My first post-maternity leave newsletter dropped this morning so we took a celebratory stroll

My first post-maternity leave newsletter dropped this morning so we took a celebratory stroll

HAD A BABY. Status report is she’s perfect…extremely soft hands and feet, great squeaks, cheeks for days, excellent comedic timing re poop and pee, whistle-tone cry to rival Mariah Carey’s. One month in and Avi’s already taught her about the assassination of JFK (inside job etc) and I’ve recently transitioned from hurting everywhere/hormonal crying to panicking about her growing up, so you could say we’re hitting all the parenthood milestones 🫶🏻 Wowowow. Craziest thing I’ve ever done…can’t recommend giving birth specifically…but I’m alive! And so is she! Meet Sunny ☀️

No words can express how much joy, tenderness, and wonder Bug brought to my life every day for 8 years. I didn’t really understand cats before I met him, and thank god he showed me. He was the sweetest little companion, full of surprises until the end. Witnessing his life was the greatest gift, and taking care of him the greatest honor. Kiki, my perfect baby, I’ll miss you forever ❤️🐰❤️ 2014-2023

“Last year I turned off comments on my newsletter. I definitely had an issue in 2020 where I would spiral anytime somebody left me a mean comment. That was part of the inspiration—to shut off the valve to this immediate public feedback to everything I put out, which meant sacrificing the positive comments as well. It was just sort of like, ‘I actually don’t think I need this constant barrage of feedback from strangers.’
“I think it’s normal to want to coexist with the people you’re writing for or speaking to in a tangible way. Sometimes I’m doing cultural criticism or making claims that people disagree with, and I think that’s totally fine. I definitely toy with wanting to have a healthy discourse and not feel like I’m speaking into an empty room, which is part of the reason that I’ve been seeking out more of it in my actual life, like talking to other writers and getting an editor and bringing in that outside perspective from people who are known and trusted to me. I also have a feedback form. So if people really have a burning bit of feedback to give me, they can give it to me, but my writing is not like an Amazon product with five or one star reviews under it.
“I wrote about this a long time ago when I first shut them off, but it made me rethink how we talk about the term ‘community’ on the internet. A lot of times, it was just shorthand for a vibrant comment section, and I don’t think that necessarily always represents a community. Or, those people might be in community with each other, but they’re not necessarily in community with the person who’s providing the comment section. There are not equal stakes at hand. It made me think about what community meant and how to actually get it in a way that felt more meaningful to me.”
