hi griefbacon subscribers. recently, someone asked me on twitter if the title of this newsletter had anything to do with the German word kummerspeck, and I realized that I’ve never actually talked about the title and its origin in this version of this letter. as of today, the substack version of griefbacon is one year old, but counting the time back when it was a tinyletter, I’ve been writing and sending these for a little over three years (which feels absolutely wild to me). Thank you so much, all of you who have read these over the past year, and all of you who’ve been here since the tinyletter days - having a continued audience for this writing is bizarre in the best way, and wonderful, and I’m so grateful for it.
