Hi all -
Hope everyone is enjoying their summer! I know One Good Thing is usually reserved for paying members, but I thought it would be fun to open the comments to everyone today. :)
For anyone new here: OGT is our weekly thread where we share something good that’s happened recently—no matter how big or small. It’s our way to take a beat and focus on some joy.
Share anything you want—a promotion, wedding anniversary, great dinner with a friend, or the cute dog you passed on the way to work. I want to hear all of it.
My one good thing: I’m packing for vacation right now. ☀️ We’re headed to the beach for two glorious weeks, and I couldn’t be more excited for the sun, swimming, and a break from sitting in front of my laptop. (I love you all, but a little restorative time is definitely in order!)
Don’t worry, Abortion, Every Day will still be around. Kylie is holding down the fort while I’m away, and we’ll publish on a (slightly) more limited schedule. In the meantime, I hope everyone enjoys these last weeks of summer.
So what about you—what’s your one good thing?


I live in Spokane, I'm so unbeleivable thankful for all of the firefighters that came from all over the world to help us. My house is still here and nobody in my community has perished. Thankful is an understatement.
My partner and I are headed down to the Obama center here in Chicago today. I need that little injection of hope today.
