Recent stories you might have missed
Also happy July 4th week to all - congrats, you made it halfway through the year
In 4 years of writing here, I’m not sure I’ve ever done a link post. So with it being a holiday week and halfway through the year, it feels like a good time to publish one. We’ve also had lots of new subscribers the past few months (welcome if you’re just joining us).
So if you’re new, or perhaps just in a hurry and missed something, here’s a list of recent stories that performed well you might also enjoy.

And if you like what we do here, consider forwarding a post to a friend and encourage them to join us - in social media, group chat or even an email, any method is cool. Bonus points if you have carrier pigeons.
I hope you have a great holiday week, try and take some time off to spend with friends and family. Balance in life is important. Turn off your phones and be present.
