^{issue no. 1}

hi from me.

I’ve been thinking about this newsletter for months — a little space to archive the thoughts gnawing away at my brain each night. A corner of the internet to yell about my niche interests and share the occasional life update.

I cannot return to Instagram, but a girl in crisis needs an audience.

I would love for this newsletter to come out quarterly. But considering the very first issue is going live on October 2… please accept that I’m a liar. If I manage the second one by Christmas, I’ll be proud.

- with love & internet dread, slig

Please take this as your official vibe check.

^{k, thanks.}
^{love you! bye!}
