If I had $1 for every failson that told me he’d be president.
Brandy Melville, good emails, and huuuge Target beauty news.
Good morning everyone.
I’d like to make a few random suggestions. Emily’s Prime Day, if you will. As always, I make zero affiliate money from this letter because I don’t know how to. I love this night light that the boys at Brain Dead brought back. I am going to Maine this weekend, that’s exciting right? I heard it’s peak foliage. I really like this Emma Lewisham mask. I’ve been using Retinol and my skin is peeling off in pursuit of looking 26 years old. I like the yellow cake at Bar Bete and I get it around once a month. I go through like a gallon of this a week, it’s what I put in my coffee.
Some news:
WaPo employees are getting paid to quit.The Washington Post is offering voluntary separation packages to employees across the org “in an effort to reduce the workforce by 240 people,” per an internal note sent from interim CEO Patty Stonesifer. “We think this puts us in a strong place for 2024 and beyond,” she wrote.
I haven’t seen many effective “back to school” shopping campaigns, but I liked this email from Soft Services a lot. I wonder how many parents read it and identify with the college student archetypes they say to shop for. It specifically suggests sending these as “care packages” to students.
If I had a dollar for every manic failson that told me he’d be mayor/governor/president. I’d probably have $6. (Sam Bankman-Fried told Caroline Ellison he thought he’d be president)
