START HERE: The Essential Collection

LISTEN: if you’ve already been to my About page, then you already know that this newsletter is about the stuff nobody warns you about: aging immigrant parents who refuse technology, melting down over a chicken sandwich after your friend gets shot, paying $343 for a mailbox key, and the specific kind of exhaustion that comes from being the family’s designated adult.

It’s messy. It’s specific. It’s often written at 4am.

If you’re wondering whether this newsletter is for you, start with these 10 posts. Some are available to the public; others are only available with a subscription. No matter what, though, these posts are the ones that made readers say, “holy shit, I thought I was the only one,” or “this is way too relatable,” or “are you okay? (Seriously though, are you?)”
