I wrote a little something with my husband, Norm Pearlstine. We share a bed, and now we share a byline!

Forget the 51st state business proposed by DJT. Put Canada and @mark-carney.bsky.social in charge of the whole shebang.

Dave McKenna digs into the sad state of Pimlico, which began under Frank Stronach. It captures Stronach's chronic mismanagement & erratic decision-making, which turned the track into something shabby & dangerous.

My husband, Norman Pearlstine, was busy.

He's written a fantastic piece for @fortune.com about Henry Luce and the American Century....and how Donald Trump is bringing that Century to an end.

A devastating piece about the corporate enablers who helped the Fayeds get women alone where they were sexually exploited.

I experienced similar as an intern at Magna International & Frank Stronach sleazed on me.

These enablers should all be ashamed of themselves.

Guilty!

I've found #babygirl to be a conversation-starter.

I was at a dinner party this week, even, where the movie came up. Knowing that I'd written 2 novels about BDSM, the other guests sought out my thoughts on the movie. So fun!

‘Babygirl’ Is Starting Conversations About Sex, Kink and Desire
Audiences may not be able to agree on how erotic the director Halina Reijn’s erotic thriller is, but it’s starting rich conversations.

Writer/Director #HalinaReijn in her movie #babygirl
poses some juicy questions about "who has the power?" Is it Romy the CEO, or Samuel the intern who's dominating her?

I have a theory that goes beyond D/s or job titles, & here I dig into who's *really* in charge.

Very smart analysis of the movie #Babygirl by Chantal Gautier, a sex therapist. She digs into shame, consent, etc, that were depicted in the film. Her thoughts align with mine, regarding Halina Reijn's savvy representation of dominance & submission in the movie.

I saw #Babygirl by Halina Reijn & had some thoughts about its depiction of Kink/BDSM. From the use of safewords/affirmative consent, its depiction of shame, & even an exploration of the gap between pervy fantasies & pervy realities, the film is very savvy & sensitive.

My husband, Norm Pearlstine, has a piece out today about Trump, the press, and all those billionaires who are now kissing Trump's ring (some who also own news outlets!)

Had a wonderful lunch with @mxvalentina.bsky.social.... We talked about kink, Wall Street, art and mutual friends....

It feels great to know that my novel #BoldStrokes is in her elegant, mischievous hands.

And "Mistress Vanessa" would do "unsparing criticism" so, SOOOO well.

Kudos to @kenwhite.bsky.social for understanding this is often a premium service provided -- consensually -- by an expert... And it's not for whiners...
/3 Also “unsparing criticism” doesn’t sound like something an adult complains about. It sounds like something an adult pays $600 an hour for from a lady named Mistress Vanessa in a basement apartment in SoHo.

Upon learning of the serious charges against Frank Stronach this summer, I got writing about my own experiences with the man...

The abuse of power I experienced when I was a 19yo engineering intern and he was the 54yo CEO of Magna was shabby and unwelcome.

Opinion: I had sex with Frank Stronach when I was 19. I’ve wrestled with its meaning ever since
What wasn’t clear to me then was the infrastructure around Mr. Stronach that helped sate his appetites. I didn’t stand a chance
