I left you a voicemail

Happy birthday, darkling. We love you very, very, very, very, very, very, very much

a brief history of the everyman birthday celebration and a nod to your own preciousness. (with chicken nuggets)

ETA: The “darkling” is a typo, but it’s perfect. So I am leaving it.

Also, as discussed on Threads and further explored in my IG stories, Brontë continues to be my daughter, in case you were wondering.

voicemails from meg conley
You're too busy for another podcast. Me too. So this is just a voicemail, the kind we used to leave one another before texting and social media.
Once or twice a week, I leave you a message about politics, the economy, culture and home. I guess these voicemails are companions to my newsletter, homeculture. But like any message worth leaving, they stand just fine on their own too.
Just imagine I'm calling you from a Vtech Jelly Bean cordless phone, in translucent purple. I'll imagine you're listening to my message on your Vtech Jelly Bean cordless phone in translucent red. Talk soon.
