#67: Take It or Leave It
A weekly drop of things I love
Take It or Leave It is a weekly highlight series for paid subscribers. Pretty much every Friday, I share a quick hit of things I’m loving.
Most of my writing is long-form and requires time for research between essays. Hopefully, this helps fill in the gaps for you with new finds (or things you want to revisit).
If not, all good. Take it or leave it ✌️
Hi! Let’s start with a few ICYMIs:
For my latest newsletter essay, I wrote about time: what we’ve lost & what we have left. I also wrote about hope: not in our leaders, but in each other. This piece came together during a recent
writing session, and I’m grateful for how people have been able to connect with it. Tap below to read & listen.
I got the opportunity to be a guest on the What You Don’t Hear podcast with Ross Theisen. This is probably the most in-depth I’ve gotten about my creative process and perspective on any podcast. We discuss finding my passion for writing at a young age, how that led to the formation of my newsletter and Car Window Poetry as an adult, and how I’ve maintained my passion for words through lots of ups and downs. Hope you enjoy!
Got my hands on a few print copies of (614) Magazine’s October issue! I wrote about how a wildly-popular TikTok video breathed new life into Columbus, Ohio‘s oldest Chinese restaurant. I never aspired to write for a magazine—and now that it’s happening, it’s fun getting to see my writing in print 🥲
