A Thing Or Two We’re Doing Besides Coveting Retainers
If you’ve ever wanted MORE where this email came from, can we introduce you to Secret Menu, our shiny new hub for members-only content? For $4 a month, you’ll get a bonus newsletter every week. There will be shopping deep-dives. There will be reading roundups. There will be condiments. We’ll be donating all July subscription fees to Black Art Futures Fund, and the first Secret Menu installment will hit inboxes on Thursday. Want in?
