From the Desk of Alicia Kennedy

A newsletter on food culture, media, and politics from a San Juan, Puerto Rico–based writer. From the Kitchen for paid subscribers comes out on Fridays, with recipes and kitchen notes.

Everything Alicia writes about food makes me appreciate and consider food more deeply, especially as someone who's been challenged by my relationship to eating.

She's A Beast: A Swole Woman's Newsletter

By Casey Johnston

Actual no-bullshit, science-based, yet chill writing and advice on staying healthy, working out, and being strong (metaphorically, emotionally, physically), plus links and other good stuff to look at.

The GOAT publication for (especially) women who like to or want to lift weights. Pretty much everything Casey publishes about lifting is something I wish I'd written.

Salt + Yams

By Julia Craven

Julia Craven's library dedicated to discussing health, wellness, and Black health history.

Julia writes about the science behind why specific health or wellness trends are beneficial, and I'm very into that.

A newsletter for the modern bisexual

Lux writes with frankness and honesty about bisexuality, relationships, longing, the gaze of others...I chew on every post for a long while after I read it.
