dear friends,
it’s a new month!
and you know what that means (or you’re about to!):
it’s time for me to wish you a happy new month! so, happy new month!
1) HAPPY FATHER MONTH!
this month, i celebrate my father because june is the month of father's day. or fathers' day. or fathers day. now historically, i'm a fan of telling the people that you love that you love them whenever you want to, as opposed to only on special days designated for that love. maybe these days can be a nice reminder, for people who were like “oh i meant to tell this person i love them every moment i'm alive, but then i got busy at work so here is an annual card!” so, it is true that i love my dad and i'm happy that he's my father every day, and also this month is father’s day (also why not “dad day,” looks more fun, less formal), so what am i going to do, NOT tell my dad that i love him this month? i love my dad! if you are or know a dad that you love, happy dad day month to you and them! and if you aren’t or don’t, you can borrow my dad to love!
2) HAPPY MOTHER MONTH ALSO SURPRISE!
june is also the month of my mother's birthday. (also mother's day was in may and my dad's birthday was in april BUT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT JUNE RIGHT NOW). june 22, my mom turns the next age that she is! and also, we all become a different age EVERY day. which is essentially the spirit of this very "happy new month" newsletter. we all gain a day in age every day. a new month begins right now, and also right now. i could send out messages every MOMENT saying "happy new moment!" but they'd have to be very short, and your inboxes would be infinitely full, so instead i'll go the jazz route: it's all about the "happy new moment" messages i'm NOT sending. that's what makes each of those moments happy. the point is, happy birthmonth, mom! i love my mom! and i offer the same deal as i offered with my dad. feel free to borrow my mom to love if you wish as well! and happy birthmonth to YOU whenever that is!
3) HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!
june is officially the month of pride, though i also hope that everyone loves themselves and each other and celebrates their differences and embraces our similarities every month! and also of course, it’s pride month, so happy pride to my LGBTQIA+ friends, family, fellow humans, and all the allies out there and everyone! some people might be mad about pride but that’s silly because it’s PRIDE month, not WRATH month. so i love you and hope you love and are loved as much as possible, this month and all months. love is love is love is love, i hear, and that matches my experience. love to all!
4) HAPPY SUMMER MONTH! BONUS! (I USUALLY ONLY HAVE THREE TOPICS!)
june also sees the beginning of summer, and in the spirit of father month and mother month (kind of!), i have a new project that i am bringing into existence this summer that i'm very excited about. i'm neither a mother nor a father, but i do create and produce things in this world, and this august 22 i am filming a new standup comedy special in NYC and i’d love for you to be there if you can and want. it's a show that my girlfriend rini and i created together, about our relationship and love AND MORE. if you've ever heard of love, or comedy, or me, or anyone or anything, this is the show for you. we've been working on it for years and we are super happy with it and proud of it (happy pride again! different kind of pride? ok!) and very excited to birth it into existence. and you're invited to watch the filming of that birth! (the perfect phrasing to invite people to be in the audience at a live comedy show taping, right?) normally, i don't use this "happy new month" newsletter to announce my comedy projects, but this one is very special. i haven't filmed an hour comedy special in over a decade, so this seems like an extra special moment and month and season worthy of celebrating in this way. so, thank you for receiving this! if you're in NYC, i hope you can make it to one of the tapings. if you know folks in NYC, i hope you'll share this information with them and encourage them to attend! if you're anywhere, i hope you enjoy this month and pride and your family and friends and life and love and summer or whatever season it's becoming for you, if you're somewhere it's not going to be summer. happy summer and happy somewhere!
(also if you'd love to be there for the taping and cost is an issue, messages me and i can get you on the guest list. i know a guy and the guy is me. thanks and love, all!)
thank you for receiving this!
much love to you and yours and all!
happy june month!
