Filing political disengagement under “self-care” will never not be irresponsible to me. Self-care was always about preservation to stay engaged with what matters in life. Somewhere, it became permission to build a wall around your own ignorance and call it peace.

you curate a world of “aesthetics” and trends, and call it a life, while you mute the real world; the second discomfort demands deliberation. and we wonder why— never mind

everybody wants ADHD until you spend 15 minutes searching for a specific pair of sweatpants, only to find them in the pile of clothes you designated as “I really like these items.” yes, that’s how I organize container store gift cards are welcomed

I'm monitoring the situation closely... I think we're getting our sh*t rocked

Hi world! First, thank you to everyone who reached out this past month. Everything is fine. Second, I’ve finally moved back to New York City, and I’m fully embracing this new era. From April onwards, I’ll be more selective with my time and booking well in advance. 1/2

Due to an emergency, I’m canceling my San Francisco dates. I’ll be reaching out directly to those who were scheduled about rescheduling or refunds. My responses to all other inquiries will be delayed. Please bear with me.

Needless to say that Renee Good and Alex Pretti will go down as heroes here in Minnesota and nationally, their names synonymous with sacrifice and caring for vulnerable neighbors even at the risk of your own life. And hopefully no more innocent lives are lost.

I was firm in my views but generous (not unaware) in my interpretation of why people chose to stay silent during a genocide. Well, what we funded abroad has arrived home in the form of ICE, and that grace has run its course.

Flight delayed, email responses delayed. The theme of today is delayed.

Here’s a 🧵 of info about how/where you can Help Minnesota right now. I’m going to slowly add more links, but here is a good one to start with a bunch of other links. standwithminnesota.com

1. The violence being inflicted by ICE is the same violence Black people face every day. It was always a problem, but now it’s a crisis because it’s reaching those who assumed safety 2. You watched a genocide livestreamed on your phone, funded by 🇺🇸, took no stance & expected it not to come home?

Aw, what a way to cheer me up on a not-so-good day. Thank you mystery person ♥︎

I just received a gift from Anonymous via @official_throne : Prada | Leather iPhone 17 Pro case | One Size. Thank you! throne.com/emmagraff #throne #wishlist

There is no private jet, gift, or association that will “woo” me past my boundaries. Nobody’s bigger than the program.

I haven't shared a political take in a minute… because what I have to say isn't going to be easy to digest. Are we ready?

On this episode, is Emma wrong or just early?

Deeply unmotivated to post on social media, especially Twitter. I’m tired of the techbusive relationship.

Please repost. This is urgent info sharing.

“You have strong politics. How does that intersect with your work?”— Let’s zoom out for a second. Since when did: 1. Opposing genocide = strong politics 2. Supporting trans rights = strong politics 3. Wanting better accommodations and prioritization for disabled people = strong politics

“What’s something you wish more people knew?” — How to read. How to disagree. How to work backwards from the obvious. How to command language, ask questions, be comfortable not knowing answers. And we need a universal standard for sidewalk etiquette. tellonym.me/emmawrites/a...

“What is the best and worst part of your job (seriously)?” — Best: I meet a diverse group of interesting people, and my time is entirely my own. Worst: Emails. tellonym.me/emmawrites/a...

“Do you have a retirement plan/strategy?” — This question is annoying, next.

Free evening in NYC tomorrow 👀

Look at my boyfriends overachieving for me

I don’t know what’s most disturbing, watching people go on as if nothing has happened, or the expectation that we participate in the hell these maniacal men have made on earth.

Being a Black woman is so fun. And yeah, that’s the tweet.

Updates: - Headed to LA & SF this month. Travel dates are listed on my site. - January's nearly full, one evening free in SF, a few dinner slots here and there. February's limited. - Now booking March and considering London or Chicago for that month.

delayed new years resolution: - sleep more - go ad free on YouTube - be bratty - start a sriracha sauce hobby - run a strict program - less clients, more boyfriends - try coconut water to see if it's still nasty - keep my soul

2025 wrapped

Readiness never arrives when or how we expect. Still, we move toward what intrigues us, what we can’t quite explain. Thank you for allowing me to inspire that movement and continuing to trust me with our moments. Full letter on my site.

I spotted her in London— none left stateside, only eight in all of Europe. And somehow, she still found her way to me. Another beauty for my collection. Thank you, Mister You Know Who.

Merry Christmas from the Graffs

My lovers treat “bearing gifts” very seriously. I’m very well cared for, in the steady ways that matter.

Adding a few people to my nice list ✨

Wishing me Merry Christmas without bearing a gift is bad luck. I don’t make the rules.

Merry Christmas Eve… Eve 🎅
