Goodbye Hayden 🕊️ + Nicolandria...Returns? + Jenna Ortega's On "The List" + TikTok's Messiest Week? + Jason Arday + Someone Save Luigi + Texas vs. THC

I tried to find a theme for this week’s newsletter and landed on this one — keep your head on straight.

My head (as mentioned above) is on straight, but I was cast down yet again by whatever witch hates @culturework. It kinda feels like someone’s pouring hot lava down into a hole they drilled in the top of my head. Been like that for days. But it’s on straight. Focused. With one eye on all the funny business happening in the cosmos, and the other focused right in front of me. Honestly it’s nothing another cycle of Yellowstone won’t fix.

If you are one of my readers who is not a rich, white man with $10B in capital tucked away somewhere, this message is for you as well. It kinda feels like everyone’s losing it lately, yeah?
