  Yesterday afternoon we hosted a double birthday party in the rain. The rain that hadn’t been predicted. As we huddled together in the cabana one of the birthday boys (if you call being over 60 boyish), was regaling ChatGPT, and the horror that is AI. He was smitten, and a little bit terrified too.

• Selling Sanctuary One Caftan at a Time

  

  I’m tired of this 50 is the new 40 bullshit. I’m tired of 60-something-year-old men dressing up like creepy wanna-be-sexy santas. I’m annoyed with women who have paid for their faces to look like their plastic surgeon applied angry bees to their cheeks and lips. I’m totally into older people who wear their own skin…

• Death & Kittens: Don’t Look in the Mirror

  

  At this stage, my biggest fear isn’t how old I actually look, it’s that I may show up and shock an old pal so much that they collapse into a just-past-mid-life heap of holyshitness.

• Everything That’s Wrong With the World & How to Make It Right

  

  “Thanks for listening to me cry.” That was the message inside a card I opened up while barrelling through the door like zombie. It was 4pm, and crossing the threshold of my home felt like someone had just pulled me from the tracks just in time. My response to that beautiful note would be, “Thanks…

• Mail Order Is Back With Trendy Shipping Fees

  

  Unnecessarily Complex. Unreliable. We’ve created a monster. Any time there’s a committee involved, things usually veer from the sexy path of common sense into the junkyard of overthinking. I’ve come to the conclusion that at some point, there was a tipping point of people who believed that being on a committee was a status symbol,…
