This is the Sunday Edition of Paging Dr. Lesbian. If you like it, subscribe, and share it with your friends. Upgrade your subscription for more, including weekly dispatches from the lesbian internet, monthly playlists, and a free sticker. I’m a full-time freelance journalist – your support goes a long way!
Hello to all. I’m here to give you an update on the cadence of this newsletter. Due to forces beyond my control (the terrible job market, inflation), I will now be writing the Sunday Edition every other week instead of every week. Paid subscribers will still get the dispatch from the lesbian internet every Wednesday, and a playlist every month – none of that will change. I’m currently freelancing full-time while looking for more permanent work in journalism, so I don’t have the time (or rather, I shouldn’t make the time) to write every week for free.
I may deliver Sunday Editions two weeks in a row on occasion, if I have something timely, like a review of a book or a film, to publish. (I’ve been sent some cool queer books recently that I’m excited to share with you.) I hope to keep delivering to you high-quality work that lives up to this very esteemed newsletter’s name.
As always, feel free to reach out to me in the comments, in the Substack chat, or through email (kira.deshler@gmail.com) if you have anything you’d like to share. I’m always open to suggestions for topics to write about, and I love hearing about what interests you. As a reminder, I do accept submissions, though I can’t pay much, as you may have guessed from the above announcement.
Happy reading/watching/listening,
–Kira/Dr. Lesbian
