August Newsletter from Michael Z
August was busy! I read a lot, joined multiple clubs, and made changes to my home!
Newsletters
Each month, I send a personal newsletter to subscribers. It is a mix of personal blog, reflections, book reviews, and at least one photo of a rabbit. You can subscribe below or via Substack

March Newsletter from Michael Z
Oof, March has been rough! I have been injured the entire time. I started feeling injured mid-February, so it’s felt like forever.
February Newsletter from Michael Z
It’s been a good month. Short and sweet. I remember feeling much more positive than negative, despite any challenges and, you know, ever reading the news. I felt gentle and calm this month—it was full of the stillness of winter, but without the loneliness, and that’s what I want in a February.
January Newsletter from Michael Z
New Year, New Me but by accident
December Newsletter from Michael Z
Happy New Year's Eve!
November Newsletter from Michael Z
Happy last taste of autumn! It’s getting colder here in the Pacific Northwest, and back on the east coast it has, apparently, already snowed. It’s been a semi-eventful month.
October Newsletter from Michael Z
Happy Halloween! Or, the last day of Halloween, if like me, that’s how you celebrate.
September Newsletter from Michael Z
Happy Autumn!!
August Newsletter from Michael Z
Happy almost fall!August is a strange month, and this one passed at a very confusing rate. It felt so short, but events from the beginning of the month feel so far away.
July Newsletter from Michael Z
Happy almost August! It’s been an enjoyable summer for me. Mainly because I have a window AC in the main part of my apartment this year. I’ve noticed when I have air conditioning at home, I have a great summer because I can hide and pretend it’s not hot.
June (and Pride Month!) Newsletter from Michael Z
Happy Pride Month!
May Newsletter from Michael Z
May has been pleasant, though I can’t remember why. Something about the word, and the weather. It’s been a very social and busy month, which is fantastic, because after my last newsletter I promptly got sick and was isolating for two weeks.
April Newsletter from Michael Z
My second ever newsletter was about Springtime and how excited I was about it. Living in the Pacific Northwest has been a perfect climate for me.
March Newsletter from Michael Z
It’s March! I have committed to it being spring. It hasn’t actually been warm most days, but it has still felt springy. Some flowers are blooming, and a lot of birds are back. They are demanding bird seed, which is fair since we have a bird feeder.I started feeding crows this week too, and it’s amazing.
Michael Z's February Newsletter
I hope you’re having a good mid-late winter! I am almost keeping up with my goal to have small social gatherings each month.
Michael Z's January Newsletter
Hello lovely readers! I’d love to hear how you rang in 2025. This year I was able to go to a NYE party and co-host a few friends/family for New Year’s Day Japanese lunch on January 1st with my partner. This is the second New Year’s day since we’ve lived together, and I felt more involved this year in preparing, which was very lovely.
Michael Z's December Newsletter
Approaching the finish line of the year!
Michael Z's November Newsletter
We got through November! One month left of the year.
Michael Z's October Newsletter
October has been an eventful month! I turned 33. I quit my job. AND October brought the first full week of being engaged!!! I made us rings and we kissed our first engaged kiss on the beach! t’s been a huge moment of change, a big wave of rediscovering myself, trusting loved ones, and looking at a beautiful future (with my betrothed).
Michael Z's September Newsletter
I’m home alone for a few weeks (cry) and so it’s been boys’ night for a while. The boys being me and the rabbits.
