Happy birthday, happy break! Honestly, every time a woman I admire says no (even to me!) or otherwise draws a boundary, it's such a gift and I reminder that we can do that, too!

Happy Birthday! Every time your email pops up in my account I'm like "Ooh a FunEmail!" with absolutely zero (like, less than zero?) thought of the amount of time it's been since the previous. I'm sorry substack puts the grind-metrics-machine-monster front and center to make you constantly freak out but no one else notices.* Probably because of their kids sports schedule but my kids don't do sports so I don't even have that excuse.

*I'm stressing about this sentence for two reasons: 1) obviously unsure if the asterisk goes inside or outside the period but don't have the will to check in another tab and 2) I don't want to imply that I don't care because I enjoy getting FunEmail and I am a paid subscriber but if you asked me how many emails you sent last year vs. how many I expected, I would stare at you like you asked your children what they wanted to eat. [blankly, as if no one had every thought to pose such a question].
