SI still around? The swimsuit edition was always an “acceptable” porn magazine. It’s demise like “American” Beer companies is both predictable and welcome.

Congratulations on your well deserved success.

If you had not arrived on the scene, there would still be a peach-size hole in my brain.

I'm so happy I could help you with that lol!

Congratulations on your Senior Editor position at the Federalist, that's great. Keep up the good work!

There's a line from my favorite poem, (actually it's more like an instruction manual for a fulfilling life than a poem, which means I have room for other favorite poems) Desiderata. It says, "take kindly the council of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth." That would include SI swimsuit cover poses when you're 81. Or as my step-mother (who is a goddess at 70 btw) likes to say, "we're all on our way to getting butt-ugly. May as well accept it."

As frontier justice becomes the only way forward in blue cities. Red states should work to insulate blue city inhabitants from DAs like Bragg with robust self defense legislation.

I think you should be on the cover of SI.

Maybe when I'm 81.

Congrats on all fronts, Peachy! I haven’t read a sports illustrated or swimsuit edition in over a decade. For the latter, Instagram provides new bikini photos every minute. Look forward to gifting your book to my wife.

I remember a debate my Mom and Dad had when I was just a kid. Without getting into why it started, this is how it began. Dad made the comment to me that, “It’s not what you know son that’s important, it’s who you know!” To which my summa cum laude mother, who rarely, if ever cursed, quickly replied, Bullshit Emmett! Cream always rises to the top!”

As I read this article, clearly, my mother was right. Congrats on your celebrity!

Peachy , there is a better way to pack lunches. Spend an afternoon assembly lining dozens and dozens of sandwiches and freeze them. Take the frozen sandwich to thaw in the refrigerator overnight. I pay to run a deep freezer for this alone. Save time with this one weird trick! It really works!

My smart mother did that!!

Now that I am about to enter the teenage zone, I have discovered making my child pack his own lunches. When he complains I tell him to “offer it up to God”.

I like that too!

Exhibit #3,578,962 on why I subscribe to Mrs. Peachy: "When I am very old I will shuffle past the lunchbox display at Target and I will have a PTSD flashback of making half a dozen PB&J sandwiches at 6:30 in the morning."

Guess I'm way out of the minor brooks let alone the main stream. Had ta look up the meaning of MILTF

Peachy, it's great that all these opportunities are opening up for you. But what happens when you make it big like Taylor Swift? Will you leave us poor wretches in the dust as you sail off towards fame and fortune? I love your writing but I'm afraid of getting too attached and then losing you. Can you reassure me with or without a blood loyalty oath?

My chances of fame and fortune are slim, but if it happens rest assured I will never forsake my readers! xo

Peachy, you’re my second Substack paid subscription. First was Glenn Reynolds. I know there will be more, probably many more to come. But you’re my second, which I mention by way of offering high praise. Congratulations on your growing notoriety!
