I loved it, but what pushed me across the line of subscribing was this: "If you didn't think it was funny, you can still order our book and give it to someone you hate." You are my people.

Hi Team! I am LOVING your book which I found out about at the "Everything is Fine" podcast recording where I found out about this Substack. I have a fresh rejection from McSweeney's just about an hour ago regarding something I wrote about Season 3 Episode 1 of The Bear. I can tell you all about the rejection or...I can submit to you, which is what I would really like to do.

How can I share it with you? I'm getting a "must be invited to submit" vibe...or maybe I just didn't get the memo.

Having received very similar rejections from TNY and McSweeney's, I empathize.

Loved this piece. "I hadn’t been planning on your midwiving an appurtenance of corporate greed" literally made me snort. And I don't snort lightly. Or pleasantly, for that matter.

You called your Substack "a man cave, but for women." I don't want to intrude, but I feel like we may be kindred spirits so I'm going to subscribe. I can sit in the back of the cave if you want. I won't make too much noise.

Welcome to the cave. Just sit down when you pee in it, ok?
