Just 10 days until THROW AWAY THE KEY is out in the world! If you miss Zora and Granny Marion, you're sure to get your fix, but Emma is the highlight of this story. I thought I'd share a little taste of the tropey goodness from this sapphic romance. Preorder: https://buff.ly/3Eq2uVe

Greetings, queriers! Initially, I’d planned to reopen QM right around now, but January has thrown some wrenches into my process. The plan is to reopen the second half of February now, but do check back here for updates!

I'm just going to (re)post this whenever I need to remind myself. Maybe it'll help you too? 1. Focus on things in your control & take ONE action there. 2. Limit your inputs. You can't help if you're paralyzed.

This morning, I got to bear witness to snow in Florida––something I wasn't sure was actually possible. I also wasn't sure I'd get around to posting to my newsletter, but I've finally gotten that together too. Maybe I should play the lottery... open.substack.com/pub/tajmccoy...

Coffee, reading, nap. I sometimes get a bit of work done on federal holidays, but I do not people until the next business day.

I intend to be fully unplugged tomorrow. Planned my travel so that I’d stay away from DC for any potential foolery. Make sure you’re taking care of yourself through this transition.

Lights out Meta for the next week. Honestly, I’m looking forward to seeing how productive I can be without all of the doomscrolling. I set app limits to have that protective barrier in case the temptation is too strong, because I know myself lol. *cleansing breaths*

I lived in LA for 12 years. So many friends and chosen family members have had to evacuate, and many of them have relatives who lost their homes. Others are packed and waiting for an order. Check on your people and ask how best you can support them. They may be safe, but they are not okay.

Times like this I get frustrated with hopeless, selfless narratives about this country. Yeah some people suck, including our elected officials but for two straight days all over LA County, there are so many people helping each other.
