To celebrate the upcoming 100th (!) issue of my “It’s Friday” weekly newsletter for paying subscribers, I’m having a sale. Become a paying subscriber between now and June 13th to get a whopping 25% off! That’s $3.75 a month or $37.50 for the year.

In the coming weeks I’ll be sharing all the juicy stuff about my family life, a bit about my summer childcare plans, and a little novel craft ditty about writing scenes and plot. Hell, I’ll probably do a second summer fashion issue since that first post has gotten the most engagement since I told y’all about my abortion!

Go here to get this sweet deal, and thank you for your support.

It’s been a minute since I gave a State of the Union on life with three kids. I’ve decided to do one child report at a time for the next three weeks.

Today, if you’re interested to know how things are faring with me and my thirteen-year-old son, read on. Topics include puberty, schoolwork, moments of connection, drug use, and the Cold War.

I put these sorts of posts behind a paywall since they’re personal—I tell it like it is, folks.

Italics Mine is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.
