BTW: A New Special Feature for Paid Subscribers!

#001: What I'm reading, why I'm seasonally depressed, funny stuff, and more!

Welcome to BTW, a totally experimental and probationary project where I share a bunch of random stuff with people who have decided to pay to subscribe to this newsletter. This is the first ever version of this, and who knows, it could be the last!

Reminder, this post is behind the newly-installed paywall. The main reason for this is because I’m planning on being a bit more vulnerable, personal, and unpolished in this feature. I suppose my logic is that if you’re willing to pay me $3 per month, you can be trusted with what I share here. I don’t feel the need to blast all of this out to thousands of people and the broader internet. :)

So, here’s the rundown:

• Let’s Talk: a one-take, laid-back walk through what I wrote on Tuesday (and other things)

• Looking Back…: highlights from the last week or so

• Looking Ahead…: what I’m looking forward to

• The Funny Part: a funny piece of the internet that hasn’t yet made it to The Funnies

• A Quote to Consider: something to think about from something I’ve read recently

• A Question for You: answer me!

• Some Art: a cool picture or piece of art I saw this week

Let’s Talk

Below, I ramble for almost 14 minutes, reflecting on what I wrote Tuesday—talking through work changes, summer happenings, and more beyond what I wrote. Maybe you’d like to listen! If so, you can listen right below here, and if not, just keep scrolling for the goods!
