loved this substack, "treat yo self" is a great theme for this summer and also made me think about a great movie "about a boy" with hugh grant and nicholas hault, there is this scene with nicholas walking a school hallway listening and singing along to a rap song with a similar lexicon line "watch yo self" with some additional lyrics (slightly less appropriate), definitely a movie worth watching to "treat yo self"

btw very iconic boston pic, very professional ;) and looking forward to hearing more about the secret plan

I highly recommend the photographer, he's in high demand though, I hear he won't be back this way for a while

This! "Do not confuse this idea with its cousin, Self-Care. Care is kind but is at time a necessity. Childcare. Eldercare. Of course these can be wonderful, but they carry a whiff of obligation." So great as always, Jill. I'm listening to Buckle on repeat too. Add me to your email invite list, please!

YAY! I will imagine us both listening to Buckle at the same time, across the country. I would love it if you make it to my birthday party. <3

Hi Jill! I love the distinction between care and treat yo self.

Thanks, Rick! "Self care" has always kind of bothered me and it was through writing this newsletter that I finally figured out why. :)
