Eat cake not crumbs

Wondering why I’m eating a forkful of applesauce cake sans eggs—it’s called survival. Sometimes, you just need to sit down, grab a fork, and indulge.

Welcome to YHD, your monthly slice of sparkle and levity in a city that’s equal parts hustle and charm.

Whether you’re dodging Metro delays or trying to squeeze in a Smithsonian visit during lunch, consider this your personal survival guide. And because we all need a moment to reset, each edition will feature a Sunday Pause with Simone—thoughtful essays to help you refocus on what's important. Plus, we will share details about our newest episode of Ask Your AunTea podcast, a weekly podcast hosted by my BFF, Mariessa Terrell.

Now—about those excess forks circulating around the District. Why not put them to good use? Eat cake. Share cake.

Be the cake,
Simone Butterfly
