Good morning everyone. I hope you had a nice weekend. One quick thing before we start: who here has seen Julianne Moore in Safe? I watched it on Saturday night and I can’t stop thinking about how ahead of its time it was. A real self-care satirical fever dream.

Today’s letter includes:

Sohla El-Waylly
on the reaction to her essay about leaving The New York Times,
Amanda Lee Burkett
’s hair colorist, Zohran Mamdani is moving to Manhattan, and one of Puck’s reporters is leaving the publication.

Last night, I celebrated Feed Me’s three-year anniversary at The Waverly Inn. Turns out people will gladly come out on a cold Sunday night if there is a roaring fireplace, a Lauren Schofield cake, strong Negronis, and gift bags that include breakfast for the morning. Thank you Uber for sponsoring the party, and Apollo Bagels (available on Uber Eats) for sending everyone home with almost-still-warm bagels. And thank you Joana Avillez for the splendid invitations. And thank you Emilio Madrid for the gorgeous photos. And thank you Graydon Carter for the most wonderful room in New York.
