The Oldsletters:
Filled with semi-witty wordplay and clickables galore!
Newsraker (or Moonletter)
The best post. The one that made this newsletter the greatest it had ever been since it never wasn’t. Also includes the most shameless self-promotion yet, cleverly non-disguised as political satire, and some practical productivity hacks (that arguably break the conceit).
10. The News Who Lettered Me
An abnormally cranial installment packed with paradoxes and contradictions guaranteed to make your head swell so much you need the Zero G chair advertised herein. Plus several shout outs to Louisiana local artists, filmmakers and podcasters.
9. The News with the Golden Letter
In celebration of the birth of this website (and the inexplicable adoption of these 007 titles), here’s a circular stroll through etymology, time loops, and daily routine, plus a few gadgets and apps to help make it all manageable.
8. News and Let Ter
An update on my travels and a couple of travel gadget recommendations. Plus a grotesque portmantitle of three recently released films and the first of many explanations of my name’s newly adopted X.
7. Diamonds are Newsletter
A contradictory PSA advocating for and against rigorous routines, a Thai take on the recurring pronoun problem, and a tease of why you’ll love and hate the board game I’m developing.
6. On News Majesty’s Secret Letter
An alphabet gumbo of organizational acronyms, a few health and wellness gizmos, a couple of sappy shoutouts, and an only semi-facetious plea that our future robot overlords at least put me in a comfortable sim.
5. News Only Letter Twice
Another of my increasingly odd newsletter intros, followed by a self-referential list featuring the first of many pronoun rambles, several viewing recommendations, plenty of partying, and titles in very expensive looking BOLD!
4. Thundernews (or Letterball)
I abandon the complex categorizations of the previous lists, shout out two heart-wrenching movies, one thought-provoking book and some nose-pleasing candles, plus I plug poker nights and personal writing project, blissfully unaware that both will soon consume my life.
3. Goldletter (or Newsfinger)
This third installment invests equal energy in a recent production (which came out awesome) and a self-imposed 50 day isolation, which was also… something. Plus I shout out a couple personal writing projects, and an apparently controversially named party.
2. From Letter with News
This second addition features shouts for several spectacularly talented women, a deservedly fierce attack on a dastardly deserter named Tom, and a couple of recommendations for combatting anxiety, backpain, distraction, and Tom.
1. Dr. Newsletter
My first foray into spamming everyone I know features an existential crisis, an apology for the infinite emails to come, and an overambitious list including plenty of productivity tips, several fantastic filmmaker mentions, a mini-Atlas of places, plenty of self-promotion AND… even more lists. Clearly not sustainable.
