A Smorgasbord of Recommendations

From children's books full of miniature puppets to essays about archiving! Let's GOOOOO

WHAT’S UP!!!! WELCOME TO MY FIRST NEWSLETTER FOR PAID SUBSCRIBERS! 𝒱𝐼𝒫𝓈 𝑜𝓃𝓁𝓎!

I’ve always felt like writing for my audience on Substack was warm and cozy and safe- but writing to an even smaller group of you feels excellent! It’s book club, sitting in a circle in English class for a socratic seminar vibes (shoutout to my high school English teacher Tonya who is literally a newsletter VIP. Keeping the vibes correct!).

My truth is as such: I have, luckily, had a January full of fun, paid work, which is a major gift considering that work was…scarce for the second half of 2022. I’m very grateful to be working, even if that means that I sent my January newsletters (1) and (2) days before February starts. Right under the wire! Because of said business, this first VIP newsletter (lol going to keep calling it that) is going to be chill- I’m going to give you a thorough list of recommendations of things that have been inspiring me lately.

Next month, though, (February) I’m planning to send you all some snail mail. So please do reply to this with a good mailing address. If I don’t hear from ya, I’ll reach out. :-) Also, please tell me if you’d rather not receive IRL mail and I won’t bug you!
