briffin glue huffer

By griffin blue emerson

Emotionally distant cappuccino. Tried and true corn dog.

i could recognize any of griffin’s essays from a mile away. they feel cohesive and comprehensive, yet intelligent and philosophical in the best way. his writing is a masterclass in alchemizing heartfelt personal anecdotes with sharp analysis on culture and politics.

people's princess

By sarah cucchiara

an amalgamation of essays and critiques that read like diary entries

sarah is a genius at turning moments of current culture into something so unique and interesting and heartfelt. her writing is perfect, and her humor and talent is unmatched. her essays are uncannily reminiscent of an excellent piece on the new yorker, and i look forward to her pieces every week.
