Amanda Rosen | In Case Y'all Missed It
Commentary & Dispatches from the Messy Middle
The time for rage-bait is over…
Tired of being the only one in your friend group who wants to talk politics and bake banana bread? Want real talk about culture, policy, and parenting without the rage-bait or the “both sides” shrug?
You’re in the right place.
You believe in nuance, accountability, and not losing your damn mind every time the news hits.
You want to raise informed kids, challenge lazy narratives, and stay engaged without falling into a pit of despair.
That’s what this space is for. You’re welcome here.
“In case y’all missed it…” grew out of my musings I shared on social media. Through that process, we’ve found each other.
This is your place for thoughtful political commentary, cultural dispatches, and the radical act of caring anyway.

I also write books…
If you've seen Hamilton the musical then you're familiar with Aaron Burr and the song he sings with Alexander Hamilton entitled "Dear Theodosia". A fatherly letter in musical form, "Dear Theodosia" states the heartfelt hopes both Burr and Hamilton likely had for their firstborn children.
We know what tragedy befalls Philip Hamilton. But... what happened to Theodosia? How did Aaron Burr's tragic fall from grace impact her? These questions led me to uncover Theodosia's amazing story, which inspired me to embark on writing my first novel.
