Madeleine I was one of your first readers and I’ve continued as a subscriber ever since. I really totally enjoy all that you write - even when it makes me wince - and I especially love your rankings! Changed my biscuit eating!🤣 I know I can rely on the Spinoff and The Bulletin - that trustworthiness is hard earned and rare.
👏🏾Thank you for this weekend catchup - I had missed reading the delightful piece about the Wellington bakeries closing because John Key starting the cycleways project "created a bubble of confused, undirected rage from talkback radio callers so severe it caused a rupture in time itself" which meant that even non-existent cycleways could cause a business to fail 🤷🏾♀️Could explain Seymour thinking his vanity project(s) wasting $$millions are acceptable in today's reality rather than decades past?
🙋🏽♀️What an amazing journey you have had so far! - sometimes when I am "stuck" (neurodiversity strikes again!) I tell myself "just do ONE thing" ... amazing how often that causes positive forward momentum (& takes one task of the to-do list of never-ending "to-dos")🤔
An idea to expand the SPINOFF & give Aotearoa commentators a boost - include more guest posts from Substack writers such as Dr Bryce Edwards, Mountain Tui, Nick's Korero, & etc. - IF they are open to it of course! There is some extraordinary depth of research behind some of it, & on relevant subjects we should be aware of .... if your readers like what they say & how they say it, it could increase THEIR readership as well as yours. NOT interested in BOTHSIDES - just rationale, well researched, "comes with receipts" articles to help widen understanding of Aotearoa issues that affect ordinary Kiwis 🤷🏾♀️
