#BreakThings: A Small Request

01.28.21

One of my goals for this newsletter is to break 2,500 subscribers by the end of the first six months, and we are so close.

Yesterday, I noticed that, while we have around 1,800 e-mail subscribers, 3,000+ people read this newsletter each day. That means some of you are visiting this site each day, but not subscribing to the e-mail list.

I understand not wanting to add another daily email to your inbox, so I won’t push, but it would really help me reach my goal if you would subscribe.

As for everyone else, if you like this newsletter and it brightens your day, that makes me really happy. Please consider inviting your friends to join us.

Okay, enough of the hard sell. It’s been a long day, let’s take a break.

Several years ago, I took a new job that I was very excited about. It took me a year to see how toxic the place and my boss was. It took me another year to get out.

Career Contessa has a great article on spotting a toxic workplace, existing in one, and finding your way out. Don’t miss it.

Over the past year, as restaurants have struggled to survive, many of us have turned to UberEats, Seamless, and DoorDash to enjoy a restaurant meal safely. But the convenience of delivery is costing restaurants dearly. Many apps charge 20-30% per order, putting restaurants in a terrible position. Learn more on Eater.

These pave claw hoops from Missoma are my favorite earrings. They would make a good gift for Valentine’s Day. And, best of all, they’re under-$100.

Red flags in a relationship aren’t always obvious. Sometimes, they’re glaring. But that doesn’t mean we always heed their warning.

What’s the biggest red flag you’ve ever ignored? I once dated a man who would go totally dark for days at a time. I looked past the behavior for weeks because he was “so busy with work.” He was blocking my number when his girlfriend was visiting from San Diego. That was fun.

Read more red flags, some of them truly hysterical or unbelievable, on Twitter.

This is why inclusion matters.

I dare you not to tear up.
