Ephemera for Christmas

An Immaterial Wishlist & the 2026 LoveNote Keynote

The first step to receiving more gifts in your life is to be present (huckhuck) enough to be thankful for what you already have.

So I do want to take a minute to thank you for coming out to the LoveNote Holiday Livestream the other night. Part of my brain always expects no one to show up, especially considering I did very little promo for this event. But you guys proved me to be a bimbo once again by showing up and keeping chat chatty!

We spent the evening sipping red wine, shittalking Twitter, and molding custom Christmas ornaments for my own first full-size tree ☺️ You were there for me with solutions when I had technical issues with the dough and we got it done together! You guys are a genuine hive mind of inspiration I’m able to tap into right from my dining table. My own personal digital Greek chorus! I adored that. I love that I am beginning to recognize and get to know each of you individually. The internet is much more fun as a community, right?

I also took a moment of the stream to address The Investors and discuss the future of LoveNote content. I felt like a regular Tim Apple rolling out the next iPhone! You seemed to like what I had in mind so I will be playing with some of those ideas over the next few weeks. I’m excited to share this weird little project through all its phases. Thanks for being so cool and wonderful ♥️

If (for some reason) you’d like a rewatch, the full video is attached. Enjoy seeing my makeshift titlecard and hold music at the beginning. I’m very proud of that quick thinking. Also, this out-of-context clip that Substack automatically generated and captioned is cracking me up.

A Christmas Wishlist of Sorts

Yeah, diamonds are a girl’s best friend (and I like those too!), but I’m craving memories, tastes, experiences, and expanding my brain this Christmas. I have lot of Things. I am not above coveting Things, but I need more than that these days. So here are some Moments I’m wishing for and would love to have granted by someone special this holiday season…

♥️ A Fleisher Art Memorial membership for art classes

♥️ A day of local hiking or skiing, let me be your snowbunny!

♥️ A reservation at Atomix NYC during my upcoming visit

♥️ Strawberry-shaped marzipan from Little Italy in Boston next week

♥️ An afternoon at Calder Gardens

♥️ You
