Hello, welcome to our new subscribers!
Before we begin, here are NEW POSTS you may have missed since our last update:

Karyn shared an email she received from 2002 and no one commented on it
Karyn explained how the perfect “afternoon delight” isn’t so much a nooner as it is a game of ping pong
With that said — hello and happy Sunday! One week into this Substack got us feeling like Drake. Nothing can stop us. Except maybe COVID. That probably could.
We worked out some kinks this first week and have a new plan. The way Substack works is that we have to send you an email to alert you about new posts. But since we don’t want to blow up your inbox, we've decided we’re only going to send you one email a week on Wednesdays, even though we’ll be posting multiple times a week! (We reserve the right to email you a second time if the post is really good…and we’ll be the deciding factor in that.) This weekly email will contain links & summaries to all the latest posts, much like we just did above. That way we can keep you informed on what’s new without being annoying.
With that said, you can always browse our Substack at any point during the week to see the latest posts as they go live, or even add our RSS feed to a feed reader if you’re stuck in the early 2000s and still use one of those.
(On second thought, we don’t mean to diss anyone who still uses a feed reader because feed readers were fucking awesome and we can’t believe they fell out of popularity. [To any young folks reading this, feed readers allowed you to choose the content that was served to you rather than relying on social media algorithms to decide what you see. In our humble opinion, they were taken away so big tech could make money on you.] Actually, fuck the establishment — let’s start a movement to bring feed readers back. Feedly is the best free option and we’re adding it to our “Favorites” toolbar right now.)
Now back to the plan. Our new weekly schedule is as follows:
Monday - New post from Jen or Karyn
Tuesday - Weekly “What We Bought” Video
Wednesday - Weekly Newsletter (Emailed with links to everything!)
Thursday - Two Throwback Posts
Friday - New post from Jen or Karyn
Saturday - New post from Jen or Karyn
Sunday - New post from Jen or Karyn
We hope you’ve been enjoying the content! Please subscribe if you can. We’ll start putting some posts behind the paywall this week. (We have kids to feed.)
Love you always!
