I spent a few days with Miranda July in March. We talked about her new book, relationships, and the ever-changing self. We also went on a drive and met two strangers from Facebook Marketplace about a rug

I returned to the Styles section to profile Patrick Radden Keefe It was so fun working with @msolis14 on this Enjoy! nytimes.com/2026/04/02/sty…

@michaelbsacks hey thanks!

Love this piece by @msolis14. And I love the work of Nancy Lemann. If you haven’t read her books, please, do yourself a favor and read them.

Lives of the Saints is the sort of perfect book that i am always giving away and then having to repurchase new copies of and @msolis14 captures so much in this profile of the patron saint of wastrel youth nytimes.com/2026/03/23/sty…

She says she inherited her worldview and style from New Orleans, whose “remoteness” lent itself to eccentricity: “That’s the only thing I can think of for how I got that, my voice. But I was very sure of it.” nytimes.com/2026/03/23/sty…

I went to New Orleans to profile the writer Nancy Lemann, whose books for years have been passed around with cultish awe

Last weekend, I spent the day with Clavicular, the very handsome, suddenly ubiquitous 20-year-old forum poster and streamer who wants to make America hunky — if he can stay out of trouble: nytimes.com/2026/02/13/sty…

For your Sunday, I profiled a truly great New York character: @katz_morris, the 26-year-old Mamdani-whisperer whose vision is way bigger than the five boroughs. Call him Morris Supreme: nytimes.com/2026/01/25/sty…

I profiled @MizzWelch, who wakes up at 5 a.m., calls out Democratic leaders to their faces, then runs her own interior design empire—with comments from @RahmEmanuel, @CoryBooker, @RepJeffries, @hasanthehun, @mattxiv, @NelStamp & her country club tennis bud nytimes.com/2025/12/07/sty…

the disavowal of the "braided essay" — a totally imprecise term whose meaning no one can agree on — is about people's aversion to personal writing, partly because much of it is bad but also because of an allergy to earnest emotion

hyperflavor!!!

For INQUE, I wrote a bit about retrofuturism—how we look back into the past to look forward—from Edward Bellamy to Philip K. Dick. Every day I think it's a more important category, as blurry history assists our failures of imagination.

I'm only friends with people who want to be talking all the time

lurking here in addition to the obvious social awkwardness is a seeming unwillingness to accept that sometimes life just happens to you — the bar is crowded, the bartender is busy, you miss the bus

It’s insane how every fucking day now I am bombarded with calls about loan offers or debt consolidation. You block one number, another pops up. You follow the prompts to put you on their do not call list, and you still get calls. This kind of nonstop harassment should be illegal

My father was a Nazi hunter, until he was killed in the Lockerbie bombing, when I was four. Now, a man will stand trial for the crime. What does it mean, after nearly forty years, to seek justice for the crimes of history? My new cover story for @NYTmag: nytimes.com/2025/05/20/mag…

social media word I hate: "dreamy"

once someone cancelled on me over text in a manner that was so breezy and charming I never forgot it and ever since I deploy their simple method whenever the situation calls for it
