Hi there, I’m Adryan (they/them)!
I’m an essayist and cultural worker interested in combining personal essays and cultural criticism, particularly through a hybrid memoir project about growing up on social media.
I’m also a pop cultural enthusiast interested harm reduction and prison/police abolition.
This newsletter helps me tell stories I’ve always wanted to tell—like how Lindsay Lohan deserves a cultural reckoning or hearing that Amy Winehouse died while at Warped Tour.
It’s also a home for conversations with others, such as a Q&A with Clown Hospital podcast host Sadie Flesher on community care and emotional regulation.
Recently, my essay on trying to reconnect with an estranged ex hit over 1,000 views.
When you subscribe to my newsletter, you’ll receive an essay straight to your inbox once a month. While most essays are free, occasionally some will be paywalled for paid subscribers.
