, so it's getting to be a sizeable collection. But there are so many hats I still want to try! I want to get the Blockbuster beanie, a mariner's or sailor's hat, a OOO baseball cap from hoho coco, the Madhalla, that massive floppy sunhat (but I need more wardrobe or wallspace), the Assam hat (rice hat?), a cowboy hat, and so much more. It's my weird thing, but I love it, and I wear them all :))

Itās not that easy. It takes work. And itās a power you must not abuse. But if you can give a fuck about the right things- your loved ones, your passions, the needs of an ailing world- and not about the wrong ones- OPP aka other peopleās perceptions- you are freed from a certain sort of tyranny and your life force will be tripled. Most people have inherited judgements about the world that even they donāt understand, so why should you? Youāre stronger, smarter and chicer than that! And youāll be shocked by how much of what you thought would always be your reality can be shifted using the renewed energy that comes from DGAF.Ā
Since life is not linear, sometimes youāll think youāve nailed not giving a fuck and then something anxiety inducing or unkind or even mundane but alarming will happen and you SUDDENLY really really do give a fuck. Thatās okay. But returning to a baseline level of DGAF is a good goal, so keep your eye on the prize.Ā
Actually, fuck it- who needs a prize anyway?

What are men good for? Singing, apparently!
Iāve always been partial to womenās voices- Lilith Fair was my first live music experience, which tells you all you need to know about why Iām this way- but the boys are feeling feelings this summer and Iām okay with that!Ā
Role Model, MJ Lenderman, Cameron Winter (plus Experience, a new album from my husband, Attawalpa) have been the soundtrack to writing, swimming and riding to work across the George Washington Bridge.Ā
If I ever have a son, I hope we writes a song called āMama On The GW Bridge.ā

Last time I recommended kittens. I still recommend kittens. But Iāve expanded my roster and wow, pigs are amazing. Theyāre not easy pets- they require a lot of focus, patience and gentle discipline- but they are so fucking smart and they have wonderful senses of humor. Victor, my boy, has a passion for unplugging lamps and yanking them off the table, then running away laughing. Itās not a bit that would work for everyone- heās sort of an Andy Kaufman absurdist- but I think heās hilarious.
