Doing it Dolly Parton Style
•••
Wear whatever the hell you want, as long as you know it’s beautiful. Force the culture to catch up to you instead of waiting for permission to be yourself. Be undeniably good. Sidestep conversational bear traps with humor and unrelenting compassion. Refuse to be petty. Show the world what you believe not by talking about it, but by consistently doing it. Be unfailingly generous and giving while keeping a corner of your life sacred and private. Be perennially willing to inconvenience yourself in service to others without ever being a doormat. And never stop trying to show people the beauty in the world and within themselves, no matter how much shit they throw at you for it.

Folkist Work
•••
This is my slow-pulse newsletter about using old folk practices as medicine for modern life. A combination of personal storytelling (I used to work for The Moth) Big Ideas (I currently work for a think tank) and Folk Magic (I’m a life-long Irish musician with roots in oral tradition) it’s too specific to be for everyone, but might be for you?

Playing Irish Trad Music
•••
So extremely uncool for so much of my life that it’s somehow a little cool again? Spend decades learning something you will never be a master of. If you’re a woman, deal with decades of misogyny that still feels somehow like deep love and community. You can sing in the Irish language, which might be the least monetizeable skill on earth yet has earned you many pints in foreign countries. A secret passport that opens a hidden pocket of culture anywhere you travel.

Camping as a spiritual practice
•••
Because my Roman Empire is thinking about The Enclosures, I love a pop-up utopian project on public land. And what is a big friend group camping trip if not a utopian experiment? Yes, sleeping on the ground and shitting in the woods are less comfortable than what you might be used to. But since when is comfort the only metric of a good life? Look: the stars are clearer now than you’ve ever seen them. The company is impeccable. There is another way to live.

The Drug Story Podcast
•••
Each episode follows a different pharmaceutical through the lens of diagnosis, treatment, and side effects. The kind of well-researched, tightly produced, super interesting and expertly hosted podcast that has been thin on the ground since the Vulture Capitalists discovered and enshittified our audio platforms. A rare gem!

A Craigslist Roommate From 2009
•••
Before everything was an app and when anything on the internet involved maybe getting murdered, you desperately needed a $400 room while working full time as a janitor and going to trade school at night. You stumbled onto the jankiest apartment in the world full of the most magical people. Almost two decades later, your art teacher goddess bestie is the best thing Craigslist ever made happen! Plus you get to reminisce about the landlord who had a plunger attached to a snow shovel handle and the shy neighbor who gave you a giant box of gay porn on VHS.

Listening to Garth Stevenson

Stand-up bass with haunting organic-feeling production, sometimes played for whales! The perfect vibey thing to listen to in most situations.
