Hey, merry Christmas and happy Hanukkah! Thank you so much for following this Substack and contributing to my lifelong goal of not working a 9-5 anymore (granted, I still work a lot even if my husband did PIP me, it’s just more like, 6-7 AM, 9-10 AM, 3-5 PM and then 9-10 PM. But hey!! At least I don’t have to go to “conferences” anymore.)
For this holiday, I wanted to give you guys a gift: a previous paid article about the rise and fall of millennial business casual clubwear, which I’ve made free for everyone! See link at bottom of this post.
I mean this from the bottom of my heart: you guys have made my dreams possible. A year ago, I was working in tech and trying to enjoy the tail end of my maternity leave while staring down a depressing barrel of knowing I’d be working a job I didn’t like, potentially for another two decades, with no more maternity leaves (unless some of you can convince Nick to have another baby- can we get a Change.org petition going?) Because of your support—especially from paid subscribers—I am now celebrating my second Christmas with two children, overjoyed at the fact that every Sunday I no longer have Sunday Scaries—instead I’m excited for Banger Article Mondays.
Some of you have even given me ideas for articles and submitted to my paid subscriber AMA/mailbag (paid subscribers feel free to DM the CHH Chat for the link!) Founding members (aka Sicko/Gooner Tier) have joined the discussion at the Discord. Free subscribers have been incredibly impactful too, especially providing much-needed QTs on Twitter and Bluesky. No matter how you’ve joined me, you’ve made a huge impact in helping me work my dream career and get (hopefully) funny and interesting content out to the people, 5-7 times a week. That’s a lot of writing, and you guys have helped make it possible!
If you’re not already a subscriber and came along this post through some other avenue, I strongly encourage you to subscribe- try out a free subscription if you’re not sure about committing yet! Although I promise, I write so much that paid subscribers get more than their money’s worth.
Babies are the best, here's my support for one more!
Nick
Have another baby. Hope that helps
