AHB’s Goodies is a mixtape delivery service. About once a month, I share curated playlists (Spotify/Apple/YouTube) and the stories behind them. My cultural journalism has been published in places like LA Weekly, the New York Times and the New Yorker, but my primary career is running Brassland, the label I founded with musicians Bryce and Aaron Dessner (known for their work with The National, Taylor Swift, etc). Substack is my way of staying inspired by music and connected to my creative community.

Lovely to meet you all! I came in late so didn't feel confident to share my Substack, also cause I also don't feel I fit in a category haha but to summarise: I write both in English and Spanish in an self healing way which uses the form of self growth and inevitably activism (woman and animal rights mostly) and (western) culture is also part of it (could it not?), but it's also a white canvas creativity and the expression of all things that feel wrong to say in real life... Honesty is the only sure thing :)

Katie I was hoping I could write down or check all the participants from today and subscribe to some new newsletter, but the only way would be if the person wrote a line in here, right?

Thanks community, this is inspiring and encouraging <3

Hey there, I'm Elle. I write Don't delete the kisses, a storytelling Substack that explores identity and taboo topics. Everyone has something to share - but most people think their story is worth nothing. I find ways for people to connect over shared experiences ... especially the ones we're not supposed to talk about.

Happy to see this thread! I had hoped to join this morning, but had a last minute conflict come up so I'm excited to look through the thread and dive into y'all's work!

I'm Monica, and I write at "Stuff Monica Listens To" (I'm reasonably good with music, very bad at naming things...). Through my newsletter, I write about music and feelings and feelings about music - this takes the form of personal essays about concerts, albums, etc. as well as sharing playlists! And slowly, but surely, I'm working my way through the Rolling Stones' Top 500 albums and sharing brief anecdotes about the listening experience.

Hope to connect in the future - and getting to know other writer's work through this thread!
