tiny newsletter #52: one year of tiny and sixty years of my dad!!

hi friends,

welcome to the 52nd issue of tiny!! i've been writing to you for a whole year, can you believe it?! and it's a double bday issue too, my dad turned the big 6-0 on tues! it's been nice to be home for it, back in michigan where the winter light is always slightly blue. 

this week, i...

🍫 made chocolate soufflés. to kick off my dad's bday celebrations, my mom and i baked these treats. i don't think we completely folded in the egg whites and they were still delicious – of c it's a claire saffitz recipe! 10/10. 

📺 watched bad sisters. it's an irish dark comedy about four sisters trying to murder their abusive brother-in-law. the season opens on his wake, so you know in the end they'll get there. 4 eps in, i'm rooting for them wholeheartedly. 

🚗 scream-sang taylor swift while driving on the highway. as much as i love living in a walkable city, singing in the car is one of life's greatest pleasures, something i'll miss when i'm gone. you're on your own kid just hits different under these conditions.

🎂 happy birthday tiny 🎂 52 wks ago i sent out the first issue of tiny. since then my life has been full of change and writing to you has been the most wonderful constant. many of you have wanted to add friends to the distribution list, so i've put together a website that i hope will be an easy way to share tiny w them. lmk what you think! 

a massive ty to fotn eleonora saravalle for painting me and the love letter emoji so perfectly, madeline helland and eliza cuevas for crucial design feedback, and everyone else who helped me get it here. i had a lot of fun working on it, a site just for f of fotn. sending you a big hug – and here's a mini madeleine (aud's mads, if you will) dispatched in spirit to mark the occasion.

💌 and that's the tiny letter! thank you for reading, xo aud
