    I think a lot about the physical and mental distance between news/journalism and more vulnerable or marginalized publics. I think about why it's so difficult to value these audiences. Why it's so difficult to produce news *for* them not just *about* them.

    team is putting together another great panel to help out with your relationship woes! i’d especially love to hear from queer people, people in non-monogamous relationships, and in any other relationship models that i can’t fit in a tweet

    A blue rectangular quote card that reads in black text, "Are you struggling to make a decision about your romantic relationship right now? Should you commit or should you leave? Can you open up your relationship? Do you want to move in together or live apart? What are the conventions or rules that you want to let go of or hold onto? Tell us about your relationship dilemma in a voice memo and send it to deathsexmoney@wnyc.org." The Death, Sex & Money logo is centered at the bottom in black and yellow text.
    We're thinking about the stresses our romantic relationships are under right now. We want to know: what are you trying to decide about your relationship? We’re assembling a panel to help. Record a voice memo about your relationship dilemma and send it to deathsexmoney@wnyc.org.

    one of my favorite packages I’ve received in the mail in the last couple years was one of Ariana’s mystery portfolios. would highly recommend getting one for yourself if you need more art in your home & like colorful surprises!

    The time has come for me to finally re-open my website’s online shop! But deciding to do this was also a fraught process. For some thoughts on creative practice & the difficulty of valuing one’s own work, read on. 🧵 If you just want art, find it here:

    i really enjoyed watching Work In Progress, and was always badgering people into watching it. it’s a really special show that I hope some other TV exec has the smarts to bring back!

    Right before the thanksgiving holiday, I got the extremely disappointing news from the execs at Showtime that Work in Progress was not going to be picked up for a third season. It was a major bummer.

    YEAR OF MAGICAL THINKING was the first book I can recall picking up to read with the intention of trying to understand grief. It was so foreign to me then; it felt like Joan Didion (also foreign to me then) was explaining that my life bordered a country I hadn’t realized existed.
