ASK MOLLY | Heather Havrilesky

Recommended by Heather Havrilesky

Essays, bad jokes, rants, and unsolicited advice from New York Times bestselling author Lauren Hough, and a dog named Woody Guthrie.

Lauren Hough is currently driving across the country with her dog Guthrie and her dispatches are pure gold. She's funny, honest, direct, and utterly unique.

Today in Tabs

By Rusty Foster

Of course.

An always-funny summary of daily events and online nonsense. Cannot recommend this one strongly enough.

Cintra Wilson Feels Your Pain

Cultural Pith, Terrible Secrets and Quality Rants. Two fresh original pieces and two obscure throwback articles a month, with audio performances and oil paintings for all.

I can't believe I haven't recommended Cintra Wilson to Ask Molly readers yet. Everything she writes is vivid, emotionally propulsive, unselfconscious, and very funny. How do you do that?! She just added a paid subscription option. Please support this great writer!

The Real Sarah Miller

A newsletter for people who like the work of (the real) Sarah Miller.

Sarah's dispatches are hilarious and weird and they make my life better. There's always something unforgettable in her posts. She's a great writer.

The Chatner

By Daniel Lavery

A newsletter about rejiggered literary classics, transmasculine underpinnings of the plucky heroine, and the failure-limits of graciousness, from table manners to family estrangement.

Daniel Lavery might be the funniest human alive. I can think "I don't care about this" as I start reading and minutes later I'm snickering and reading his words out loud to anyone who'll listen.
