Mina every 2 weeks my friends and i have a “pinkberry meeting” where we rehash the events that have occurred since the last time we met at pinkberry. Definitely recommend froyo as a third place

One of my resolutions was to engage more in text stuff throughout the internet and in a less ephemeral way (an eternal war against the eternal timelines), so imagine my joy when I saw that you came back with the newsletter! Anyway, I really like your work and I wish you nothing but the best for 2024 :)

in: sustained argumentation, long-form writing (Substack), taking yourself intellect seriously as a woman

out: fragmentary writing (Twitter), deliberately infantilising yourself for an audience

Obsessed with this format of media, and excited to see what you'll do in 2024 ✨

something i would really like to see out: boy vs girl everything. 'divine feminine' vs. 'divine masculine', 'girls locker room' vs. 'boys locker room', 'girl math' vs 'boy math', 'at the girls sleepover' vs. 'at the boys sleepover' and so forth. When will it end. The joke is on us and we are not in on it...the only thing that these dichotomies do is cede ground to bioessentialism and belief in inherently gendered behaviours.

I'm SO glad you're back. I was first introduced to Substack through your newsletter and was later inspired to start my own. It feels great to see you writing again. I know anything you write will be incredible and I'm excited to see what you'll do in 2024 :)

Listen, i've been watching outlander for the past week & i'm like everything they say is so poetic I'ma start picking up what they say. The way we talk to each other is so boring!!!!

expanding my vocabulary is such a goal in 2024! something i’ve been doing is writing down words i don’t know while reading and then going back and looking them all up and writing down the definitions ... something i had to do reading joan didion! she had such an expansive vocabulary

So excited to see more writing come from you, Mina! And I sooo agree with the a third space to hang out at every week. I've been thinking about that a lot for my own friend group!! Happy new year ♡

extremely late to the Mina's 2024 resolutions but i really needed to point out how before we got to "brat summer" the article you referred here already mentioned the "everything is so embarrassing" theme we got from 2012(!!) sky ferreira. things are indeed cyclical. amazing

Hello Miss Mina, I have to pick a media piece that has to do with propaganda & I wanted to focus on true crime propaganda. I was looking for your video on true crime but I couldn't find it anywhere. Was it deleted? I can't find it anywhere & would really like to use your video as my piece of choice. Could you send me the transcript or the link if it is still up, if possible please? Thank you

In case you (somebody from your team) reads this – I signed up for your newsletter. I want to support you but I simply cannot afford to pledge money monthly or with any frequency at the moment. Can you look into making it possible to give money on an individual/infrequent basis? Just a thought. Have a lovely day!
