midweek jollies vol. 9

reading print and seeing authors live - oh, and Bleachers

Happy Wednesday and welcome to midweek jollies, a paid subscriber perk here at The Rewilded Life. The horrors continue to persist in the world writ large, but for this little sliver of time all you have to think about are various and sundry pleasantries. Included this week: the irreplaceable role of print magazines, why we should all attend author events, and resurrecting old Bleachers albums.

AND A REMINDER! Tomorrow is May 1st, which means it’s time for our monthly Rewilded (Night)Life. Paid subscribers can join me live on the Substack app for a brief time of restorative soul-nurturing by way of candlelight, a read-aloud, and a simple guided meditation. We meet at 8:30pm CST, so come in your jammies with your evening tea. (Don’t worry, you won’t be on camera.)

The absolutely delightful Amanda Montell reading from Wordslut, a little miracle of a book pop-culturizing the field of feminist socio-linguistics, at Iowa State University last week.
