    Super quickly: Substack told me this email might get “truncated in some email clients.” But I think if this is the case for you, all you have to do is click on “view entire message” and you should be able to read it all!Happy fall, y’all! (No, I really couldn’t come up with anything better than that cliche.)I just have to say, it’s really nice to be back to writing these regularly again. Second week in a row after a few weeks off feels great. And I have a special treat for you in this edition of

    Excerpt

    It’s been far too long since I’ve published one of these, and I missed doing them! I also have a bunch of new subscribers, so if you’re new around here—welcome! To catch you up to speed on the last month-ish: we closed on our first house, I flew out to California for my sister’s college graduation while my husband moved us across town, came home and spent a week-ish unpacking before succumbing to a nasty cold that swept through all three of us, and now here we are.

    Some quick housekeeping: normally I put out a new edition of the Weekend Musings on Saturday mornings, but I’ve decided to push pause on those until we move into our new house. Pray for us! We close this coming week! And on that note, this will probably (probably, but who knows) be the last thing I write here on Substack for a few weeks. See you sometime in September!Back in January, I published a vibes-only guide to classical music. Why did I do this? As I wrote in its introduction:<div cl

    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Listen, I don’t consider myself a huge nerd when it comes to comic book characters,1 but after I saw Spider-Man: Far From Home in theaters almost seven years ago2, I kind of got hooked on Tom Holland as Spider-Man. I definitely followed the whole Sony drama where they were like “ok Marvel you don’t get Spider-Man anymore” and then the fans were so mad that Sony changed its tune relatively quickly.<a class="footnote-anchor" hr
