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?

Watching these inept mentally ill men cosplay Nazis

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 🎅

In the market for serious headphones. Any recommendations?

I want to be someone’s art fair plus one. Unpretentiously. Globally. Art Basel. Frieze. Venice Biennale. I’m available. You should be too.

Art is never optional abroad.

Chiming in ✨

Gave Big Ben something to chime about.

I hate when I'm sick, and a European tells me to do a cold plunge at dawn, wrap my chest in a vinegar compress, then drink elderflower tea while facing east. I'm American, babe. Where are the DRUGS?

Back in the Corn Syrup Capital 🇺🇸 25% chance of responding to emails today. I barely know what day it is, no bueno for planning. 87.6% chance I’ll respond to emails tomorrow. 98.76942% chance I’ll be watching The Grinch and tweeting today. 100% chance of sleeping 10+ hours tonight.

Being comfortable and practiced in the art of being yourself, then protecting that practice through isolation, judgment, and misunderstanding.

Nothing carries the stench of failure quite like the rage-baiting right-wing pivot

I need her.

Updates: - Visiting San Francisco January 22nd–24th and Los Angeles 25th–27th - Popping around Texas later this month - Booking into January and February - Email replies delayed until next week - Those who initiate, prioritize, and plan ahead will get the best of me

EOY thoughts: 1. I can’t date men under 40. I like ’em ripe. 2. I am not Michelle Obama. If they go low, sometimes you have to drag them to hell with you. 3. Beyond survival, money reveals more than it rewards. 4. Calling “X” Twitter is an act of resistance. May we resist.

Convinced they’re 3D printing food in the States. Even the chips in London taste fresh.

Substack reply guys just get it. As sovereign as I am, I’m also soft and deserve to be safe, seen, and protected 🥹

I received an inquiry from someone who found me through an old Playboy shoot. Flattering until I realized they’d created AI-generated videos of me from those images. Not sexual, but an absolute violation of consent. This isn’t charming, it’s disturbing. Don’t do this to women.

🚨 Bad news, my airline status is at risk. ✅ Good news, you can change that. I have one spot. One person. A once-in-a-lifetime, never-before-seen opportunity. Flying myself to you. Standard terms, I cover the flight. Oh, and I'm in Europe next week. Detours welcome.

They should do MyChart Wrapped

I’m watching all the girlies move here from Twitter and Bluesky, fam. It’s been a long road, but our time has finally come. Rejoice my blueskeeters/blue clues

"Pretty girls need pretty things (and rare books)". Well, I added the rare books part, and he delivered. Thank you 🤎
