It has been 790 days since you last heard from me here. This newsletter, where I asked hard-hitting journalistic questions like, “does my therapist like me?” and “why am I so obsessed with shit?” essentially turned into mixed feelings, a brand I pitched and launched last year. If you follow me online, you’re probably sick of hearing me shill this new venture but I’m sunsetting this newsletter and would love to ask you all to subscribe to mixed feelings if you haven’t already. It is truly my pride & joy. 💜
Some backstory: mixed feelings is a multi-voiced advice column in which readers submit their most confusing existential qualms and I assign incredible writers and experts to respond in essays. I pitched the brand last year with a ridiculous 20-page deck full of bizznesssy words like “IP” and “according to CRM giant Salesforce” (lol). I’m really proud of myself and even prouder of the small team we’ve built to grow this brand.
This past year, we’ve developed our visual style, our editorial voice, created our TikTok, and had our first sponsored newsletter. We also had our first in-person event where we sold out of mf-themed ube cinnamon rolls in two hours each day!
I’m sure a lot of you are subscribed already but sharing this before I make some of these original “incessant rambling” posts private because mixed feelings really is the more realized version of that newsletter anyway <3
will scream, cry, throw up if you subscribe 🤓
thank you, always. Love, mi-anne
<3 <3 <3 luv for obvious reasons
