2025-06-16 “Goodnight Thoughts” by Emma (born 1861)

Hey y’all!

We had a meetin’ earlier today with Shy Ryder and a couple of folks who might become major donors to the Stop-Gap project. It wasn’t just polite conversation—real decisions got made, and real support might be comin’. I mostly sat quiet, took notes, and answered when they asked, but I could feel it… the kind of moment where things shift, just a little.

Afterward, I came upstairs, changed into somethin’ more comfortable, and just settled in. Me an’ Merritt ended up sittin’ in the common room for a bit.

I told him about the meetin’—what Shy said, what the donors asked, how I was tryin’ not to fidget too much in my nice shoes. He told me about his latest buildin’ site headaches and how Kent finally got the electrical team to stop runnin’ things through the wrong conduit.

Emma checks in from the living room of her apartment in Brooklyn.  Emma Knox, a young woman with wavy light brown hair and youthful features, sits casually on a light-gray couch in her Brooklyn apartment at Tom Jenkins’s American Heritage complex. She wears a soft white, off-the-shoulder T-shirt and medium-wash jeans. Her expression is relaxed and gently smiling as she looks toward the camera. One hand rests lightly against her cheek, and a framed art print hangs on the wall behind her. The lighting is natural and soft, capturing a calm, lived-in evening moment in her home.

It wasn’t a big dramatic moment. Just the kind where you lean into the quiet and let someone share the day with you. And that? That’s enough sometimes.

Night y’all. I’m headin’ to bed with a calm heart and a soft pillow.

—Emma
