Thank you for all of your stories! I missed your piece on boygenius because it was written before I started following you (and I only discovered them via their SNL performance and was instantly hooked). I've bookmarked that one to go back and read and look back into your other pieces as well.

I appreciate your patience here, Alison! Thank you for the love, and I appreciate you making time for anything I write. Have you listened to Lucy Dacus’ new album?

YES! So good. I continue to follow their solo projects because wow are they all great musicians. And I did read your article on boygenius - and love the discussion around romantic friendships.

How lucky are we for two years of Feels Like Home?! I could be mistaken, but I'm fairly certain the first piece I ever read of yours was the one about what men say to each other on birthdays to remain masculine, and in that vein -- compliments and adulations! 🤣❤️

Hahaha thank you! Yes I believe that was the one – that was actually my first essay of the year. It’s been a gift getting to know you and work with you this year. Excited for what’s to come!
