Hi all! I’m Jason Basa Nemec and I write Ideas Over Drinks: short personal essays paired with cocktail recipes and techniques. The ideas part includes all sorts of things I’m learning about, ranging from parenting (I’m a stay-at-home dad), feminism, antiracism work, and beyond. The drinks portion interrogates and expands upon classic cocktails, with a growing emphasis on non-alcoholic options.

One of my favorite Substack writers is Mandy Len Catron, who writes The Loneliness Project. Though she grapples with what she calls “the existential loneliness of being human,” her essays are some of the most hopeful, wonder-packed writing I have yet to come across in this talent-packed online world. One of my favorites is “Kindness as an antidote to loneliness,” in which she shares what she did when a woman slammed what she called her overuse of the word “like” in an NPR interview. Check it out!
