I could do without the self righteous indignation in my feed

I Could Do Without

the self righteous indignation in my feed
the five day work week
microplastics in my tea
anxiety
pop stars in space
another iPhone case
Amazon (not to be confused with THE amazon)
Bumble (not to be confused with bees)
a new beauty routine
more reasons to feel ugly
screens
condescension from Karens (not to be confused with condensation from my iced coffee)
the IRS on my back
another fucking app
beef (of any variety)
mothers living in the streets
politicians lying about peace
more black and brown children to grieve
the land of the "free"

Thank you for reading extra honey. And all my love and gratitude to those of you who bought an ashtray! I basically sold out in a week which came as a sweet surprise. Ashtrays were a somewhat random choice (considering I haven’t touched a cigarette in years). But I do mention smoking a lot (romanticizing nihilism perhaps) and I wanted to highlight Audrey’s affinity for manmade objects reminiscent of the past. I love how they came out so much and it means a lot that you would want to rep my newsletter in your home however you use it (my mom is using hers for her tea bags!). I definitely want to do more collabs in the future and will hopefully stop procrastinating making the zine that’s been in the back of my mind forever and ever so I can share that with you too. Good things to come. Amongst all the bad. C’est la vie.

Love, Jenny

P.S. In case you missed it, last week’s post was a poem about grief

I will never recover from loving you
