#9 Stories of sisterhood, and Gwyneth's soiled sheets

Death By Consumption 7/1/24 - 7/7/24 This week went by like a blur — it started with ungodly long work days, and ended with a slow, hot, lazy 4th of July weekend, so as a result, there wasn't a ton of cultural consumption — it was

#8: We're all gonna die but at least we have culture

Death By Consumption 6/24/24 - 6/30/24 Pride is over. Did you have fun being gay? Well, STOP IT RIGHT NOW. No more fun! That was for June; July is all about maximizing profits for the shareholders and denying the President is sundowning on live TV while

#7: In the Azores With the Manson Family

Death by Consumption 6/17/24 - 6/23/24 I spent the week in the Azores with friends, doing my favorite kind of travel — impulse plane tickets, minimal research, no idea what the vibe even is over there, just winging it day by day. As a result, we all

Death By Consumption #3: 5/20/24 - 5/26/24

Welcome to Death By Consumption's Memorial Day edition: exactly the same as other editions! I hope you're having a good holiday weekend if you're in the US, and if you're anywhere else in the world, I hope you're having a

Death By Consumption #2: 5/13/24 - 5/19/24

My cousin is staying with us for a bit, so this was a week with less culture consumption and more food and alcohol consumption. Technically it's my birthday today, which feels dumb to mention but also weird to not mention, so here we are. Don't send

Death By Consumption #1: 5/6/24 - 5/12/24

Hello. If you're getting this in your email, it's because, years ago, you were foolish enough to hit "subscribe" on something called DannyLetter, an infrequent and stupid newsletter I was publishing until the pandemic killed my will to do anything. I'm happy
