I’ve been saying “sussy baka” just to annoy my teenagery 2nd grader who insists it’s cringe when moms speak Gen Z. Also it’s a fun word to say.

When you finish Golden Girls, please turn next to Designing Women! That baton monologue by Julia? EPISODE TWO! Talk about a show that had its voice from the jump!

I had a similar reaction from my carload of 8th graders when I made them listen to Biz Markie's "Just a Friend" because I was reminded of it by Olivia Rodrigo's "Get Him Back." I stand by this.

It’s bitterly cold where I live and I am escaping by reading One Last Summer and it’s been such a treat! (I know this is peak parasocial behavior, but I felt so proud of you when I saw your fancy *author* Kate Spencer logo for your newsletter. Way to go!!)
