I got the best horoscope. I predicted your decision to go paid this year. I am half heartbroken, because I don't have a budget for substacks and will lose your enriching content, but I'm also inspired and proud and happy for you and yadda fucking yadda. Go get em. Don't forget the little guys when you're huge. You probably will. And that's okay. πŸ‘πŸ»πŸΎπŸ”₯πŸŽ‰β€οΈ

Which horoscope is yours?

Also, fear not re: the paywall. I've given a lot of thought as to how to implement a paid strategy placing an emphasis on carrots rather than sticks. In general, paid subs will get more perks, but most of my weekly stories will remain accessible for all.

I'm a little guy at heart. In the exceedingly small event I get "huge" I'll just keep shitting on the other "huge" people.

Thanks for your support!

COVID continues to haunt us! It's written in the stars! Also, though: how is Virgo going to navigate all those orgies while keeping the chances of STD contraction so low? (Asking for a friend.)

Good observation! Was wondering if anyone would notice that. According to a long profile I read on MBS, he hosts massive sex parties on his yacht, but he screens all the girls for STDs beforehand.

As a fellow Virgo with keen attention to detail, that seems like a solid practice. I figure a 1/3 chance of getting the clap under those conditions is actually pretty high.

OMG! The name "Field Research" is more literal than I imagined!

I wish the Omega variant came with fewer growths. These tentacles pushed me up a shirt size.

OK, the Leo is a little too fucking accurate.

I was feeling good about my horoscope until MBS entered the picture and I saw my Covid & STD chances. I guess orgies have a price.

There are a TON of famous Virgos -- including you, me, and Dennard -- because adults make poor choices around the holidays. I could've put us over by going with Beyonce or Idris, but I also could've made it worse by going with DeSantis. MBS seemed somehow reasonable.

I’m glad you didn’t go with Ron DeSantis. That would’ve increased chances of getting Covid and an STD.
