A Thing Or Two We’re Doing Besides Coloring Outside The Lines
Friends! Part two of this year’s podcast gift guide is alive! And if you still don’t know what to get somebody, well, how about a gift subscription to Secret Menu? December new-subscriber money is going to Fair Fight, Stacey Abrams’s org to battle voter suppression and promote election reform. Speaking of Stacey: We’ll be discussing her romance novel Reckless (written under the wonderful pseudonym Selena Montgomery) on the December 21 ep of the pod if you feel like joining for a steamy read-along.

Feeling surprisingly moved listening to the collective playlist that is 2020 Is a Song.
Running out of excuses to let my kid draw with boring, normal crayons when these, these, and these exist.
