HOUSEKEEPING! As a reminder, this summer I started sending longer versions of some posts and hosting subscriber-only threads for paid subscribers of my newsletter TEA NOTES. I’m hopeful this new model will allow for my work to be truly user-supported in a way that’s more sustainable for me longterm. If you’ve enjoyed the last fourteen years of posts on this blog, I’d be so grateful for your support on TEA NOTES. If a paid subscription isn’t in the cards for you right now, please consider sharing my newsletter with a friend! Three referrals gets you one-month free! (Twenty-five gets you a whole year!)
