But really, I’m writing a newsletter, as a treat (for me).
It’ll be a little about New Orleans cats but maybe mostly about books and music and other stuff. You can sign up here if you think that sounds like a nice thing to read: ashleydean.substack.com/welc…

Well this is a huge bummer. Putting on a Pop-Up Zine in Denver was so fun and the Pop-Up Mag team was great to work with. (Click thru to the post if you’re hiring.)

We're all talking about Twitter like we're rationalizing staying in a bad relationship. "It's awful and bad for us but what would we do with out it?"
RTA rides are once again free for Election Day so, you know, hop on that bus for democracy. norta.com/news-list/rta-to-o…

The sound of the bywater train at night is romantic af. Being trapped in Bywater by the train when you're trying to go somewhere is actual hell.
Can't keep myself out of local journalism, apparently...

If you live near these tracks (which I do) it's not really about the noise. The noise is fine. But anyone around here will tell you it's a safety issue. Frustrated drivers flying down residential streets (sometimes going the wrong way), blocked emergency vehicles — all that.
Anyway, because I'm a sick sick person, I spent some time figuring out how much that train is actually blocking St. Claude. antigravitymagazine.com/feat…
I'm all for fixing the grid but I'm not sure about picking a day with a likely 105-degree heat index to shut off our power for seven hours. 🥴
Update: Great read if you enjoy heavily sighing and shaking your head and angrily reading entire pages out loud to your partner/roommate.
