Big Question

hello my subscribers

Thank you for your support, for being here and reading this messy tangly spot on the internet in which I tell you—and sometimes overshare—all the harrowing and joyous happenings of my life.

It has been a year now, of The Hummus is Out writing, and I’ve been dwelling on that a bit—and considering the ways in which it could grow, expand, become other things, remain the same. The writing has been on the sad side over here the past few months, though I’ve been so relieved to be able to write and share through a time of deep grief. I have found so much comfort and somehow, Happiness! A scary word. I have been feeling more emotions at once than I ever have.

Many times, while writing about death, I wondered if I should post it at all, and my therapist would gently remind me that as a western society we don’t talk about death much. This has in some ways become a death spot on the internet, but I don’t think I mind it too much.

I wanted to post a free newsletter every Tuesday morning, and that mostly happened (woah). I have sent out a lot of free newsletters, and a few exclusive paywalled newsletters. But now more and more people, some who I don’t even know!, are reading this and supporting me. Sooo that comes to a big question. (Yes, now I am interacting with you muahaha.) I want to keep as much of this as I can accessible, but also want to semi support myself as a little 24 year old writer—and gifting those who support me financially is important to me in the upcoming year. So… big question… what do you wanna see? Bad cartoons? Essays? Poetry? Advice column? Interview random people on the street and steal their dogs? Hm.

Anyway, all advice and opinions would helpful.

Thank you for reading about this Big Question. I hope to hear from you soon.

Love!

Jo
