Congratulations! This is truly my favorite read on Substack - you balance a social anthropologist’s eye with a glorious sense of fun. It’s a unique perspective and one I so enjoy.

This is such a nice comment. I almost teared up a little, because it’s exactly what I want to do. Thank you so much 😭😍✨

Congratulations!! And the YDN is truly doing the good work in this reporting situation. Columbia was the same, and Stanford Daily was the one the broke the MTL scandal. So, kudos to the student journalists out there.

I was so impressed when I saw that! Local and small journalism is so important because it takes so long for some of these stories to hit mainstream (if at all). Some of my favorite stories are from local papers

Happy 6 month Anniversary! 🎈

You deserve all the accolades and success! Much more to come I am sure!

Ok but Patrick Murphy’s has to stay open. They are the nicest, most accommodating people- will deliver anything at any time. Besides, where else will all the private school girls use their platinum cards? Oh wait- they all have accounts. You don’t even need a card there! The best 🤌🏼

Thank you Substack 👑 I still giggle thinking about making you describe to me what Substack was at that party and being like… scrunched confused face: “and you make money from that?” 😆

Emma Gannon's avatar

🤣 Substack clearly works best via word of mouth 🤣💰
