A Thing or Two We’re Doing Besides Moving to Substack
It’s Announcement City, U.S.A., over here! Starting next week, this email will be coming at you via Substack. It will remain free (as it has been since 2012…which, weird flex but okay!). There will also be a paid subscriber situation if you want to be able to access and search the archives of 220-and-counting missives we’ve sent since 2020. Thank you for your support always and for making being in your inbox every week such a GD treat.

Remembering a time when a Seth Rogen and James Franco movie launched an international crisis.
Apologizing for linking you to a paywalled post, but I’ve cooked Tiny Tomato Pasta four times in the last month, sooo….
Needing another plush toy in my home like I need a hole in my head, but here we are.
