Like the mirror and the moon, let's reflect

some thoughts on season one and some kind words from paid subscribers!

I slept in this morning and woke up at 440am. Ugh, the day is basically over…But I deserve it. I've been working hard.

Lot to unpack there. Besides the rather sus definitions of early and late, clock-wise, there exists in that opening salvo an even more insidious belief. Did ya see it?

I deserve it?? Yuck! Since when does one need to earn the right to sleep in?

Halfway through season one!

Season one started on October 10 and now its Nov 3 which feels like we're just about halfway!

If you’re new here and want to ketchup on what’s happened so far, here’s a full season recap page with all the essays and podcasts and everything.

R-E-F-L-E-C-T

I wrote a lil reflection on what’s happened so far with my thoughts and feels and thinks that I just shared in a Substack chat. The comments will be a safe space by which I mean it's literally a safe inside of which we can hang out and feel okay because - oh I forgot to tell you, we're doing a heist and we're in the safe and we just gotta get all the good loot outta here and escape before the authorities come here which *checks watch* should be in a few minutes. So yea its less a safe space and more of a stressful space inside a safe but hey, if that ain't America, what is?
