Hello Readers,

Thank you to everyone who’s followed my writing on this website! I have returned from my period of retreat and am now posting essays on Substack. This is a monthly paid subscription service, though I will occasionally share content for those with unpaid subscriptions. My first two posts on the site are free of charge, and I would love for you to read them!

The first is an introduction to my new online home (which will strongly resemble what you’ve seen here on Stuff I Love).

The second is a review of the 1987 Diane Keaton film BABY BOOM, which perfects a rom com formula that any Hallmark movie fan is guaranteed to love.

I hope that you will continue to follow my work and join me in celebrating what remains beautiful and bright in these very dark times. You can also follow me on Bluesky at rareoats.bsky.social for daily doses of funny/lighthearted/pretty content. 

With gratitude,

Tara
