I used to figure I wouldn’t write about this until my parents and everyone who ever knew them were dead, but I decided it’s more valuable to have more on this topic out in the world sooner rather than later. I started to get serious about wanting to address my cannabis use early in 2020.
The Joy of Smitten

2 months ago | evilwitches.substack.com | Claire Zulkey

The internet is a wild place. Fourteen years ago, I interviewed Deb Perelman, who was then a “blogger,” as we used to call it, who ran a website called Smitten Kitchen, where she posted her recipes and experiences practicing, as she puts it, triumphant and unfussy cooking from her tiny New York kitchen.
Subscriber-only issue: The case of the disappearing labia

Jan 23, 2025 | evilwitches.substack.com | Claire Zulkey

Witch Edan Lepucki published a fantastic newsletter earlier this week about the abortion she got after she had already had three kids and was in her 40’s. In her story (behind a paywall; I think it’s worth the few dollars to read) she writes about telling her family, including her children, about her choice.
In for 2025: Remembering your witches

Jan 14, 2025 | evilwitches.substack.com | Claire Zulkey

Hello, how was your winter break? Were you too busy, too isolated or just right? For me, between various illnesses, my husband’s rude early-January birthday, over-correcting from the pre-holiday shuffle, my desire to avoid most news (or reactions to the news), and my friends being in the same boat, I ended up digging in too hard. I spent too much cozy time around my family.
Gift card madness!

Dec 18, 2024 | evilwitches.substack.com | Claire Zulkey

We have a drawer in our house full of gift cards that our kids have accrued over the years, making me feel guilty whenever I open it. This collection is thanks to faraway relatives who don’t always know what our kids want or already have, local but busy loved ones who understandably feel it will be more sensible for kids to buy what they want, and grandparents who are just plain indulgent. Evil Witches Newsletter is a reader-supported publication.

I feel ok about my neck for now but am monitoring the situation

This article from NY Mag’s the Cut has been on my mind since I first saw it it, wherein a reader wrote in to ask if it’s good practice to start getting facelifts around age 45-50 and if doing it early is preventive. Three completely impartial New York plastic surgeons she consulted said it was.

I posted this earlier this fall after my son lost his 60th tooth: heard my teeth-gritting over our badly planned “fun” decision and offered her own: (And yeah, I gotta agree: if your mom or grandma tries to give you a “fill your own” Advent calendar for your children, no matter how beautifully handcrafted it is or how much the old lady thinks it will cre… Keep reading with a 7-day free trial Subscribe to Evil Witches Newsletter to keep reading this post and get 7 days of free access to the...
Witches on the run

Nov 20, 2024 | evilwitches.substack.com | Claire Zulkey

After absolutely despising running for the first 28 years of my life, a trainer/friend showed me how to do it without peeing my pants or coughing up a lung. I was then a runner for a little over ten years, running in three half marathons, a few ten-milers and other shorter-distance races. I loved making a race plan, following it and having it pay off. I loved the endorphins and the up-and-down of getting through a crappy run to know a good one was probably after.
Just text me if something happens

I haven’t engaged with the news or social media since a brief moment last Wednesday morning. Neither has my husband. We got the New York Times delivered on Sunday, and I pulled out the crossword and books section and recycled the rest without looking at it. Life at home has been strangely content. It helps that the punitive middle school football season is over. But the kids are getting a better version of their parents than they have in a long time. We’ve been playing more board games.
