When is an estate sale not an estate sale? When I'm there having an existential crisis about death. esthermartin.substack.com/p/theres-a-g...

Back on my Snacket bullshit. This time not only did I get a comment in, but I got the Round 4 closing comment. Yes, I'd be happy to sign your print out of this comment.

Y'all, I have a Substack. It's called The Kitchen Sink and the Very First Post is about meat tins. In fact, it's only Part I of meat tins. You never know there was so much to learn about tins full of meat. esthermartin.substack.com/p/meat-tins-...

Meat Tins - Part I

They're material culture, goshdernit!

And believe me when I say, I am so looking forward to getting back on my bullshit and being a nuisance on text-based social media.

I have so much freedom now! I can write whatever I want! Which is why I'm throwing one more substack into the void. Subscribe now and get access to literally nothing, I haven't published anything, but I'm super charming so you know it'll be good when I do esthermartin.substack.com

I've done it. I've officially received my MLA in Gastronomy from BU. There are things I've been proud of, but never like this. I wasn't able to attend graduation, but my lovely friend provided me with a realistic representation of what it would look like if I did.

Happy pub day, An American Girl Anthology! Sharing a bit about the book process and my feelings about writing my first not-food book (and the food history that helped shape it) in my latest newsletter with fellow food scholar/co-author @emartin.bsky.social!

Always proud when my comments make it to the Snacket email.

An email in the iPhone email app with the subject line Snacket XI - Round 2. The quote says “why not just put cat food on here, Jesus.”

To complete my degree I will be writing about doll food, historical malfeasance, and probably nostalgia mostly to annoy @zolkover.me.

I’m excited to start the final leg of my journey, a directed study, which I enrolled in last spring and is also technically now an F because I also didn’t do it. 11 years strong!!!!!

I am excited to share, a full week later, that I turned in my last incomplete 10 years late for my 11-year-old two year part-time masters degree with BU Gastronomy. I’d like to thank all my haters, primarily myself, who never thought I’d get here.
