Hello everyone, happy Monday! Spring has officially sprung and we’re feeling it. We have a lot of updates today, so let’s get down to business!
The Business
Since debuting at #15 on Substack’s Humor leaderboard, we’ve moved up to #12! We couldn’t have done it without you, so many thanks! We’re very competitive people and we will win this thing called Substack if it’s the last thing we do, so please help us break into the top ten by sharing it with your friends:
If you’re a free subscriber, please consider joining our cult. By upgrading to paid for $5 a month or $50 a year, you’ll get weekly videos, vintage posts from our old blogs (with new commentary), access to weekly threads, and the ability to comment.
We’d also like to announce a new benefit for founding members — an invite to join our Friday Night Zoom Crew for an unforgettable evening of fun!
Ever since COVID started we’ve been chatting with our friends every Friday night NO MATTER WHAT and things get wild. We have theme nights, play games, gossip, bitch, HAVE COCKTAILS and more. So if this sounds fun, become a founding member today! (To our early founding members, we’ll honor this for you too! Please reach out to Karyn via Instagram to set it up.)
Now, onto the good stuff!
The Good Stuff
Since our last roundup, we’ve posted quite a few things! Here are some highlights:
Jen shared what she did during the pandemic and revealed a serious addiction.
Karyn is moving and just ordered her first appliance ever—a retro refrigerator. See pics of her new (very old) kitchen. Fridge pics to come.
Jen shared Part 2 and Part 3 her seven steps to success, aka The Pivot.
Karyn can’t afford to get her hair done anymore (but it seems everyone else can from the comments?).
Jen revealed five things she’d tell her teenage self (and Karyn shared one good one in the comments).
We released two new videos and two Flashback Friday vintage posts:
Jen Gets in Touch with Her Inner Child & Karyn's Ready to Party
The Time I Had a Mouse and $7 to My Name by Karyn (who has a feeling she’ll get mice at her new place too)
That’s it! Before we go, can we take a moment to appreciate the thumbnails Karyn has been making for the videos? She’s so talented.
Thank you again to all our subscribers — both free and paid! (But if we could only save one person from a burning building you know who it’d be, boo.)
We hope you get everything you want this week.
Well, since I read Jen's first book the year it came out (naturally, have also read the others), turned others onto her musings and enjoy her on Twitter/Instagram, you got me as a Founding Member! Also, Jen & Fletch's holiday movie reviews helped get me through the pandemic. Good luck on this new venture! Cheers!
Karyn’s thumbnails are really something. (What *can’t* she do?!)
