Hi, I’m Edith, and this is a newsletter with links, personal writing, and comics about my life. I’d love to know what you think; please feel free to reply to this email!
Elsewhere/Links I enjoyed:
“You get up from your date to go to the bathroom and—surprise—a seam! ‘Who is this mysterious babe?’ your date will think.” Mari Andrew’s week of outfits makes me want to wear more dresses. [Cup of Jo]
“...a great sensitivity fortified by artisanal bitchiness.” Lauren Oyler on Rachel Cusk. [The New Republic]
“Northern California mushroom and slime mold fan. The smaller they are, the more they fascinate me!” I love this tiny-mushroom-photography account. [Marin_Mushrooms/Instagram]
Spiralbound links (this is the comics site I run): “I answered questions in pantomime: I explained that I was flying ... to my beloved husband ... who works as a programmer...” Also: “I’m not Black; my hair is Black.” And: What to do when inspiration isn’t striking.
“You have to keep them happy because they have to buy the yarn.” [Love Crafts]
“When we got home I blended it all up with ice, poured it into my largest size dachshund-themed Tervis Tumbler, and drank the oiliest mimosa I’ve ever had.” Laura Hazard Owen tries a German Labor-Induction Cocktail. [I’ll Be Right Back]
“Hey.” [JohnEarly/Twitter]
Bonus recommendation! My friend Megan recently started a photography/greeting card shop on Etsy, and I love it, not just because it is named after me. This is my favorite card, I think.
