A Teen Mom

My first personal essay in Landline. Enjoy!

This is a post for subscribers of Landline, a pop culture and history newsletter for people who care about the Titanic, and the the Kate Winslet vehicle of the same name. Consider subscribing to the paid plan to get my weekly email of recommendations and links, a podcast episode, and more! You can also help me spread the word by sharing it with a friend who would love it.

Note: I made a list of goals for myself with this newsletter (and my writing/podcasting this year) that included the intention that I will be more open about my life as a queer person at a time when I think that’s important AND to embrace queer joy, both publicly and privately whenever I can. This essay includes some personal news and my reflections on it, as a result, I’ve decided to paywall it to protect some measure of my privacy. I hope you enjoy it.
