A belated ☀️BIRTHDAY☀️post for my sister,

A belated ☀️BIRTHDAY☀️post for my sister, Jenny, of whom I have more great pictures than anyone, thanks to the incredible travels we’ve been lucky to share. Here, a few from Jaipur, Delhi, and Udaipur during this spring’s trip to India. Cheers to the year ahead and to more adventures in the future! 🩷 @jennynelsonsays

What a gorgeous afternoon commemorating Lita Albuq

What a gorgeous afternoon commemorating Lita Albuquerque’s new iteration of the 1978 earthwork “Malibu Line,” a project with LAND. This marks Lita’s return, with her family, to the land that burned in 2018’s Woolsey Fire, now healing, and to their home that is nearly rebuilt. It was so special to be part of this full circle moment, set in motion by an ultramarine blue pigment line across the earth. Thank you @litaalbuquerque @nomadicdivision @lhyatt @lalaik @jessicatrentpr and everyone who shared that slice of space and time 🙏💙

We’re in this life together, for better or worse

We’re in this life together, for better or worse, playing the hand that’s dealt. I love you, Dad ♥️ Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there

Thank you for the birthday wishes from afar! Today

Thank you for the birthday wishes from afar! Today we leave this land of color, beauty, history and LIFE in all its facets, feeling a little wistful but so grateful. This trip was in honor of my mother’s 80th birthday but I feel lucky I got to celebrate mine on Holika, the day before Holi, when good triumphs over evil, sins are purged and ruptures are mended through sacred fire. I couldn’t ask for a better new start—hope you’re all feeling it too. I’ll share more photos soon but for now I’ll just say thank you Mum and Jenny and thank you Mother India 🙏🌼🩷🌕

I could not be more honored that the radical, courageous and brilliant Judy Chicago @judy.chicago chose to share what I wrote in THE SECRET GROWING about “City of Ladies,” the show-within-a-show at her @newmuseum retrospective HERSTORY—on International Women’s Day, no less! Thank you Judy, you are a forever inspiration as an artist and such an essential part of the movement to elevate and amplify the voices and visions of women. And thank you again @lareviewofbooks for publishing this piece. Link to the full essay in my bio and Judy’s Linktree (!).

What a ride! Alysia Abbott @mizabbott and I became

What a ride! Alysia Abbott @mizabbott and I became friends when we worked together in mid-90s NYC, and I’ve seen her story of her dad, the poet Steve Abbott who raised her as a single gay father, become a website and then a memoir, “Fairyland,” in 2013, and now a feature film, artfully directed by Andrew Durham. Set mostly in San Francisco during the bohemian ‘70s and the AIDS-plagued ‘80s (Steve died from AIDS-related causes in 1992), the film premiered last January at Sundance and wrapped up its film festival run in Palm Springs @psfilmfest 🌴 I was lucky to be Alysia’s +1 at last weekend’s screenings and parties, and we also made time for a sublime hike in Indian Canyons. It was wonderfully surreal to see “Alysia” as a character onscreen (played by Emilia Jones with Geena Davis as her grandmother, no less) and truly special to get to spend time with Scoot McNairy’s soulful “Steve.” I hope everyone will have a chance to see this beautiful film in theaters. #fairyland
