The "Support Staff" Edition
Dear Readers,
Thank you, thank you, thank you to my virtual co-curators Lily, Julie, Kathryn, Karen, Nancy, David, Jason, Holly. There is a whole ‘nother group who send me a great piece here and there, usually with a note that says just how much they like coming across something and thinking of the Newsletter. Which makes me glad. And, this is more of a hunch, based on said notes and other emails, regarding those of you who may send nothing at all, except good vibes and continued clicks and forwards every Sunday.
Last night, I went to a longstanding annual Holiday gathering — honored to be included in the culled-for-Covid smaller list. I vibed to uploading a day-of negative Covid-test to their party portal rather than flashing a vaxx card. While donning go-to fancypants and what I hope was a festive top, I vibed to this posh crowd. And Just Like That, this gang really Turned. It. Out. Holiday cheer indeed!
Hope you are vibing a reading state of mind when you open up this email. Then you’ll be the one at your holiday party who knows everything important about Politics, Pop Culture and everything in between— the essential weekly list of the most important content about women..
