"In the scheme of things, this matters so little. It’s not peace in the Middle East, it’s not ending tuberculosis, it doesn’t help the climate crisis, it doesn’t save anyone’s life, and it doesn’t heal any communities." But Emily, small things like this DO help heal communities! I see you bravely unmasking and shedding neurotypical norms and donning your pajamas in the NYT like a total fucking boss, and I sit here, as a fellow autistic woman and writer, who is also most comfortable (and currently) in my pajamas, and I feel SEEN and valid, and like maybe someday I can wear my PJs in the NYT times too--or at the very least, to pick up my kids from school--and I think to myself if a total badass like Emily Nagoski can be her most comfortable autistic self, then maybe I can be too.
Read the article last night and it was great and really well timed for conversations I've been having with my long-term spouse and other friends in long-term relationships. Can't wait for the book. For the record though: the pajamas were one of the first things I noticed and I literally said *out loud* (reading by myself), "Oh those are amazing." Gratitude to you for continuing to redefine what it means to be professional, beautiful, and authentic.
There was so much in here that I needed to hear. I just signed up to work with a wealth coach and even just typing that feels wrong, foreign and like I'm a big fat liar. What wealth? Who do I think I am? A low income childhood will definitely make you question anything to do with money, especially if it feels unnecessary. I'm so glad you bought the damn pajamas. You deserve them, you really do and I can easily see that in you. Hopefully we all get so lucky as to see that we all deserve nice things that bring us joy. If I'm ever in the market for $400 pjs, you bet your ass these are the ones I'm coming for.
I’ve already read the article (loved it) and I had no idea these were pajamas, though I did note your slippers, so I feel like maybe I should have realized? But my reaction to what you were wearing was - Oh my God, I love that print! So, home run!
It was a little funny and very unexpected to stumble across my name while just reading your newsletter. I thought the pajamas were super cute. Photograph more fat people, publications!

I love everything about this. Thank you for your writing, your transparency, your humor, and your work.
You're always worth full price.

Thank you for sharing this powerful context into the NYT photoshoot and modeling the authenticity we all aspire to.
I really enjoyed this. Thank you for sharing. And I must know -- even if they're sold out -- where you got those dream pajamas!
I love the pyjamas and I love this post.
You look absolutely fantastic in your NYT photo! Beautiful.
Thank you for your wisdom in Come As You Are, Principles of Pleasure(Netflix yall) and now Come Together.
You’re an inspiration for all of us. I want you to feel real good about this ♥️
This was such a delicious, celebratory read. Thank you

Yes!! A great pair of pajamas brings me so much joy. Kudos to you to wear them in the NYT article! I love it.
Excellent PJs. You look fab. 👏
I also live in comfy pjs. And you look fabulous - they suit you so well and I’m so glad you splurged on yourself for this.
