Hello my stir crazy friends. I know a lot of you who are social distancing and starting to feel like your walls are closing in on you. And I’m getting a whole lot of “I’m bored” texts. Boredom is something I rarely, if ever, experience because I enjoy my own company, probably much too much...so I thought I’d share my list of ideal isolation activities. If you try any, will you let me know how it goes? Wishing you all health, safety and ✌️ of mind ❤️

I know a lot of people are feeling super anxious and isolated, with good reason - I hope you will find the simple things that comfort you and repeat them over and over again. Stay safe and healthy. Stay connected. And of course, stay creative. 💕

Ya know when you’re home alone and you realize you’d be happier in a hot lil’ onesie than your ketchup & cat food stained pajamas? And it’s not about a boy or a photo shoot or a weight loss before-and-after, it’s just for the feeling of glee you get from dressing your one and only corporeal form in pleasing fabrics, the unique pleasure of admiring the twists and turns of the body that loves the heck out of you even when you don’t love it. I’ve never called myself “body positive” because my relationship with my curves and scars isn’t overtly political— it’s wildly personal. And it isn’t always positive. I take enormous comfort in the body positivity movement, but I think of myself as something more like “body tolerant.” With a chronic disease (or three), it’s impossible not to resent your body sometimes. But we are no longer in an on-and-off toxic romance. We are also not monogamous. I drift toward her and away from her, trying hard to remember that, no matter how I fight it, she is me. I am her. We only have each other, so we gotta stick together. And sometimes that means a little lace to remind her I care. To other people living with #endometriosis, I’ve learned more from you than I can even explain... #EndometriosisAwarenessMonth

New episode of #TheCWord is up now! We focus on the story of Lourdes Gruart, an ex-model who went mysteriously missing in NYC one day. Her story reminds all of us of the precarious nature of being a woman in a world where aging is a crime. More on @hearluminary now. #LourdesGruart #WeWillNeverCallYouCrazy @arnoldfriend6 @pineapple.fm

This was one of the last shoots we did as the Girls cast, and it was bittersweet- we were all careening toward our new lives, as precariously and wildly as we careened on these Marc Jacobs heels. I remember trying really hard to just BE THERE, to experience being surrounded by these women, the messy magic of it, since it wasn't going to last forever. We spent six years completely entwined in each other, from five am on- we knew each others coffee order’s, hairpin triggers and special skills. It was as colourful as these outfits and as raw as the cellulite that Glamour let me show off on my thigh. I loved every second of it, even the ones I didn't. Thank you ladies. Happy 2020. @glamourmag @marcjacobs

2 and a half years ago, I shaved my head. Not in a fun sassy way but in a “my hair is all falling out from my autoimmune disease, better rush to the nearest barber shop and pay them 7 bucks to do this” way. At that point, I didn’t have very many health answers and I also didn’t know how to express my fear to the people around me so they just thought, “there goes Lena getting another erratic hair cut, just like she has every week since she was seven and cut her own baby bangs with crafting scissors.” Let me just say, bald is fucking beautiful, and it’s a full myth that ladies are meant to have long luscious hair- that’s why I have an essential issue with the culture of hair gummies and extensions ordered on the home shopping network. But my hair growing has been a living metaphor these last few years- all I did was leave it alone and something I had lost all of came back to be. I’ll carry that knowledge forward and then, you know what? I’ll probably shave my head again. Just for fun, this time.

Today marks episode 8 of #TheCWord, people!

When my friends at @16arlington asked me to walk the runway, I basically yelled “YES WHEN!?” Who doesn’t want to be a supermodel!? I don't get out of bed for less than $10,000 a day, just like Linda Evangelista (JK, will work for chips.) It was only after my initial scream of joy that I realized this would hit on a lot of my insecurities- about my body, desire-ability and general coolness. But Marco & Federica are such sensitive, funny and wise artists and they created a show that could make any woman feel beautiful and unusual and happy in her total uniqueness. I loved meeting girls from all over the world (wow, your job is a lot harder than it looks- I can barely move my legs after that strut, so hats off to models) and I’m so proud to call the designers my friends. Congratulations, my loves, on your first runway show! What a way to spend #ValentinesDay 😍 #LFW #LondonFashionWeek (📸: Mitchell Sams)

As for #newlifeadventures, I am getting to experience London Fashion Week for the first time. While I haven’t necessarily been hailed as a fashion icon (that’s the cute way to put it) I am obsessed with clothes. There’s never a day where I don’t get dressed with intention, even if it’s pajamas and bunny slippers in my bed. As our chosen leader Rihanna once said “I actually have had the pleasure of a fluctuating body type” and that doesn’t always lend itself to the doors of fashion opening wide- people have a lot of rules about how girls with flesh should dress (and, let’s be real, rules about how every type of woman should dress- it’s exhausting.) But I’ve had some incredible and warmly inclusive designers make looks for me, and it’s a real joy to stroll through the archives and remember some of my favorite moments in my life as a mannequin... Shout out to all the designers who have made room for my Spanx free stomach, which is almost as wide as my hips because that’s one way a woman’s body can look. (I’m a proud🍏)

My sibling wrote a beautiful book and our family is so very proud. We hope it will serve as a resource to those who have struggled with the gender binary and educate those who may not have previously considered that same binary as an issue. The book is out today and I’d read it even if I hadn’t met this person at birth. Wherever fine books are sold!

Being body positive doesn’t mean you’re always positive about your body. It means you recognize the ways in which society influences your self image and you choose to love yourself anyway. Like all of you, I’ve been on a journey with my body my entire life- be it with illness, trauma or living in the public eye as a woman with a body that doesn’t conform to the long held (and arguably unhealthy) standards of my industry. It was an honor to write about my continuing journey with food and weight (and how it intersects with mental health and sobriety) for @elleuk. Using a food diary as a frame, I try and understand my appetites. The food diary isn’t my recommended fitness program (spoiler alert: I don’t have one!) but rather a symptom of a cultural obsession with monitoring intake. I hope that the piece will resonate for some people who are feeling the bumps and dips of navigating their own complex path. Link. In. Bio.

Tashlikh is the Jewish tradition of walking to a natural body of water on #RoshHashanah and throwing our sins away. We weren’t always observant in our multi-religious household, but my mother dragged me to the river every year and told me to let it all go (“I’m sorry I stole an eraser from my math teacher! I shouldn’t have told Amanda to ‘have a nice life, bitch!”) As I was joyfully letting it all go on a windy Sunday on the Cornish coast, a massive wave hurled itself over the sea wall and onto my head. The group of tweens in the nearby parking lot may have laughed like I got what I deserved, but I laughed because I’d just given away anything that I could be punished for. I’m thankful for this time of reflection. Happy Rosh Hashanah friends 💙

It’s actually impossible to express in words the power of #TheSouvenir as a film, except to say it makes me believe in the magic of the moving image again and in a whole new way. This is the movie we need- about youth, about class, about art, about love, about addiction. I feel like Tiny Furniture was influenced by it even though The Souvenir was made almost 10 years later (time travel inspiration!?) What film has your attention this way?

How did we do? 🙋🏽♀️💁🏽♀️ Also a brand-spanking new episode is out today, in which we discuss the former #NASA astronaut #LisaNowak, who famously drove from Houston to Orlando to confront her former lover’s new girlfriend. She was arrested after assaulting her with pepper spray, with a car full of suspicious items. The press called her “Astro-naughty” and police reports claimed she had been wearing adult-sized diapers so she did not need to stop to relieve herself during her drive, a claim which she later denied.

A few years ago, I was chatting with @oliviawilde at an event where she was both pregnant and wearing a sparkly dress (and making both look easy.) She said she was thinking of directing a movie but was a little fearful. I said what I always say to women who want to make movies... “Just go for it!” (After all, dudes do things without knowing whether they’re actually capable of them all the time. See: the government). It turns out she had nothing to fear and NO reason to ask me for advice-- @booksmart is a miracle. Not only is it the funniest movie I’ve seen in years, it’s also the most inventive. Olivia directed the shit out of the warm and quietly revolutionary story, and the result is some of the most stylish and thoughtful work I’ve had the pleasure of seeing in a long time. Run, don’t walk-- this is one you’re going to want to see in theaters, with the Molly to your Amy... ❤️ 👭 #BooksmartMovie

I may own a birthday bitch hat, but IRL I’m no big birthday bitch. For someone who loves both attention and presents, I’ve sure cancelled a lotta bday parties at the last minute (a special sorry to @mattpolf who had already hired a crafting teacher last year, and @lesleyarfin who was ready to DJ in 2011.) I used to think there was something a bit unseemly about an adult leaning into their birthday, until I realized I was actually just jealous of the confidence and self-love it takes to say “it’s my day, people!” I often felt I was making up for some original sin and that the nicest thing I could do for others on my birthday was make myself as unobtrusive as possible (it never worked and I usually either barfed or cried.) But this year is different. This year I’m... wait for it... happy. And so grateful for where I am, who I am, and everyone who has helped me on my journey to health & sobriety. 32 was good to me, and for 33 I wanted to say a big old thank you. So I hosted a Spring fundraiser for @friendlyhousela (the first recovery home for women in the United States) in LA last week. It was the best day ever and @anniecampbell literally brought a Pinterest board to life!!! And today, rather than presents, I’d love for you to donate to Friendly House, which is dedicated to helping women navigate the journey through addiction to recovery. It’s a journey I know first hand can only be attempted with love and support, which is why I have started a scholarship fund for women who are determined to recover but don’t have the financial means to begin. Go to the link in my bio to donate. Thank you to everyone who came out to support last week; you melt my heart. Thank you for the birthday wishes. And a special thank you to those of you who donate. It brings me such joy to think of how together we can directly affect so many women who have forgotten that they matter. Let’s remind them! Lots of LOVE xo

Hey party freaks. I want to tell you guys about my new podcast “The C-Word,” that launches today! It's a chat show about women who society has called crazy, from the perspective of a woman who society really loves to call crazy 🙋🏻. Co-hosted with my dearest love and historian of bad behavior, Alissa Bennett, we look at the lives and reputations of some of history's most notorious tabloid staples. These are women we called "crazy", women whose public downfalls we consumed from our armchairs and computer keyboards with bowls of popcorn at the ready. On the show, we're looking to parse the discourse around these women, debunk the myths and dissect cultural stereotypes…while coming from a place of compassion and empathy. Because some of the things these women have done aren't so different from things we've all done--which may be why they frighten us and fascinate us. Our first episode covers the life of celebutante and Johnson & Johnson heiress Casey Johnson. Trust us, it's a good one. So if you're somebody who finds yourself deep diving into the Daily Mail comment sections, or you're a passionate student of pop culture, or even if you've just been called "crazy" yourself...Then Alissa and I have a show for you. Join @hearluminary with my link (Luminary.link/Lena) to listen for three months free! Link to the episode up in my bio.

I’m not considered a fashion icon. Heck, I can barely get on a red carpet without a full exegesis on my lack of care for my appearance. But I have always loved fashion. You know, the way girls who fantasize about being business witches and mermaid mayors love fashion. Fashion as fantasy, escape and expression. Little known fact: the first time I saw @jemima_jo_kirke was in a @voguemagazine article about kids who love designer duds that I was in as well (she was photographed, I was only quoted. The start of a life long trend.) I fell in love with her saucy face and effortless way of moving through the world, and it took years for me to accept that mine was a different kind of style. I am not effortless. In fact, I’m actually effort*ful*! I don’t dress to accentuate a swan-like shape. I don’t know how to casually rock a pair of sunglasses and ripped jeans. My body is ungainly and it bulges and it yells, but it’s mine and it deserves to be draped in clothing that expresses my innate sense that we are living in a cosmic joke, one that is so LOL scream out loud pee ya pants funny and that we should celebrate every day. @christopherkane understands. He lets women be playful and aggressive and powerful and childlike and he demands “more joy!” Yes, sir. And thank you 🎈 (link in bio for more on our adventure in latex)

This is the painting I made of the extremely punk scar that my love @kaykasparhauser has sustained because Ehler-Danlos Syndrome is for kool kids!!! Yup, it’s pretty hip to have a group of linked yet mysterious symptoms that cause pain and disability but also make you highly compelling (but seriously, some people I love have this misunderstood/under researched genetic disorder and so do I! My spirit sisters include Kay, @karolynprg & @pchza and I feel lucky to have a gang of tough chix who let me complain about the lack of collagen in my connective tissue.) Could this be you or someone you love? Well, I was actually first diagnosed by a kind and resilient woman I’ve never met IRL who read about my health troubles and had a guess. We chronically ill women are often our own best advocates and healers and we can help each other to find answers. So, happy Ehler-Danlos Syndrome awareness month! https://www.ehlers-danlos.com

I met Alissa Bennett my freshman year of college. I was a miserable virgin who had spent my life savings on a pair of Stella McCartney heels I wore every day even though I have a genetic condition that makes walking in stilettos nearly impossible. She was a twice married international model who had returned to college but was so worldly and sophisticated that we were all afraid to talk to her. She was obsessed with Victorian notions of female virtue and she often wore antique mourning jewelry made of real human hair. She also worked full time at an exclusive boutique that would have sold Vetements if Vetements existed yet and she was writing a thesis that focused on the sexual appeal of the tubercular woman. I once called her goth and she corrected me. One day she found me weeping in the bathroom because my hairless cat Thor was in the hospital. My tears made her cry, and she hugged me and told me she was also having a hard week because her husband (who she had recently married for the second time) was having an affair with some fancy rando. I decided anybody who hurt Alissa was my enemy and that I would use all my powers to humiliate them for crossing such a smart sleek bitch. Back in class she winked at me. The school year ended. I transferred and she graduated, got a job, became a mother, wrote zines and reviews and stories and checks. Then one day on Instagram I happened upon a page that told ornate tales of celebrity death, commenting not only on the lurid details but also on the culture that drives famous and desired people to self immolate. I was like “wow who is this genius?” It was Alissa. I wrote, simply, “I found you.” Now we have a podcast called The C Word that launches May 11 only on @hearluminary. The C Word is crazy, not cunt, though we use that too. We talk about women who history (and the internet) has called crazy, and their stories are a way for us to better understand ourselves. That’s always the case with celebrity, with the salacious details o

I’m thrilled to partner on the @thredup X @OliviaWilde and @ConsciousCo #ChooseUsed Collection to spark a conversation around textile waste. (thredUP.com/ChooseUsed or link in bio to shop). They have re-designed thousands of used items into retro statement pieces that celebrate clothing re-use - all to combat the fashion waste crisis.

Today I’m in the miraculous position of being one year sober. I’ve done a lot of cool things in this life, but none has brought me the peace, joy and lasting connections that being part of a sober fellowship has (not even all girls camp. Sorry, Bunk Kingfisher.) Life is full of problems, but the cool thing about this one is that there is a solution: in every city, in many countries, you can find a group of people who are working hard to live sober, accountable lives and want to support you on your quest to do the same. I didn’t know I had an issue with drugs for a long time: because they were doctor prescribed, because I was outwardly successful and not a wild in da club party chick. But wouldn’t you say that hurting people you love is an issue? Wouldn’t you say feeling lost and lonely much of the time is an issue? Wouldn’t you say wearing shorts to a movie premiere *is* an issue? Sobriety hasn’t fixed my world. Life is still challenging- that’s the nature of the game. But every day I am surprised by the richness and depth of, well, reality. I don’t need to escape this beautiful carnival. Instead, I’m on the ride. Please remember you are never too far gone, too broken or too unique. There are people in plain sight waiting to help you. Let’s do this.

Anyone who knows me (or knows *of* me) equates me with 2 things: nudity and pelvic pain. I’ll take it if it lets me spread the good word. And now, I’m dating & connecting my scars from 12 surgeries as part of my endo sister @georgiewileman’s campaign #thisisendometriosis (March is endometriosis awareness month) to raise awareness of endometriosis and the multiple surgeries that are performed every year to try and ease the symptoms of an incurable disease that effects roughly 1 out of 10 women, yet is so often ignored or dismissed as a mental health issue (uh yeah, when you ignore our pain it sure becomes one!) Let’s make some noise this coming bikini season. PS: Should I just go for it and make these lines permanent? PPS: Trying to write the dates upside down on my stomach is the only downside of living alone.

But did you know she’s also the kindest, coziest and most supportive woman in show business? There’s a reason she’s JLD and we’re not. So fucking tickled to call her my friend and I’ll be so homesick for Veep (the new season is demented btw, it’s just so good.)

I’ve spent a lot of time in this life feeling like too much. Too hungry. Too anxious. Too loud. Too needy. Too sick. Too dramatic. Too honest. Too sexy (jk lol.) I was always sent the message, in insidious ways, that I took up too much room and demanded too much from life and sometimes gave too much to people who didn’t want any at all. But something has changed, and it started when I realized: I don’t have to be *for* everybody, and that for the right people, my too much is just enough. My too much also means I have room for their too much and we can take turns too muching all over each other. At 32: I weigh the most I ever have. I love the most I ever have. I read and write and laugh the most I ever have. And I’m the happiest I’ve ever been. Not the frail, precarious happiness of “things are going perfectly.” The big, generous, jiggly happiness of “I think I’m finally starting to get the hang of this.” Not too much... Just enough.

5 years ago today, right here on insta, I announced Not That Kind of Girl. Through the process of writing and releasing it I formed some of my deepest bonds and also felt some pretty sharp, and pretty public, pain (btw, I feel I was very before my time and trend setting when it comes to getting dragged on Twitter!? Never say she wasn’t cutting edge...) But most of all, it taught me that I was put on this earth to write. And having a purpose feels pretty good, even when it hurts. I love that I can write even when I’m too sick or sad or unshowered to be in the world, and that it keeps me in the world despite myself. We all have stories that need to be told, but most people never receive the necessary encouragement. Nobody needs permission to be a writer, but it helps. So in honor of this personal holiday, I’ll be donating to @girlswritenow ✏️ so that the next generation of girl scribes can bless us with *their* inner monologues. Meanwhile, I look forward to giving you more of me to do with what you will. I’m very, very grateful.

#Repost @theaidsmemorial @pokeacupuncture ・・・ 🔻 . “Eugene Arnold Krakower, New York, NY. . When I was about 7 or 8, Uncle Gene took my brother and I to the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. The streets were packed and freezing, but my Uncle had been a union electrician for the City of New York like his father and knew the construction sites on the parade route. . Uncle Gene hoisted us up on a definitely-not-child-safe scaffolding where we watched Mighty Mouse and Kermit in full vibrancy and spectacle three stories about all the regular people crammed in at street level who didn’t have a magical uncle. . Uncle Gene was a rascal- wickedly funny and full of playful disobedience. He was so different than my parents’ “normal” pale friends with their Camrys and swimming pools and stiff children with whom I was meant to play. . He was equal parts kid and grown-up, and had boats, and explosives, and a menagerie of wild pets including a bobcat who once famously bit my father on the ass. Uncle Gene thought it was hysterical. . Uncle Gene was so fully his own thing and he gave zero fucks, even though he died in 1990, thirty years before basic people would coin the expression. . He made all the other populace of my world feel so flat. Uncle Gene was always vertical, three stories tall, ecstatically alive with color and mischief.” — by @pokeacupuncture . #whatisrememberedlives #theaidsmemorial #aidsmemorial #worldaidsday #worldaidsday2018

So when I met fellow endometriosis haver @lifeabove_endo on the Internet a few years ago, I certainly never imagined we’d be spending Thanksgiving hugging tightly. But after endless back and forth (and 2 hysterectomies later) we are bonded for life. This time last year I was recovering and Jenneh was prepping for major surgery. And so this smiling picture means an extra lot to me because I know where we’ve been, and boy have we earned it. The World Wide Web can be pretty hairy, but its ability to connect us is something to be grateful for, as is this singular woman. Here’s hoping you have surprises to be grateful for. PS turns out infertile ladies can get pregnant... with fucking BREAD BABIES.

What a difference a year makes... First photo was indeed a year ago today, on the first night after my hysterectomy for severe endometriosis. I was smiling but my eyes say it all: full of anxiety and grief that I couldn’t locate through the layers of pain meds and benzos. Severe undiagnosed PTSD, feelings that my worth and purpose were being taken from me, angry and self-pitying with no sense of how I’d emerge. Plus, my hair had fallen out in odd clumps and I’d taken it upon myself to dye what remained electric blue cuz if you’re gonna spiral why not SPIRAL (shout out to @joanaavillez for being a true friend and bringing Manic Panic when I demanded it at night in the hospital, though. I love you Jo.) The second pic was taken tonight, happy joyous and (substance) free. The last year hasn’t been all roses and Kenny G songs, but it’s been proof enough for me in the presence of the divine. The divine- it’s been there in the kindness of my family, friends, chronically ill folks online. It’s also been there in the moments where I cried myself to sleep, shocked by the sounds coming out of me. It’s in the light slanting on my comforter, the resilience of my best friend’s baby clonking her head then giggling, the new hairs sprouting at my temples. Mostly I’ve found it in my own strength, because who the fuck knew. And I don’t mean strength as in powering through. I mean strength as in vulnerability, feeling it all, taking it as it comes and dancing even with a hospital grade pad in my underwear. I surprised myself. I bet you can surprise yourself too.

*THIS IS A PSA ABOUT BEAUTY & JOY* Once a year I go through my clothing so I can donate it or sell it for a good cause (last year was Planned Parenthood. This year will be @seespotrescued.) I am lucky enough to be the recipient of a lot of free stuff, because the horrible irony is the more able you are to afford in this world the more is offered to you. I have had the chance to wear designer “frocks” beyond my wildest dreams and an invitation to show up in some very glamorous places. But as I reflect on what I’ve worn and when I’ve felt the most beautiful, it has absolutely nothing to do with: how lovely my dress is, how thin I am, how obedient my hair is being. It’s completely and totally related to my smile. My joy factor is commensurate to how attractive I feel and how attractive I look has brought me zero joy. When I look at these pictures, I see sequins and satin and fantasy, but I also see moments of true comfort in my skin because I knew I was being of service to the world around me. There are also moments of desolate sadness where I couldn’t crack a smile because I had barely left my bed that day (or had barely left my own spiraling brain. Or barely eaten, which brings on compliments and don’t even get me started on that shit.) Today I wore sweats all around the city and smiled at everyone I knew and didn’t know. It was potent and magical and I’m still figuring out how to readily access that smile, but I know it’s the only beauty tip that has worked #asmileismystyle 😀 #worldkindnessday

This is a post about healing 🙏 Some of us are healing physically. Some of us are healing from loss. Some of us need to heal because we are scared, because people we love and people we identify with and people we could very well be are under attack and it is a fog that doesn’t really lift. Here I am healing my mind & hands & ❤️ by making sculpy beads with some of my very best friends in my pajamas. Yes I used a mold but I am pretty proud of the direction (cc: queen of kook @meganomullally) and it looks like a necklace is in my future and maybe even danglers...

Yesterday I had a two hour surgery to remove my left ovary, which was encased in scar tissue & fibrosis, attached to my bowel and pressing on nerves that made it kinda hard to walk/pee/vamp. Over the last month it got worse and worse until I was simply a burrito posing as a human. *** My mother took this picture after I spent 9 hours in the post op recovery area with v low blood pressure that the nurses were diligently monitoring. I was so out of it that I thought I looked sensually moody a la Charlotte Rampling (turns out it was more of a constipation vibe.) *** A lot of people commented on my last post about being too sick to finish promoting my show by saying my hysterectomy should have fixed it (I mean *should* is a weird one). That I should get acupuncture and take supplements (I do). That I should see a therapist because it’s clearly psychological (year 25 of therapy, y’all. These are the fruits!) But a big lesson I’ve learned in all of this is that health, like most stuff, isn’t linear- things improve and things falter and you start living off only cranberry juice from a sippy cup/sleeping on a glorified heating pad but you’re also happier than you’ve been in years. I feel blessed creatively and tickled by my new and improved bellybutton and so so so lucky to have health insurance as well as money for care that is off of my plan. But I’m simultaneously shocked by what my body is and isn’t doing for me and red with rage that access to medical care is a privilege and not a right in this country and that women have to work extra hard just to prove what we already know about our own bodies and beg for what we need to be well. It’s humiliating. *** My health not being a given has paid spiritual dividends I could never have predicted and it’s opened me up in wild ways and it’s given me a mission: to advocate for those of us who live at the cross section of physical and physic pain, to remind women that our stories don’t have to look one way, our pain is our gain an

I’ve paid a lot of visits to the ER the last few weeks, trying to handle my symptoms so I would be able to promote this show I love so much, with these people I love so much. But my illness- which has come and gone but never full left- has made working challenging at best and scary at worst. I’m not strong enough right now to explain what’s going on, in part because my doctors are helping me figure that out. I’m so sorry to be missing the Camping premiere and the chance to celebrate with brilliant people. If you want to see a kooky but achy portrait of what chronic illness does to a woman’s brain, Kathryn Mcsorley-Jodell in Camping is just that... I love you, cast and crew of Camping.

Today I did something that scared me. Today I did something that hurt. Today I did something that forced me to look at parts of myself that are icky and I don’t like one bit. Today I did something that reminded me of acute moments of pain, but also reminded me of some wild pleasure, but then I felt sad because that pleasure is over, but then I felt happy because it happened at all. Today I celebrated the sacred private part of myself that is always glowing and cannot be extinguished even if the world appears broken in two even or three- or my body feels like it’s built out of feta cheese, or I made a mistake. It’s unexpected and it’s not for any of the reasons I imagined it would be, but today this cunt is happy. Just a touch. That’s all I need. If you feel it, say it- it never hurt anybody. I love you 🌿🍒

This is a post about chronic pain. I have it. I bet a lot of you do too. Some of us talk about it. Others are afraid to, as it could cost them their jobs or their relationships or their sense of control in a chaotic world. In this way it’s very analogous to sexual trauma. There is also (as @ladygaga so wisely shared this week) a proven connection between chronic pain and trauma. Therefore, a lot of people- a lot of women- find their pain is activated by weeks like this one. On the day after Dr. Ford’s testimony I awoke with a start at 3am. It felt like every cell in my neck was singing. My ankles and wrists were weak and my fingers didn’t do their assigned job. Yesterday I felt like I was suspended in gel, and when I meditated a line of pain zipped from my neck to my foot. I’m sorry if I don’t answer your text or email, or if I can’t show up the way someone else would. I appear to be totally able bodied but it’s complex, and I am just trying to do everything required to maintain a life of joy and service. My work costs everything I have. This is fibromyalgia. It’s little understood and so even though I have a lot of knowledge and support it’s hard to shake the feeling I am crazy. But I’m not (at least not this way!) and you’re not. Your pain, whatever shape it takes, is yours and so it is real. I believe you when you say you hurt. I have learned time and time again how important it is to believe.

The last few days have been brutal, as we’ve watched a remarkably brave woman be strong armed by cowardly fools who aren’t fit to shine her shoes. I know it’s triggered pain in all of us, each of a different variety, but there is a common thread: shame. Shame is destructive. Shame kills. I have shame about my assaults. I have deep and impenetrable shame about when I’ve allowed my mind to be colonized and I’ve shamed another woman (may I learn from this shame. May I walk in the light. May I honor her, honor women always.) I have shame about speaking up and shame about staying quiet. For me the antidote to shame is connection. Today my brave best friend spoke about her own assault. She’s the coolest, smartest and funniest woman around. May you all hold each other close and remember you are part of a coven. I love you, I really do. 📷 by @mcleanstephenson

Hi, don’t mind me! Just showering lying down with my Starbucks cup full of La Croix (not sponsored.) In response to the sweatshirt debacle of yesterday, I’ve had some amazing dialogue with other women about representation, reclaiming negativity and size inclusive clothing brands. I follow some incredible fashion bloggers/designers who highlight this (not even tagging the models, actors and “influencers” who inspire me in the confidence dept) and have tagged a bunch of my true faves. But I want to hear from you! Because for my upcoming TV appearances -it’s gonna be a bad fall for those who hate me- I’ll be only repping brands that cater to ALL women.

I exercised my civic duty and it felt so good! They even gave me a sticker for each nipple. TBQH, I have never loved a candidate like I do @cynthiaenixon and it’s not just because we’ve both had sex on TV. She is truly a modern woman- she says what she wants, loves who she wants and orders the gd bagel she wants. But she also listens. She cares. She sees beyond her living room and wants to educate other people with privilege about the experience of those who don’t benefit from the same resources. She wants New York to fulfill its promise. From one complex lady to another, I agree. Give me back the city I love, where I was born and raised, and show us what leadership looks like, mama. No matter what happens tonight, I know I could not have committed my time and bounty to a more deserving person. The revolution will be televised. PS thank you to Kevin, the NYC cop who took this pic & framed it perfectly.

There is so much at stake right now - if often feels like we as New Yorkers, as women, are under attack. We need a governor who will fight with us - on everything from passing universal healthcare to protecting reproductive rights and women's bodies. Andrew Cuomo hasn't, but @cynthiaenixon will. New York has NEVER had a female governor. New York has NEVER had an openly gay governor. Our politics need to reflect our world + with women speaking up every day about and against mistreatment (often at the most systemic and deeply entrenched levels), fighting tirelessly for a seat at the table, Cynthia Nixon and the incredible success of this campaign so far has proven that women's voices need to be lifted up and represented at every level of government, now more than ever. Tomorrow's election is incalculably important. We are standing at the precipice of a new dawn in progressive politics. For the first time in a very long time, I feel hopeful. I feel empowered. I feel mobilized. I feel proud to vote for Cynthia Nixon as New York State's 57th Governor - and you should too.

For months I’ve been working on a collaboration with my friend Pia’s company LPA through parent company @revolve - sweatshirts that highlight quotes from prominent women who have experienced internet trolling & abuse. This is a cause very close to my heart and the proceeds were meant to benefit charities that help young women by empowering them to express themselves through writing and art. Without consulting me or any of the women involved, @revolve presented the sweatshirts on thin white women, never thinking about the fact that difference and individuality is what gets you punished on the Internet, or that lack of diversity in representation is a huge part of the problem (in fact, the problem itself.) As a result, I cannot support this collaboration or lend my name to it in any way. This isn’t meant to shame Pia or the great work she’s done with LPA. I am deeply disappointed in @revolve’s handling of a sensitive topic and a collaboration rooted in reclaiming the words of internet trolls to celebrate the beauty in diversity and bodies and experiences that aren’t the industry norm. *** I’d like to especially extend my love and support to @palomija, whose quote was the first to be promoted and mangled. She’s a hero of mine. Like me, she gave her quote in good faith and shared her vulnerability in order to support arts education and to spread her message of empowerment, and she wasn’t consulted in the marketing. Not an ounce of negativity should be sent her way. *** My only goal on this planet is to empower women through art and dialogue. I’m grateful to every woman who shared a quote and so disappointed that our words were not honored. As a result, I will be making a donation to the charity of every woman’s choice who was wronged with me and I hope that @revolve will join me with a contribution of their own. *** P.S. This Rubens painting makes me happy because it’s about women joining in love, but he didn’t recognize diversity at all- he just loved curvy butts. Prob

We didn’t take home videos, but @michelauder captured some footage circa 1988, sent to me by @arnoldfriend6 just a few minutes ago. So why am I weeping? Something about having been a child, full of pure awe on a dinky ride and crying “whoaaa” to nobody in particular. Something about the safety of my father’s 80s business-casual armpit. Something about knowing everything I’d do and that would be done to me and that those things really aren’t that different and that my job is to protect this tiny girl and to try and honor the tiny girl inside everyone else. We don’t always get it right. We try again. Whoaaa.

As many of you know, in the last 3 months my heart was stolen by an irascible 13 year old Yorkie named Bowie. After spending a lifetime with my sister @scotlan, her home now contained a baby and another on the way and Bowie’s crotchety old self wouldn’t condone it so she came to live with me, and what started as a tentative guardianship became a full scale obsession. We went to brunch and therapy and the set of a TV show and took at least 5 flights across the US. We laid our heads in a few very chic hotel rooms and walked up and down the river a million miles. She made me feel safe and strong in a sea of change and reminded me that joy needn’t be diminished by a bunch o’ imperfect body parts (she wielded her 3 teeth/3 working legs in style.) My head knew she was 91 in dog years, but my heart felt she was just a sweet baby. On August 13th this sweet baby old mama went to her final home. After a weekend of rapid decline, I knew it was time to let her go so Scotty and I (along with her super model baby Clementine and her wise, cozy husband @mf.goodtimes) came together to bid her farewell. It was peaceful and patient and loving. We laughed and cried like the family that Bowie has made us. Bowie left everyone who saw her, in the street or the airport or the Rite Aid, with a crazy smile. She kept me safe at night, even if it was just from the indistinct shadow of a tank top strewn over a lamp. She made Scotty and my friendship something eternal and deep and boundless. I am so lucky to have been her second mom. I love you Scotty, Clem, JJ and my darling @iolovesyou for capturing it all. Please eat a grilled chicken breast in honor of your second favorite glam rocker today. Meanwhile, I’ll be donating to @seespotrescued in her name, for dogs who don’t have homes and dogs who need new ones.

Today is National Leathercraft Day, National Relaxation Day and National Lemon Merengue Pie Day. It’s also the 9 month anniversary of my hysterectomy. I’ve never celebrated the 9 month anniversary of anything and I realized last night why that number feels so funny- I won’t ever do it the way I planned to. My body is mostly healed and every day I find a new bruise on my heart, but today I offer myself gratitude: from the most pained place, I somehow knew to choose myself. The purest glint of who we are and know we can be is always available to us, calm and true at our center. My friend Paul named my uterus Judy, and when she was being uppity we called her out, hence the tattoo on my ribs, which hurt like fuck even through the pain meds: #RIPJudy. Today I give thanks for Judy, for her graceful exit and for this body, which is stronger than I’ve ever given it credit for. Happy Giving Birth To Myself Day.

On the left: 138 pounds, complimented all day and propositioned by men and on the cover of a tabloid about diets that work. Also, sick in the tissue and in the head and subsisting only on small amounts of sugar, tons of caffeine and a purse pharmacy. On the right: 162 pounds, happy joyous & free, complimented only by people that matter for reasons that matter, subsisting on a steady flow of fun/healthy snacks and apps and entrees, strong from lifting dogs and spirits. Even this OG body positivity warrior sometimes looks at the left picture longingly, until I remember the impossible pain that brought me there and onto my proverbial knees.

The executive order President Trump signed does NOT go nearly far enough. Those children whose pictures we saw, whose cries we heard on recordings that barely scratched the surface, will still be held in prison-like conditions in detention centers. This is not what we do for asylum seekers. This is not America. But it is. For this reason, Voto Latino plans to continue its rally at Tornillo, TX (45 minutes outside of El Paso) on Sunday, June 24th at 9:00am. @jennikonner and I will be at the border with an amazing group of concerned friends, demanding to #endfamilydetention.

Yesterday I was due at work at 8am. Showed up, watched rehearsal, drank my Starbucks, chill times. But at 8:15 I started to feel sick. Chills, sore throat, rapid descent. So I told Jenni I had to go home. Now. It just felt urgent. I walked in the door and found Gia limp and wheezing. She died in my arms at 9:15 as we rushed to the vet. She called me home. I’m so glad I listened. #giamarieforever

Happy National Best Friends Day from @jennikonner who loves me despite appearances. Today of all days, this week of all weeks, treat the people you love most with warmth and open your expansive heart to them even when they’re tough. Jenni has seen me through some hellacious moments and made me believe I was still worth loving. She’s made room for me to be broken and scared. She doesn’t expect perfection. We could all use one of these and I hope you’ve found yours. If not, keep looking- she’s out there.

All youth deserve a chance to thrive. They deserve to feel safe, protected, valued and heard. It’s not enough to #WearOrange anymore, we have to speak truth to power. There should be no National Gun Violence Awareness day. It’s morbid. The kids we’ve lost this year and every year, at school, at home, walking in the rain eating candy, targeted for their race, targeted for the audacity of freedom—the magnitude of these senseless and barbaric acts grow daily. We have to work harder to get legislators to take action. The future depends on it. #Everytown 🧡

A man doesn't have time in his life to have time for everything. He doesn't have seasons enough to have a season for every purpose. Ecclesiastes Was wrong about that. A man needs to love and to hate at the same moment, to laugh and cry with the same eyes, with the same hands to throw stones and to gather them, to make love in war and war in love. And to hate and forgive and remember and forget, to arrange and confuse, to eat and to digest what history takes years and years to do. —Yehuda Amichai #jewishwisdom #sweatsuitwisdom #sweatsuitladyLAbaby

I didn’t think I could be any more amazed by @andrewrannells until I saw @boysbandbway, produced by my incomparable brother @mrrpmurphy ❤️ This has always been a favorite play (gay theater is my erogenous zone) and Mart Crowley is a real dynamo. But Joe Mantello and this cast brought it to new heights and Andrew, sweet hilarious wise Andrew. You were so good that I even believed your name was “Larry.” Lucky to have shared a buncha screen time and even some screen kisses with such a genius. Get your tickets!!!

This is a love note to @taylorswift 🌹 I was a fan before I was a friend and her music formed the soundtrack to so much love & loss & discovery- late nights writing and early mornings weepy on the way to work. She had perfectly distilled the feeling of growing into yourself. When we became friends 6 years ago I didn’t know she’d also prove to be the loyal and hilarious cat lady who loved me through every rough moment and the triumphant ones too. She never lets me feel alone or less than, she’s a fierce girl gang leader and a total mensch. Tonight I was just a fan again, one of 60k who got our souls rocked by her artistry, her open heart and her killer gams. Love you forever, Tay.

Happy Birthday to me! I’m not gonna lie- 31 was kind of a bitch to the birthday bitch. It’s no secret I experienced some big losses, some deep pain, had moments of true unwieldiness. I try to use those experiences as a way to connect to people who need to be reminded that their humanity is not a character defect but an essential strength. I often need to be reminded of that, especially in an industry where everyone seems to be able to pop out 5 perfect kids while never gaining weight and walking easily in stilettos. I am not and can never be that lady. Distance brings clarity though and I’m so excited for 32 to shine a light on the years that came before it and illuminate how I can make them matter. I’m so grateful to the people who loved me through this year, the ones who reminded me that I was valuable to them in any form. I love the folks who follow this account madly and truly- you’ve offered me grace. To a year of health and peace for YOU. Always your girl, LD P.S. Sorry mom! It’s all about ME!

Avery Trufelman found the (very sexy) love poems she recorded in middle school for her 12 year-old boyfriend. Who later turned out to be gay. Avery decided to reconnect with him, and they have a funny and heartfelt conversation about love and growing up on the latest episode of #LennySays on @spotify

Y’all, the sucky part about having a hysterectomy is that you can’t get pregnant, but whatever you got going on down south, you still need to have MOTHERFUCKING SAFE SEX! I ❤️ that my girls at @lola are making this so personal with their new line of sexual health products, easy to order and delightful to behold. Do it safely, says this #friendoflola 💦 🍆 🍑

The first thing people ask when I say my mother is a photographer is “wow, you must have so many amazing pictures of you!” While there are a couple of great childhood snaps, they are often by an aunt or my father—really anyone BUT my mom. Her work has focused primarily on dolls and objects. But when she started to take these portraits of people (all in body paint) I actually suggested to her that I’d be the perfect subject. At first she was unmoved but after months of nagging relented and she even let me choose my own inspiration photo (Audrey Hepburn, obvs, cuz curvy girls can do Audrey too.) The entire outfit here- and I mean everything- is body paint and the lens is so specifically my mothers. I learned more about her when she took a picture of me than I have in 25 years of therapy. Her show of new work- up now at Salon 94 in New York City- is stunning and emotional and unusual. And I feel so lucky to have been graced by her lens. You’re forever my creative inspiration, mama @lauriesimmons 📷 - here is Some New: Lena (pink) 2018
