Blackbird Spyplane is yr no. 1 source for “unbeatable recon” into style & culture Blackbird Spyplane is a cultural digest on all things COOL, it’s goofy, a bit ironic, and quite nerdy, but most of all - it’s undescribably cool. The essays are slang-full, nostalgia-heavy (think 2000’s internet vibes) pieces on culture, clothing, and the aesthetic that combines it all. They express their point-of-view through a well-fitting lingo of their own: “compulsive jawn-coppers” is how they describe themselves. It’s a brilliantly chaotic newsletter filled with celeb Q&A’s, giveaway, cool collabs, and their exclusive paid membership-only SpyMall. Subscribe to BBSP to get the freshest takes on our cultural zeitgeist and unapologetically edgy visuals.

Get It Together is a weekly newsletter full of original essays, interviews, and commentary about music, art, and building a creative life.

Lauren Denitzio shares their real thoughts, tells you about things that they love and asks the right questions to understand how other artists figure it all out. The variety of issues range from learning to stop worrying and thoughts on Anthony Bourdain to interviews with book authors and behind-the-stage action (Warriors fans wru?). Subscribe for a “little ranty, pretty queer” publication and get it together yourself.

No Girl is an Island is your semimonthly ray of sunshine + free therapy in a world that wants more compassion, kindness, and cat videos.

These free-spirited thoughts could sometimes be very honest and personal, other times just witty and cute, but they are always very relatable. Subscribe for a fresh dose of honesty and enjoy your therapy session!

Subscribe for the monthly conversation and a bonus of personal notes and reading recommendations.
