On Sept. 11, 2021 — the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks — I published Part I of a blog post about the occasion. CLICK HERE FOR THE 9/11/21 BLOG POST. I planned to publish Part II the following day, but I didn’t. Nor did I publish it in all the days that followed,…

Treason’s Greetings! (Fox Lies!)
Merry Christmas from me … and the activist organizations Truth Tuesdays and Rise and Resist! Our group Christmas photo was taken on December 7 in the public plaza in front of Fox News, where I’ve taken part in a powerful “Fox Lies, Democracy Dies” protest every Tuesday since August,. Truth Tuesdays isn’t taking a break…
Flashback: The Best Day of 2020
One year ago today, I posed at the fence that the former guy had built around the White House to keep protestors at a distance. I was still feeling the pure joy of the previous day, when the 2020 presidential election was called for Joe Biden. At the moment that news broke on Nov. 7,…
What Wendy Wore: Met Gala Fashion Statement
I haven’t dressed up since New Year’s Eve 2020, so it felt great to squeeze into a vintage Arnold Scaasi dress and go to tonight’s celebrity-packed Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Okay, I wasn’t actually inside the Met Gala, but protesting in front of the Met with the tireless activists of…
September 12 and the Wall Street Journal
The 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks is practically upon us. I’m working on a post about that, of course. In the meantime, I wanted to share a couple of things related to the Wall Street Journal and MrB (aka Paul Steiger, aka the managing editor of the WSJ from 1991 through 2007). The…
Get NASTY About Abortion Rights
Once again, my famous sterling-silver NASTY necklace is raising funds for abortion rights! From now through September 18 (or until inventory runs out), I will donate $100 of the $300 purchase price of each necklace sold to the group of 10 Texas abortion funds that I mentioned in last week’s post. (As always, I will…
Join Me for Truth Tuesday, Abortion-Rights Edition
I’m part of a group of activists holding a weekly Truth Tuesdays protest at the Fox News building in New York City, in order to push back against Fox’s constant lies. We’re there every Tuesday at 9 a.m. and tomorrow we’re focusing on abortion rights, due to the oppressive Texas legislation and Fox’s Tucker Carlson…
How to Fight for Reproductive Rights
I assume you’re up-to-date on the Christofascist ban on abortion that’s been legalized in Texas, but maybe you’re still wondering what to do about it. First, here’s a tiny bit of good news: Thanks to public outcry, hosting company GoDaddy is forcing an abortion vigilante site — one that encouraged people to anonymously send in…
Jewel of the Month: Stars on Your Ears
When I like a style, I like it … Joan Jett released “I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll” in 1981, and I’m wearing a version of her haircut FORTY YEARS LATER. Designer Stephen Sprouse put DayGlo colors on the runway in 1984, and I’m still obsessed. And I’ve wanted Freddie Mercury’s cool star sunglasses since Queen’s…
Bastille Day Jewelry Blues
Bonne Fête Nationale! It’s le quatorze juillet — or what we non-French people call “Bastille Day,” which we do because we’re horribly plouc. Back in the day, I was lucky enough to be in Paris on July 14 three years in a row, so I have fond memories of the Eiffel Tower’s fireworks and wearing…
