Liv Schmidt is a 23-year-old weight loss influencer/girl about town. Literally about town; most of Schmidt’s Instagram content is photos of her posing in random spots around New York City, or walking obsessively around New York City or both.

Hi Burnt Toasties,And we’re less than $2000 away from our goal!! If you haven’t donated yet… the moment is now. I am SO proud that we’re on track to raise $12,000—with Burnt Toast’s matching grant, that will cover 3,600 meals for low-income multiply marginalized folks, many of whom are recovering from eating disorders. And we’re hoping that over 50 of you will sign on as recurring donors, to help make the foundation’s work sustainable.

Usually when I do a books post, I aim for more of a theme — like the Bad Mom Book Club kick I’ve been on the past few months. But my reading has been a little more scattershot lately, and I’m not mad about it! I’ve been craving a good story and 3/4 of these really deliver on that front; and then my non-fiction pick is just the most useful parenting book I’ve read in ages.

Have you donated to the Me Little Me Virtual Food Pantry? This amazing organization works to get low-income folks (many of whom are in eating disorder recovery) fed — and with the food of their choosing. Meaning yes, ultra processed foods that bring comfort and convenience, and yes to beloved cultural foods…and yes to trusting folks in need to know what they need. We’re trying to raise $12,000 and add 50 recurring donors to their rosters by June 1 AND WE ARE SO CLOSE TO OUR GOAL.

joined me for a very fun Substack live where she asked me some questions about Big Undies. We get into clogs, the Big Undies origin story, the best style questionnaires, our favorite advice, consumerism, eyeglasses, buying multiples, AND MUCH MORE—but you’ll need to be a paying subscriber to Big Undies to watch the whole thing. And here are …

My kids’ school didn’t use enough snow days this year, so I’m sending this to you in the middle of a five day weekend but… I’m actually not mad about it. My best friend Amy Palanjian is visiting with her kiddos—who feel like cousins to my kids—and we’re so excited to show them the new chickens, go for ice cream, chill in the pool, and put on many movies for the kids so the adults can hang out (Jack is here too, passing the v important best friend test!).

Last month, when I launched Garden Toast, I asked what kind of gardening content you are most craving in…a newsletter otherwise devoted mostly to body liberation.

Have you donated to the Me Little Me Virtual Food Pantry? No, it won’t prevent any of the MAHA shenanigans we’re about to discuss. But it will get low-income folks (many of whom are in eating disorder recovery) fed — and with the food of their choosing. Meaning yes, ultra processed foods that bring comfort and convenience, and yes to beloved cultural foods…and yes to trusting folks in need to know what they need.
