          “It was a Herculean task to write, draw, publish, and moderate every day in real time for an entire month, but well worth my little team’s effort. Hundreds of Grown-Ups Table members said the 30 days of drawing was life-changing for them, especially the community element. It was for me too. I can’t wait to do it again next year.”

          calls her chat “my favorite part of running my newsletter.” She initiates each conversation with short prompts about pop culture topics and live events—“the night of the Oscars, the early-morning hours after Netflix drops a batch of Love Is Blind episodes, or even the day everyone’s Spotify Wrapped drops.” The space is thriving, with some posts getting more than a thousand replies.
         </span>
         <strong>

          Hunter says the chat “feels like the roped-off VIP section of a nightclub, or the group chat of all the kids who got cellphones early: you really just have to be there.”

           “The chat is a rapid-fire conversation of memes, hot takes, unpopular opinions, ruthless inside jokes, and earned (and sometimes unearned) shade. There’s no better low-effort, high-reward way to engage with all my readers. Sometimes I use it as a scratch pad to work through some ideas (‘would anyone care if I wrote about this?’), sometimes it’s a highly customized well of inspiration (a polite way of saying my audience assigning me to write about a trending topic), but it’s always a meeting point for like-minded pop culture obsessives. ‘Starting the new drop of [Love Is Blind] episodes that released *17 hours ago* only to see 400 messages already in the chat,’ one person messaged. ‘
