Hi,

I want to share something with you that happened to me yesterday. It really got me thinking about how resistant consumer culture is to change, and how this resistance doesn’t really benefit the consumer. I’m sure someone will unsubscribe after reading this email, so I’ll say goodbye to you now, but for those who stay with me, I thank you. This is a personal glimpse into my daily momlife, plus a reflection on changing cultures, gender, fashion retail, and neurodivergent thinking.

Collage by me of a shoe with math equations over it.

If you’ve just stumbled into the Lagoon, this is a variety publication for creative people who refuse to niche, written by Charlotte Dune, the author of the psychedelic-fiction novels, Cactus Friends and Mushroom Honeymoon. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a subscriber.
