Hello all!
So I got some feedback that the only one email per week system is not working out. Apparently when people sign up for a newsletter that immediately emails them things as soon as they are published it means that they wish to be emailed things as soon as they are published.
Should that conclusion have been obvious from the beginning? Perhaps. Did I let my anxiety take over final decision making instead of my logic? Entirely possible.
(By which I mean of course I did. If anxiety didn't take over the fast majority of my decisions I'd have barely anything to talk about on the disability front. Sheesh.)
Anyhoo, first up thank you very much to those who sent in feedback because that is super helpful. Yes, even those of you who smacked me over the head in Twitter DMs to make sure I got the point. Your clear messaging was much appreciated because, again, sometimes obvious logic escapes me. Ahem.
Second, I will be moving to sending out emails as stuff goes up on the website. Barring extreme circumstances this should at the very least be no more than one email per day, if that. Again we're still very much in the stage of figuring this all out as we go. Much love and appreciation for your collective patience and feedback while this is going on.
(And just to catch everyone up from last Thursday’s newsletter, I posted this analysis of WandaVision episode 6. Everything from now on you’ll get in email as it’s posted.)
Speaking of feedback, as long as I have your ears I want to say thanks to those who have hit the little heart button on the emails and posts. In addition to the shares and RTs (which I am also very appreciative of) that works much like a thumbs up on a YouTube video. In other words it helps show Substack that I'm putting out useful content.
My goal with this newsletter, in addition to stopping my abuse of Twitter threads, is to hopefully get some useful information out there about things like life with disability. So the more we can get this out in front of people who don't already know me the better. Those little clicks of hearts and shares and RTs are a big help with that. So thank you to those who have been doing it, and if you've been on the fence of wondering if that's a worthwhile thing to do then yes, yes it is.
And that is all for now. Thank you again to everybody! It remains true that it means a lot that you all care enough to subscribe, comment, and just prevent me from sending my words out into a cold and merciless void never to be seen again.
