My dearest and most indefatigable readers,
It’s been 18 months! And you’re still here! We’re still here! The earth is still here! Go team!
Is everyone alright? You’re alright, right? We’re all in one piece?
Great.
I’d like to mark this momentous occasion with some special things just for you and me and the universe.
Thank you for your tenacity and belief. Really. It means a lot for people to stick around for an entire 18 months already to listen to my jokes and seemingly endless philosophical meanderings.
So. The things.
One is a cheaper annual subscription plus a discount on it, and the other = new things.
Alright here’s the party
Annual subscriptions are now €30 cheaper a year! And because we’re all still alive (I hope?), here is 20% off annual paid subscriptions ...forever.
And.
Due to feedback (thanks!), paid subscribers to this newsletter will now receive:
Exclusive creativity BOMBSHELLS that reveal the 1 weird trick to <subscribe to unlock secrets>. Immortal famous artists and writers hate her! Dickens specifically said so in a dream!
Monthly art-making materials: collage pages, elements for art journaling, zines. Downloadable, high-quality image files for printing & using in your own work as you feel the need & joy to do so.
Continuing access to the ongoing instalments of All The Things We Don’t Discuss, an obviously very amazing and creepy Irish gothic novel by YOURS TRULY which you can read about here.
The facetious puppy dog eyes part
Finally, this publication is one of my jobs, and I put a lot of work into it.
I believe in an ethos of paying people for their work.
Especially in the field I’m an expert in, which is that of increasingly frequent existential crises, and art, and writing, where all of our work is undervalued, resources are limited, and the cruel punishments of late-stage capitalism are relentless.
If you love this newsletter, get value out of it, and believe in paying people for their work, consider a paid subscription. Which is now cheaper. And discounted. Here’s the special discount link for you to use should you see fit, and until next time, and, again, thanks for sticking with me,
Jessica
Happy 18 months!!! 🎉
