Aunt Jackie is a free and paid newsletter. If you find yourself reading it regularly and you enjoy it and find it valuable, please consider becoming a paid subscriber. This gives you full access and it helps me make a living as an artist. 

Hello dear Reader,

Lately I’ve wanted to talk about certain things that have felt too vulnerable to share with everyone so I will be keeping them behind a paywall. The act of opting in to this newsletter financially not only helps me make a living, it also demonstrates a certain understanding and trust. I appreciate everyone being here, paid or unpaid, I just have to keep certain boundaries to protect my mental health. Writing such personal essays is vulnerable for me, and vulnerability on repeat with no breaks is a recipe for burnout.
