I’ve been spending more and more time here on Substack and less on Instagram lately (as I’m sure you’ve noticed). There’s something so refreshing about stepping away from the mindless scroll and instead choosing to read and create with intention—without the pressure to keep up every single day. It feels more natural, less competitive, and I truly appreciate all of you for being here. The Ray List is a reader-supported publication.

It’s absolutely insane that we’re already halfway through May. New York has been beautiful lately, but today’s another rainy one—a perfect day to play catch-up. I’ve officially swapped out my cashmere for cotton, boots for sandals and have started thinking about fresh additions to my summer wardrobe. There’s something so satisfying about pulling out old favorites and mixing in a few new pieces for the season ahead. Also—I’m officially bored of coming up with titles for my Substack.

Readers of this newsletter know I spent a lot of time last year covering the Grants Pass v. Johnson case, which was the biggest Supreme Court case concerning the rights of homeless people in decades. It came down last June and the justices said cities could enforce local anti-camping bans even if there’s no adequate shelter available for homeless people to go to, that that wouldn’t constitute cruel and unusual punishment.

I’ve had my hands full these past few weeks with clients (why content has been so slow… thank you for bearing with me). Every few months, it feels like everything explodes all at once — but I love it, and it’s always so much fun. I thought I’d share some of my clients’ favorites and what they’re wearing and buying as we transition to warmer weather.

It’s finally starting to feel like spring and the warmer weather has finally arrive in New York. Updated Shopbop heartsI’ve been exclusively wearing bras from EBY lately (so far I have the Relief bra in both black and nude). I like to minimize the appearance of my boobs in tighter tees and tanks during spring and summer, and finding the right bra (and tanks… more on this later) is usually such a struggle. But I’m really loving these — they’re supportive, thin, and super smoothing.

Earlier this year Idaho proposed becoming the first state in the nation to abolish state child-staff ratios in daycare, a major deregulatory move for what is already one of the least regulated states. The bill authors said they wanted to make it easier for people to open up home-day cares, which are less expensive to run and less expensive to attend. It’s part of a broader push we’re seeing nationally where conservatives say it’s time to let market forces solve what government subsidies haven’t.
