I'm voting for a home tour of Jess's NY apartment. She has such interesting taste and I love all the peeps of her finds we get to see!

I know we aren’t friends, but when I finally get my Substack about minority owned and operated Bourbon Distilleries up and running, would you be game for featuring an amazing Bourbon of the Month?

I was born and raised in a Kentucky town that had 5 distilleries, so I know Bourbon like the back of my hand!

Thank you so much! Hopefully by the end of next month I will have something for you!

As an aside, thank you for everything thing you do! I have no idea how I stumbled upon you ( it was your Insta account, but still have no idea how that even happened?). Keep bringing us the lowdown!

I never know when the bigger stories will finally wrap. I have one last chapter I have drafted but haven't felt like finishing. But I will (eventually)

What did I miss? There’s a finale?

Expand full comment

Yes and honestly because of the constant postponing of it i am guessing the either :

- Jessica is very lazy (which i HIGHLY doubt) OR

- It's going to be a BIG and SHOCKING one that has to come out when "it's time"

Time will tell but i'm here for it...

I keep thinking it’s a picture of Amber’s turd on the bed.

Obsessed with Noble Blood! This round-up is legitimate. Are you doing anything w/ Alex Maurdugh's case? Can we pls RIP JD V AH? It was all-encompassing and need to move on. It was definitely the seminal case that busted open my eyes to more sides of the story, MSM lies, and Lawtube (and you!!)

Still think AH is a part of a much bigger story, maybe Whitney Webb-style connections.

Love this Jess, so nice to break up the heavy (which I love) with some beautiful objects and inspiring art, this will definitely be something I’m looking forward to each month

Ps as someone who has been in the past quite minimalistic due to environmental concerns- it is nice to challenge that in myself and enjoy the beautiful things that humans create. That kind of anti-consumerism can become such a dogmatic religion, and honestly lead to quite a sad existence. I love buying pretty things and that’s ok 😆 So thanks for sharing all the joy bringing things from perfume to good reads 🥂

I LOVE THIS. You and Jessica complement each other so well. And Luana is a great addition to the mix. Between the three of you, it’s an excellent melange and hopefully there’s something there for all readers to consider/try. Can’t wait for more.

That Playboy doc was 😳😳😳

I mean, it sort of stands to reason Heff was an abusive SOB, but seeing it all play out over decades was 🤯🤯🤯.

Nice list! Thank you for the reminder of MP’s fragrances I would love to try those. I didn’t know about Brett’s new book!! Will be snapping that up. Loads of other brilliant rec’s too, thank you 😊.

Btw you chose the right documentary. Both are good but I got VERY engrossed in the playboy one, thought it was really well done x
