Episode notes

In a lot of your writing, it doesn't seem like you're mad at it. Maybe that's what essential thing is, it's realizing that you're doing something that someone could be making fun of you in the same way as you are. And i think being self deprecating has a relatable element to it. I try to keep that awareness, particularly about fitness stuff,. especially because i can feel very insecure a lot about, like the literal world is ending in so many ways and i'm talking about lifting weights.

Casey Johnston is a journalist and editor who writes the column "Ask A Swole Woman," which now appears in her newsletter ”She's a Beast.”

”I feel more comfortable lately with a sort of beloved-local-restaurant level of success. What's nice about Substack is that we've come to this place that I hope lasts where we can have this sort of local restaurant relationship with writers, or I can have that with readers, where I don't have to be part of this big machine in order to do something that I really like.”
