Friday Lunch Special: Blue Crab, Flight Paths, Fill in the Blanks, and Trapper Keeper

It's a little bit of everything!

First, an announcement!

Drumroll, please!

The time has come, friends. Today’s Friday Lunch Special is for paid subscribers of Pretend it’s a Newsletter! I am thrilled/nervous/excited about this change, but after taking a couple of weeks to think about it I feel confident that this is a great next step in my newsletter universe. 

The Brass Tacks 

There are almost 1100 of you here right now and that number is steadily growing which is exciting. Less than 3% of you are paid subscribers, but the 3% of you who HAVE paid to subscribe have fundamentally changed my life and what I believe is possible for this newsletter. 

You’ve Got Options!

If you haven’t already become a paid subscriber, maybe today is the day! You can support this newsletter for $8 a month, $88 a year, or there’s an option to become a Founding Member and pay what you want. All subscribers get a once a week newsletter, but paid subscribers get an additional Friday Lunch Special each week. If you want to support with a paid subscription, but need it discounted for any reason, feel free to use this link.

A huge thank you to Kaitlin, Sarah, and Jess for upgrading in the past week! 

And now, I’ve got one Friday Lunch Special coming right up for you.

Once upon a time I was a girl who wrote long, winding, heartfelt captions on Instagram. Now I’m a girl who has Instagram blocked on my phone most of the time. I try to write every day and sometimes there are tidbits that aren’t full-newsletter-worthy, that I still really like. Those bits and bobs will live here, along with some recommendations and links. Friday Lunch Special is a little bit of everything. Bon appétit!
