Week 7 Newsletter: The Power of Self-Respect
Twitter is the weirdest social media platform. It’s the least complicated and is generally where a lot of shit starts.

Week 6 Newsletter: Fuck the lakers
Sometimes, ideas for newsletter themes fall right into my lap (Fall Guys, Super Mario, Atlanta). A whole lot of other times, I have to do some work to think of a good idea, or even a serviceable one.
