Hi friends!
I had the time of my life yapping on the Substack app this morning. Thank you so, so, so much for the invite,
! And thank you so, so, so much to everyone who joined us live. I loved seeing your names pop up. Special shout out to my “Unhinged Aunt Sandi” and who talked up her Old Man Summer hat in the comments and already prompted two inquiries about buying one.I know I really dropped the ball on the hats this summer (oopsies!), but if you still want one, leave me a comment and I will try to arrange a super limited run.
ANYHOO …
Sarah and I covered a lot, including: Old Man Summer, the state of politics on social media, and how insane it was when women on TikTok became obsessed with that anglerfish who swam into the sun and then perished.
Here are the links to the posts we discussed:
And here’s the infamous New Yorker piece in which I said: “If you’re staying attached to the status quo right now, you will be unhinged, because there is nothing there.”
I said that in November of 2023, by the way. How far we’ve journeyed from the hinge since. OY FUCKING VEY.
When I started writing about the Age of Unhingement™, it launched a whole new era of me putting myself out there and I was nervous that everyone would think I had finally lost it. Instead, every single time I do something new, I am blown away by the support of this community. You will never know just how much love and support you actually have if you don’t let people show you.
I need to descend back into my writing bunker in the next couple of days and will have more for you guys next week. But since I’m emailing you today, I obviously have to say:
Gen Z vs. Nepalese corruption.

Stay sane-ish out there!
