Newsletter Subscribe 📨
A weekly dispatch of what has caught my attention — the weird, the wonderful, and the genuinely thought-provoking. Free, and sent every week since 2018.
01 // Subscribe by email
02 // A habit, not a funnel
This is a mailing list, not a marketing channel. Here is exactly what you are signing up for, and what you are not.
What You Get
- One email a week, written by hand, not generated
- New podcast episodes announced in the same place
- Links, recommendations, and the odd meme
- The occasional quiet week when life gets in the way
What You Don’t
- No paywall — everything I publish stays free to read
- No sponsor reads, no advertising, no affiliate links
- No drip sequences, no onboarding series, no re-engagement campaign
- No list swapping — your address stays with me
If you would rather support the work than receive more email, that is a different page — and the zine is the thank you.
