LOVING Issue 04 babe @lizzobeeating’s interview on @nymag’s @thecut (“It’s Just a Matter of Time Till Everybody Loves Lizzo As much as she loves herself”)! LOVE that she’s getting the fame she deserves for the talented powerhouse that she is! And did you know her flute—that’s Sasha Flute to you—has her own insta now: @sashabefluting (Lizzo is a classically trained flautist). Cannot wait for her next (and first major label) album “Cuz I Love You” our this spring (on April 19th) and to see her on @2dopequeens’ last HBO specials. IT’S THE YEAR OF LIZZO IF YOU DIDN’T ALREADY KNOW! #biggrrrlsmallworld #lizzo #100percentthatbitch #sashaflute #blackherstory

Hi there! 🌹It’s your editor, Meg @moonbeam_sega_genesis here! A little real talk because I believe in being transparent and sharing vulnerability since Insta gives false notions of hunky-doriness 24/7/365. 
If you’ve been a follower/reader/supporter of Girl Crush over the years, you may have noticed a slow down over here on the social meeds and the website. I just recently moved across be country almost 4 months ago (NYC after 13 years to LA) and bit off more than I could chew by trying to relocate my life AND simultaneously produce another issue (numero 8—the first time I’ve published twice in one year). It is a privilege I get to do this in my free time (this is not my real job) and help share stories of other women around the world. But the demands of turning out new “content,” competing for the same types of advertising/sponsorship that influencers garner (this is 100% funded by reader support + very spare ads), trying to hack the algorithm of @instagram’s now pay-to-play model for small biz, compensating all our contributors, and producing print issues that are worthy of the stories they contain (my genuine apologies to @mennlay @supernovawomen @anjalouise @solonjeburnett @laundryday.co in particular for misspellings/typos in your #womenincannabis feature in the current issue—that is not representative of our publication), let alone trying to live and give myself the space to recalibrate has taken its toll. I’m going to lay low for awhile and regroup to do my best for the Got a Girl Crush community. You’ll still get newsletters from us on occasion and we will still help serve as a platform to promote others, but for now a little hiatus is in order. 🌹 This started as a @tumblr TEN YEARS AGO HOLY SHIT! 🌹Thanks for your support. It means so much and there’s hopefully some exciting things in store soon... in the meantime, consider purchasing the latest issue (a few typos and all, print serves as humility y’all) with this bitchin cover by @lydia_ortiz and sharing it with a friend.

Sophia Shalmiyev emigrated from Leningrad to New York in 1990, carried away by her father on the cusp of thirteen. The move added thousands of miles to the space between Sophia and her profoundly alcoholic mother, who’d long since abandoned the rites and impositions of motherhood. In her captivating debut memoir, Mother Winter, Sophia reckons with the circumstances and injuries of this early fissure, employing vignettes that astound and scald and seduce, that roil with ache. Memoir, yes, but the book is also a manifesto of sorts—on femininity and motherhood, on the traumas of girl- and womanhood, on who deserves dignity, who gets to hold the microphone. A writer of considerable intellect and curiosity, Sophia wields a delightfully promiscuous pen. Her voice feels singular and necessary, a corollary to the feminist chorus inhabited by the likes of Dorothy Richardson, Marguerite Duras, Ana Mendieta, Kathy Acker and Kat Bjelland.
