☆ Sally Kempton, Rising Star Journalist Turned Swami, Dies at 80
▼ + stars: | 2023-07-16 | by ( Penelope Green | More About Penelope Green | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

Sally Kempton, who was once a rising star in the New York journalism world and a fierce exponent of radical feminism, but who later pivoted to a life of Eastern asceticism and spiritual practice, died on Monday at her home in Carmel, Calif. She was 80. Her brother David Kempton said the cause was heart failure, adding that she had suffered from a chronic lung condition. Ms. Kempton’s literary pedigree was impeccable. Her father was Murray Kempton, the erudite and acerbic newspaper columnist and a lion of New York journalism, the ranks of which she joined in the late 1960s as a staff writer for The Village Voice and a contributor to The New York Times. She was a sharp and talented reporter — although she sometimes felt she hadn’t properly earned her place as a journalist and owed it largely to her father’s reputation.

☆ After years of searching, I finally found the perfect work bag — it converts from a tote to a backpack and has a hidden compartment for an extra pair of shoes

Learn moreI've been searching for the best women's work bag for what feels like an eternity, and while I've found some nice options over the years, nothing has ever really checked off all the boxes. I've found that work bags often fall into two categories: a utilitarian nylon backpack that's highly functional but not that cute, or a chic leather tote you'd be proud to carry but has no dedicated pockets or shoulder support. I recently discovered the Caraa Studio Tote, and I was blown away by how its design bridged the gap between the two. The sleek nylon exterior would look right at home at the office, and the smart interior organization is just as notable.

The 2022 midterm elections ignited what LGBTQ advocates called yet another “rainbow wave,” with over 430 lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer candidates emerging victorious. Across the country in Oregon, fellow Democrat and lesbian Tina Kotek was in a much tighter three-way gubernatorial contest. Lesbians and other queer women were successful in down-ballot races as well, according to advocacy groups and political action committees that have been tracking these races. “These are people who have taken the normal political path and are ready for the big leap,” she said, referring to lesbian election winners. “Queer women, just like all other women, understand that we’re in a really fraught time here in America.”Follow NBC Out on Twitter, Facebook & Instagram.

But realistically, buying a quality leather jacket can become a substantial financial investment — one that most guys aren't ready to make (myself included). Most worthwhile options cost around $700 or more, which, for a while, meant that my only chance of getting a premium yet affordable leather jacket would be in a thrift store. That was, until I found out one of my favorite shoe startups was making really nice leather jackets without the retail markup. Very seldom will you find a genuine leather jacket of this quality at an under-$500 price. According to a currency inflation calculator, the $700 my dad spent on his leather jacket in 1996 is equivalent to $1,121.24 in today's dollars.

With such a distinguished accolade in footwear and a name like Thursday Boot Company, you'd think that the startup had every intention on staying in footwear, but that's not the case. Aside from the attractive colorways available, what I like about the Thursday Briefcase is its size and the optional shoulder strap. On top of that, many options don't have a shoulder strap, making them handheld only. With the Thursday Boot Company Briefcase, I was able to fit everything I'd normally carry in my backpack when commuting.
