Woah. Hi. What a week year minute decade month etc. etc.
Just wanted to check in and say hi. For all my cuties in America, just please know that I am WITH YOU and nervy and excited and hopeful and dreadful and kinda all of it in one little ball. I’ve eaten toast and a cookie and a protein bar today. I find it really stressful to look at the news and not even know what you’re looking at — like when you’re reading a book and reading the same line 23098 times because for whatever reason, it’s not sinking in.
I really want Biden to win, because I really want America to feel better and I know that Trump is not the answer. I really want to feel hope, and like we care about the earth and animals and fellow humans and all the good and right things. Also, I really wanna get married and trumperton is not wanting that for me/many of you. That’s going backwards. That’s bad.
Anyway, all this to say HI and I love you and I’m with you and no matter what happens, the sun will come up. Unless Trump wins — then the sun will come up so damn warm it burns us to death :’)
Also! This newsletter might look a little different because I moved it over to Substack where it’s freeeeeee instead of mailchimp where I was spending $75/month. Weird. But what’s fun about Substack is you can comment on these emails/posts and see what other people think and, ya know, take part in helping the internet feel a little homier.
TBH - I have no idea if anything up there ^^ just made sense because I’m literally in a 8 person zoom meeting and half here and half there and that’s probably bad so I’m going to go. <3
What a delightful and unexpected treat!! I'm a newbie here but reading your blogs recently has been an utter guilty pleasure. I really enjoy your take on controversial topics - you always keep it clean, open minded, understanding and rational. You're a cracking writer! Also, I hope you and yours are keeping well, safe and healthy. Chin up buttercup, all the way from "sunny" Scotland ;)
WAIT. I am living for this interactive little Taryn abode you built! Honestly seeing an email from you was a little moment of peace for me today in this anxiety ridden day - so thanks lady! Also sending some peaceful vibes to you and all fellow subscribers in the abode! ... And maybe also sending a tall glass of wine, because yeah. 🍷🤘🏽🖤
