People either ask me what the fuck this is or start pouring their heartās out about their private admiration for Hailey Bieber. My father thinks itās āa remarkable piece of designā and a colleague assumed it was an on-the-go lube. The point of an iPhone case, to me, is that it must bring pleasure all day long while youāre forced to pick up this anxiety machine we are all tethered to, and this does the job. (I am also a devotee of Bailey Hikawaās sculptural cases, but when Iām on set I need to be able to pocket my phone so Iāll slap that back on come September.)
This case (lip gloss flavor vanilla, duh- it tastes like that edible body lotion Jessica Simpson made in 2003 and that I rubbed all over myself in case someone decided to finally kiss me on the shoulder or shin) reminds me that I also really recommend enjoying things youāre too old for. Dabbling in Gen Z culture (Tik-Tok drama, the girl group Katseye, Peachy Den booty shorts) keeps you spry and bemused.

š§²Let me start with this - I feel like anyone with an iphone should have the Apple brand cases, it doesn't sit right with me to use a different brand's case with your Apple iPhone. Of their available cases, thereās some fun colors if youāre into that, and some basics, but notably missing (unless you want leather), is black (the "midnight" is a dark blue) - and I have the black phone. I found myself mysteriously drawn to the plastic clear case with a giant circle and line smacked right in the center. That design's for magnets so you can do weird magnetized stuff with your phone. The magnets are in the other cases too but there's no white shape thing happening with those. TBH the clear case is chic as hell.

šThe iPhone 16 is the most perfect shade of pink so I simply had to get it! Iām getting the clear case so I can actually SEE the pink. Fingers crossed the case doesnāt turn brown/get really dirty and ruin everything.

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.
