Hey friends,
Hope you’re all hanging in there. I just got home from a super quick trip to visit BFF of the show Mckenzee, as some of you may have seen on her Instagram. It was very cute! I saw geese and ducks and chickens and other birds and prairie dogs and normal dogs and deer and Mckenzee’s two cat sons, and it w...

Hey friends,
This is one of those weeks where I put off the newsletter until the last minute, hoping that I’d eventually come up with something interesting to say, and it simply did not happen. I spent the last two days biking cumulatively 42 miles to look at apartments that I absolutely will not be chosen to live in....

Hey friends,
Hope you’re all hanging in there. I’m trying to wrap up the Fast & Furious zine this weekend but it turns out that a book has so many pages! What goes on the copyright page? What is the title page for? What do we put on the back cover?? I frantically texted my friend yesterday like “Do we need an ...

Hey friends,
Hope you’re hanging in there. Did you know that everywhere is loud?? Construction sites are loud but coffee shops are also loud, especially when they roast their own beans. Just something I’m noticing today for no reason as I try to make my little podcasts.

Hey friends,
Hope you’re all hanging there. Did you know that the brownie batter swirl at Dunkin’ Donuts is vegan? You can just swirl that stuff into anything. Like a $2 cold brew. Or a bagel, probably.
