I bought one of Martha Vanderhoop’s gorgeous pieces when I visited Aquinnah during the Martha’s Vineyard Book Festival last year. It looks like this, except mine is a pendant, not earrings—I love it so much www.hatmarchagifts.com/designsbymar...

It's been raining on Noepe since Friday afternoon; the 9" glass vase on the table on our deck overflowed overnight & there's another 30 hours of rain in the forecast. Through the blurry skylight above the desk in my attic office I see trees swaying in the wind. And, as always, I'm back in Fanaye.
When the heavens opened over Fanaye. A rain song meditation.
Moments lost in time, like tears in rain.

On the island of Noepe, also known as Martha's Vineyard, oak trees predominate. These trees bud & bring forth leaves ~ 1 month later than other on-island trees. And they produce one absolute fucktonne of pollen before they grace us with their leaves, which announce summer. May is oak pollen hell. 1/

"This 4th of July is yours, not mine."
Frederick Douglass spoke on the island of Noepe in the towns now commonly known as Oak Bluffs and Edgartown. On this July 4th day in 2026, we reflect on words from Frederick Douglass. Listen 🎧

I live on the island of Noepe (AKA Martha's Vineyard), so naturally we have an outdoor shower. From late March through mid November it's all I use. There's a nail on the wall where I hang my bottle-opener.

Today's visit at the #ECOWAS joint border post at #Akanu (Ghana) and #Noepe (Togo) revealed fascinating insights on the tension between bilateral border management and regional mobility law, manifesting the - at times - disparity between 'law on paper' and 'law in practice'.

On the exotic isle of Noepe (also called Martha's Vineyard), which has been my home lo these one score and eleven years, "CVS" is unknown. I purchase my prescribed concoctions from Conroy Apothecary in West Tisbury.

Really fucking good interview w author- professor Joseph Lee, about his new book, Nothing More of This Land: Community, Power, and the Search for Indigenous Identity. He’s a member of Aquinnah Wampanoag, a place the celebrity summer scene knows as Martha’s Vinyard.

I learned a lot about the history of Martha’s Vineyard thanks to this book, or Noepe as the Aquinnah Wampanoag people have called it for centuries. I think many people in the United States see Martha’s Vineyard just as an affluent vacation destination, but in reality…

My 3 children (youngest of whom is now 38) are all Tisbury Tigers: graduates of Tisbury (elementary) school. Which means that that all completed the (7th grade? 8th?) requirement to collect leaves from 30 different species of Noepe trees. "It's impossible!" the kids all say. "There's only oaks!"/2

The Wampanoag and neighboring Native nations in present-day New England practiced rituals of giving thanks long before they had first contact with European settlers.

One of these rituals was Cranberry Day, an annual Wampanoag holiday to celebrate the cranberry harvest.

Cranberry Day celebrates an age-old Wampanoag tradition on Noepe aka Martha's Vineyard
Members of the Aquinnah Tribe of Wampanoag have lived on the island for over 10,000 years.

"For so long I had thought of identity as something that's imposed on you from the outside, and it felt like I had a limited amount of choice in it," says author Joseph Lee.
