Yay for restructuring and making YOUR writing project what YOU want it to be! And yay for changing the paywall to what you feel comfortable with. I believe you are the Radiohead of Substack and therefore people should happily pay for what you would be willing to give them for free.

I was tempted to see Babes, but your review makes me feel like I need to pass. Being on the otherside of the whole divide you describe is also really difficult at times (this is a long conversation we should have offline!), and I think that ending would just fucking infuriate me. Of course, I fantasize about a magical land called New Mastic where we could all live side by side and have like a communal garden and share a Netflix account! But the real-life logistics of making something like that happen are just damn impossible. So fuck that ending. We can all lead different, sometimes distant lives and still live a quarter mile at a time together!

Honestly, Babes was a really great, honest exploration until the ending! It really did hurt to see fictional characters living our dream of New Mastic. Like it was a good movie and very funny, but I was also deeply sad at the end 😅

To be fair, NY is still largely a coffee city. Us tea folk are underrepresented 😅
