Last time I recommended kittens. I still recommend kittens. But I’ve expanded my roster and wow, pigs are amazing. They’re 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. It’s not a bit that would work for everyone- he’s sort of an Andy Kaufman absurdist- but I think he’s hilarious.
If you are thinking you might also want a pig, Autumn Whitaker is the woman to explain their inner lives: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGue5Kp5AwOXkReCGPUyImA
There are a lot of incredible pigs who need parents at pig icon Susan Magidson’s Ross Mill Farm: https://rossmillfarm.com/

They’re beautiful 🥹 Ms. Lena if you ever read this I think you would also like rabbits. They have surprisingly big personalities for being such little and famously timid creatures…

I used to have a pet pig before too! He was sweet and smart, I loved how his tail wagged when he was happy. 🥹

📽Support our independent cinema screens!! I am a Londoner so I have memberships with BFI, Prince Charles and Picturehouse and it is totally worth it, especially as watching movies takes up a good chunk of my personality and I dislike watching things at home. Advanced screenings, access to smaller films, discounted tickets are all great but it’s also just nice to support these places who do so much in preserving the British independent film scene which is currently in an abysmal state. Curzon, Everyman, The Garden, Genesis, ICA and many more are also all great and I would be members of them all if I could. Big up BFI especially because I probably wouldn’t have got as far in both my career and love of film without them, and the Northampton Filmhouse in my hometown which was my first independent cinema.
These are of course London based examples but I encourage everyone to support their local independents 🫶🏻

⭐I told a friend the other day I tried rolling up to the box office at MSG for Charli XCX's sold out show and my friend responded "what are you on Seinfeld?". Tea. But going to the box office is something that this digital age does not always consider. I have had much luck at any other "sold out" show in NYC by going to the box office on the day of, purchasing a ticket at face value, and strutting on into the venue. Typically the venue holds a row or so for the occasion. Unfortunately, the box office in reference at the top of this rec, did not deliver on my hopes and dreams of being Brat.

It’s not that easy. It takes work. And it’s 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 people’s 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 don’t understand, so why should you? You’re stronger, smarter and chicer than that! And you’ll 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.
Since life is not linear, sometimes you’ll think you’ve 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. That’s okay. But returning to a baseline level of DGAF is a good goal, so keep your eye on the prize.
Actually, fuck it- who needs a prize anyway?

What are men good for? Singing, apparently!
I’ve always been partial to women’s voices- Lilith Fair was my first live music experience, which tells you all you need to know about why I’m this way- but the boys are feeling feelings this summer and I’m okay with that!
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.
If I ever have a son, I hope we writes a song called “Mama On The GW Bridge.”

I know this is a true luxury, but liking your sibling- not just loving them but genuinely thinking they’re the absolute shit- is a real short cut to well being. My brother Cyrus is straight up the funniest, smartest and most supportive person in the entire world. He delights me. Being around him- heck, just knowing he exists- is what I imagine being on a really powerful sports team is like. You win together, and even when you lose you know there’s someone who is in it with you, ready to train hard and rise again. He’s also an incredible writer https://www.booksoup.com/book/9780316444972 who is currently finishing his PHD thesis, so that’s a great shortcut for having something compelling to say at a party.
This is a picture of us during lunch break on the set of the movie I’m directing (he’s doing a little role in it, because he’s low key a great actor) just gabbing our heads off like we’re still kids at our grandma’s house on Christmakkuh.
