Don’t let trivialities like reality and sanity bog you down. Naysaying and skepticism are the national pastimes of fearful, close-minded traditionalists.

Two posts next week!
First, on Tuesday, January 3 at 9:30 a.m. CT, you’ll receive a special post detailing my new Field Research “business plan.”
In short, I’m launching paid subscription tiers and planning to paywall select stories going forward. I’ll provide the full details of how everything will work, articulate my reasoning, and hopefully convince you to support this weekly madness with your hard-earned dollars.
Then, on Friday, January 6 at 9:30 a.m. CT, we’ll kick off 2023 in style with the latest entry in “The talks.”
Happy New Year!

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. 👍🏻🍾🔥🎉❤️
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.)
