happy deez2k!!!
It is my genuine wish that you’re reading this whilst lounging poolside or while attending a respectable clam bake, but however this note finds you, I just wanna take a quick sec this week to say thank you.
It’s been a truly insane summer for Deez Links, between winding up on Revue’s Most Popular Media Newsletters ranking, losing the podcast v-card on an interview with Freelance Pod, and getting name-dropped with our own newsletter heroes in Vanity Fair. This morning, Deez Links officially hit 2,000 subscribers — AKA, the semi arbitrary milestone set back when Deez Links was still something to explain in the context of Deez Nuts (thereby confirming your worst suspicions, sry….) — and there’s just this like, general numbing feeling all over my face trying to process it.
Thanks for not only reading, subscribing, and supporting this ridiculously fun passion project, but also for personally giving me a rarefied space and community to gain confidence as a writer and member of the media industry peanut gallery. You guys make this feel so legit, and it’s got me thinking & planning all kinds of stuff in the months to come.
I have ooooooone more thing I’m super excited to share with you, hopefully soon, and then I’ll be heading out for vacation in a few weeks and giving your inbox some good ol’ ~me time~. (after vacay though… should we do more totes?).
