I know this was but a brief aside to the point of your newsletter, but thank you for this: " I was busy helping my preschooler fall asleep until around 9:30 pm, naturally."-- it made me feel very seen. My son turns four tomorrow (yes the 4th of July, he was two weeks overdue, don't get me started), but he's been needing his hand held to fall asleep since last November and he usually isn't able to fall asleep until 9:45. It's just nice to remember sometimes that I'm not the only exhausted mom out there doing it. Actually, I'm often listening to your podcast while lying there holding his hand. As always, love the rest of the newsletter, too. Thanks to you guys I haven't listened to any music besides Chappell Roan in three weeks and I've read several excellent books.
Yay for Aussie comedy! You should watch Rake next if you haven’t seen it. My favourite Australian lawyer comedy (apart from Denis Denuto in The Castle of course!)
Emma, thank you for the Elie Mystal link! I love him and it feels appropriate (if depressing!) to read on the 4th of July.

I also learned about Chappell Roan from this newsletter last year, and have since become your friendly neighborhood CR evangelist.
