I adored Pop Candy, I read it from the UK and it introduced me to so many things – YOU introduced me to so many things. Thank you. You are brilliant.

I first started following your work during the Pop Candy era (I was a featured reader, when you were doing those weekly profiles!) and was delighted to connect with you again via Substack. Being a little older, wiser and grayer together is a privilege we should all celebrate.
