1) I love you 2) if there's any way you can send me like, an extra refund, like more than I paid, like maybe a few hundred dollars, that would be great

Honestly, I was so excited when you announced the substance but always thought weekly was so ambitious. It's not the quantity of your writing, it's the quality! It's such a unique talent and perspective that the internet deeply needs.

I'm happy to see you focus on something so important to you because whatever comes of it will leave us all for the better.

Like everyone else if there's a way to send the refund back to you, I'd like to sign up.

Now for a little story:

Earlier this year, with the help of Bo Burnham's "Inside" I fell into a pretty deep funk. My older child was about to turn two, my younger was six months, and thinking of the future just ruined me in a lot of ways.

As I kept listening to the album, the Jeff Bezos songs always stuck out to me as nuggets of oddly bright and then something snapped in my brain. People are super weird and find fetishes in everything, surely there must be Jeff Bezos fanfic, right?

The ensuing week or so was filled with a hell of a lot secret googling and learning a lot about the rules of fanfic (one being, apparently, to not write about living people). I was so determined that this would be something you would be ideal to share with the world and so bummed that I didn't have your knack for finding these things.

I sat back after a few days and realized I was a dude spending a lot of time trying like hell to find Jeff Bezos erotica and laughed for a long time. Since then, things have gotten better, and I think on that whenever I need a pick me up.

So thank you. I'm not sure I would have climbed out of that rut quite so fast if I hadn't thought there was someone out there that could have used such deranged content. Trashberg will always be welcome in my inbox. Whenever it comes.
