This will lower your cortisol

a little gift for you this holiday season!!

Hi bestie,

I hope you’re cozy wherever you’re reading this.

Let’s be honest. The internet is a lot.

Every day we’re expected to have an opinion, a take, a perfectly worded response on politics, gender, relationships, masculinity, feminism. All of it. Immediately. It can feel like there’s no room left to think, or feel, or just be unsure.

Airplane Mode exists as an alternative.

It’s a quieter corner of the internet where I write more slowly, more honestly, and more personally about things like:

• Why masculinity feels so brittle right now and why that affects all of us
• How power shows up in our relationships, not just our institutions
• What feminism looks like when it’s lived, not just performed
• How to stay human in a world that keeps asking us to react to every tiny big thing

For the next week, I’m offering a discount on annual subscriptions, not just to welcome new readers, but to help sustain this work.

Your support directly allows me to keep reporting, writing, and thinking independently, without chasing outrage, clicks, or algorithms.

If this newsletter has ever helped you slow down, reflect, or feel a little less alone, this is one meaningful way to support it.

Thank you for being here and for all of your support this year. It truly means everything.

Merry Everything!!

Love x
Liz
