In Pursuit's Greatest Hits

Plus some oldies but goodies

This is the last “vacation” installment of ye olde newsletter, and I can’t wait to share some very juicy interviews once I’m back (and some reflections about taking a break from social media).

In the meantime, here are some of my fave newsletter editions (and some of your faves)!

• The Instagram post that started it all.

• On whiteness and nostalgia and a longing for a performance of motherhood that never really existed.

• Burpees, self-care, and my many mommies.

• Fuck Mother’s Day.

• It’s called Ballerina Farm (not Jazz Farm).

• What’s the point? (of this newsletter, of cultural criticism, of interrogating norms).

• On the intersection of beauty culture and motherhood.

And here are some of my favorite pieces I’ve written for other outlets you may have missed!

• Complicated feelings about bread pudding (and mothers-in-law).

• Me getting deep about the shit they write on the back of shampoo bottles.

• If you’ve ever thought Mama Bear should divorce Papa Bear, this one is for you.

• On motherhood being more than I dreamed of and barely enough.

• Nightbitch for life.

• Meghan Markle is not ok.

• New moms are exhausted and no one cares.

Happy weekend! And please please please hit “reply” to this email if you’ve encountered any WTFs in your online travels recently and want to share. It’s amazing what being off social media will do to eradicate the WTFs in your life.

Not WTFing the sunset (or the beach. or the lack of children in this particular moment)
