Wow! Between Father Mike and the TikTok nun, you have this lapsed Catholic rethinking things lol.
Also, those cool yet terrifying garbage photos from Philly have me conflicted - I can't tell if they make me want to visit Philly or avoid ever going there.
LOL I hear you about Philly. And I think religion, as an occupation, tends to attract interesting people in general. Especially these days, when it is so not fashionable, at least in these parts. You almost NEED to be a rebel!
Thanks for the shout out, Anne! But I need to correct the record. It *is* my fault that I'm no longer a New Yorker. I had my chance when I moved to the Big Apple, but I blew it when I moved away. This one is on me.
Loved this edition! We absolutely need more interviews with surprising TikTok stars & please more Eric Adams weirdness. Can you find his favorite seafood restaurant? How does he feel about vegan seafood alternatives? And why can't he just call himself a Pescatarian?
I was trying to give you the benefit of the doubt. Clearly a big mistake! And yes, so many questions about the Eric Adams. I need to get an interview with this man. But under what pretext?

Love the reframe of religion trauma!
I didn't even know that was a thing! Except I did.
Just want to say how much I am enjoying your newsletter! The profiles of interesting characters you present are always delightful to me!
So happy to hear this Cathy! Thank you! They are a lot of fun for me to write :)

I think if you keep the Eric Adam’s chronicle going it’ll build into a thing and he’ll just have to sit down with you.
Love the Eric Adams chronicles 🤣 make it a permanent section??
Yes that is the plan for sure!
Sister Monica Claire is just wonderful. I learned more from her take on life than likely anything else that will happen today. Thanks.
Eric Adams is destined to provide a lot of material for people watchers. I always assume a middle name of "notice me" applies.
Haha that's what NYC mayors are for!
