Yay! You're here

Welcome to our new home

I am thrilled to have moved ‘Things That Don’t Suck” to such an engaged and community oriented platform. Thanks, Substack! I’ve been writing my heart out in preparation for this day, and I absolutely cannot wait to share my newest stories, poems and videos with you in the upcoming days and weeks. 

If you’re brand new, I’m so excited to have you. If you've been with me since Bulletin, you've been my shiny guiding light this year. I appreciate all of you so much. 

If you are currently choosing to be a paid subscriber to this newsletter, THANK YOU! This is the primary way I am making my living right now and your support means the world to me. 

And if you’re not a paid subscriber, let me lay out the plans for this incredible community. 

The paid subscription will include extra posts where I bring in more vulnerability, playfulness, and personality. 

Paid subscribers will receive:

• my more vulnerable and intimate content. the poems that are still blushing. 3am musings typed with my thumbs. stories I'd be more inclined to reveal in a game of Truth or Dare

• writing prompts

• behind-the-scenes looks into my writing process and my life

• private community chat group

• audio readings featuring my buttery voice (vegan butter)

• interactive Q&A

• video messages and readings

• every post (not just the occasional free ones) & full access to the archives

• feelings, lots of feelings

• pep-talks, hope-chests, snort-laughs

Your support will be a big part of setting up this beautiful space and co-creating the community we want, together.

And if if you’d like to gift someone you love for the holiday, you can give a gift subscription. (you altruistic angel!)

Hugging you all from here, and looking forward to all we'll create and learn together.

Love, Andrea 🖤
