SORRY (not sorry) - but I owe you some reading (my emails weren't sending)
Everything is a hot mess
Dear readers,
Happy January 8th! It has now been one week and a day since the new year, and I expect everyone is having a better time than I am. Between my mother being hospitalized, some gross male behavior, and existential angst, I also recently discovered my email settings were broken. This means about 75% of my posts never made it to your inbox but were viewed from Twitter.
Firstly, I’m genuinely sorry about that, unlike those marketing trend emails of ‘sorry’ and not being sorry but being coy about it. I am not being coy about it. I am sorry you missed on the emails. I am not sorry about it though, because there is this email. Now, either you kept your resolution or not, but the only thing I’m truly sorry about is if you missed some fantastic writing I did recently - so I’m doing something about it.
Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sending digest emails to resurface the best content you missed. Think of this as your catch-up reading list and if you’re already behind on your new year resolution, don’t worry.
Let’s start with the essentials:
My (currently) 2nd most-read piece. A deep dive into the Olivia Nuzzi scandal, quantifying what happens when journalists monetize their romantic entanglements. Part spreadsheet, part cultural criticism.
A personal essay on leaving Amsterdam. What it feels like to divorce a continent and what you learn about yourself in the process. This was unedited stream of consciousness so you know if I were a Beatnik man, you’d be all over it and writing about how amazing my writing is too.
Why Not Your Typical Finance Bro Exists
The manifesto. Why I started writing this, what I’m trying to do, and why the intersection of finance, geopolitics, and culture matters.
More coming soon in the form of digest emails. Thank you for being here.
