Jonas brothers grown up fucking slap! (Do the kids still say that?) my partner (young gen x) and I (geriatric millennial) listened to Celebrate and Waffle House on repeat two summers ago! Love this justice for Jo Bros!
I love this post! I’m a huge Jonas Brothers fan. I found out some years ago that Nick Jonas has Type 1 diabetes just like me and he’s an advocate for us as a pop star with this chronic illness doing just fine. I’m hella jealous of your concert! Now I’m off to read your new book. 😉
Argh that sucks and is so disappointing. I've been Type 1 since I was 4 and every 5 or so years, they say there'll be a cure or the price of insulin will come down or some other promise, but these things never materialize. Insulin prices will never come down as long as big pharma has their way. I'm almost 50 and this is the shit that keeps me alive! It should be free! Now I'm ranting, so I'll stop. But I'm sad that the group that started with great promise is just that, empty words.
I know! It's so hard and you have my sympathy - my husband is type 1 and the way it controls our lives is huge. It simply should be free. FWIW my husband's nutritionist put him on a GLP-1 and the results have been crazy for his blood sugars, seriously interesting, but he had to drop it once insurance didn't cover it. And I'm sure Maris Kriezman's upcoming book has an essay about type 1 life etc. that I am looking forward to reading.
This made me feel so much better about my own obsession with the hyperpop scene, an amazing group of artists who are pretty much the age of my children. And I am writing a novel about it!
Is your “friend” Lin Manuel Miranda??!
This was my thought. That’s a mic drop name drop for the ages. I’m in awe of that one!!!
Wondering the SAME!
Lol I was wondering the same! If not, very striking resemblance 😅
Emma, you know I love you but the expression is brass tacks.
Kind corrections always welcome ❤️
What a dispatch! Loved every word
Goodness gracious this was so much fun to read. I love your writing - I need your next book already!!

I love your writing! The 1980s divorced Dad vibe or the Luke Perry guy who can ride a horse... so hard to choose!

Beyond Type 1, his group, is shady though & was lobbying against a Maine resolution to lower insulin prices in 2021 … maybe it got better?: https://betacellpodcast.com/the-bolus/letter-of-resignation-from-beyond-type-1-leadership-council
Oh nooooo

Omg, I’m 50 and love the Jo Bros too! My kids are so sick of listening to the PERFECT summer song, “Summer Baby” on repeat. 😂 What a night!
What a cool thing!
