Hey y'all— 
 
📢 NYC friends, early voting starts this week! 
 
Please remember that there are proposals on the ballot. 🗳️
 
Yes, to Prop 1 or the Equality Rights Amendment to safeguard our abortion and reproductive rights and No, to Props 2-6 which only give Mayor Adams more power and oversight or as the Gothamist put it, “would grant Mayor Adams sweeping new authority in his ‘trash revolution”. 
 
He's already stolen $10M of public funds! Time for him to return to his true home—New Jersey. 👋🏾
                                                             
Shoes On. Eyes Open.

weekly highlight—
 
This week I shared a reel on our Instagram that delved into a little bit of how I identify as Eelam Tamil as part of The Øther's Dynamic Identities series. The Øther, founded by husband and wife duo, Nyla and Aziz Hasan, is a womenswear brand that explores identity and belonging through storytelling and style. 
 
I'm grateful they gave me the opportunity to share my story on identity and evolving style over the decades. I also had a good laugh reflecting back on my college and post-college days of wearing professional suits and heels to the office every day, inevitably embracing my tech startup uniform of tees, jeans, and sneakers! 👟
 
PS. I'm wearing their gorgeous Anga Remix dress that is truly the best seasonal transition dress. It's made from poplin cotton, so it's easy to layer for the colder days or you can wear on its own, like this week when it was 80º in October!
 
Give them a follow and check out the øther identity stories on their feed. 🍃

random musings—
a collection of random, contemporaneous thoughts. no photos. just vibes.
  • NYC friends, y'all must go to this spot in Harlem called Azara Kitchen, run by a chef from Burkina Faso. The fried branzino & jollof rice with a side of plantains? Magic. 🇧🇫
  • We need more quiet coffee shops in NYC. I love when you're in the quiet car on Amtrak and folks will not hesitate to shoot you a dirty look if you're talking. "Quiet Car" coffee shop franchise - LFG. ☕️
 
 
We're TALKING ABOUT—
QNS to the WRLD  THE GLOBAL RUNDOWN
     Aboriginal senator Lidia Thorpe shouted, “You are not our king! You are not sovereign. You committed genocide against our people.” 🖤💛❤️ 
     The government blames the failure on a combination of high electrical demand, poorly maintained energy facilities, a lack of fuel, and longstanding and stringent US sanctions. 🇨🇺
     Our girl Lina Khan is really the only one in government puttin' in work for her pension! She had the FTC ban non-competes (under appeal), ban those annoying fake reviews on Amazon, and passed the click-to-cancel rule. Love to see it. 💁🏾‍♀️
     How long before Elon shows up with his crew with a solution? 🔋
     Accusations include the site “anthropomorphizing” AI characters and that the platform’s chatbots offer “psychotherapy without a license.” 👀
     LOL this headline. But honestly, Linkedin needs to be next. Everyone's complaining about the job market but y'all are on LinkedIn playing games while they snitch on you with their notifications. Smh. 🤦🏾‍♀️

This song is from 2020 and showed up on a blues playlist that Spotify curated for me! Never heard of Vinny Virgo but he's an underground rapper from Tampa, Florida. On repeat. 🔁
