#44: 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 ✌️
ICYMI: For my latest essay, I reflected on a beloved college restaurant and the places and people we call home. This is a piece from October 2022, revisited and revised—now with an audio voiceover!
Since this piece dropped, it’s been fun getting to chat with people about the food establishments they miss most—especially the ones that are no longer around.
Here’s the link to read or listen to my latest:
I Lost My Queen Too
Every few months, I like to revisit the essays I published before I began my newsletter. This is one from October 2022 that always makes me smile, a reflection on my favorite college restaurant and the places and people we call home. I hope you enjoy it.
Also! Feels Like Home hit 900 newsletter subscribers!!! That’s crazy 🤧
Earlier this week, I went back and read the first essay I published on Substack. When I began this newsletter in December 2022, I was interested in exploring what writing could become for me.
Throughout 2022, I wrote because my homies were writing. I’m still writing because of my homies and Elizabeth and my family and the city and all of you. We’re still here figuring it out together. Thank you for helping me be & become.
