Haha, this was a fun one to catalog.

Congrats on affiliate!!!

It started as a retelling of beauty and the beast.

After finishing The Starving Saints, my second Caitlin Starling book, I'm with you. Love the writing so much.

Happy pride! 🩷💛💙

This was really relatable. Thank you for putting words to this.

American Unreality So, I watched the 2025 American Music Awards. This essay isn’t really about that, but it begins there all the same. It was a strange broadcast, interspersed with live performances, celebrities, inf…

I tried to put some thoughts together about why everything feels off these days. You can read those words here if you would like: joshgauthierwriter.com/2025/05/28/a...

Proud of you 👏

I’m so glad I finally watched as an adult. So good.

I chose to forgo makeup and uh... that was a good choice as it turned out.

This is what you bring to book club. 🍷

Do you get sick time? Americans can be bad at thinking of using it for mental health, but it's made a huge difference for me when I allowed myself the time away to give my brain a break.

For me, this is when I plan time off. Even a staycation can recharge me. Is that an option for you?

As hard as it is to get it all together, it's going to be so pretty for having your touches. You got this. 🫂

That is great advice

I’d love my weird current PFP in your style with some color. You draw great headphones.

😷 Everything is Tuberculosis

All podcast episodes are out, and only about 5 minutes each.

Politics aren't going to stop avalanching, but I can say I'm used to it at this point. I still frequently reach out to my congresspeople for the causes I care about, and that won't stop either.

I withdrew socially from a lot of communities as I was managing the overwhelming information flow of the previous few months of political avalanches.

I'm ready to come back now. I've missed you.
