Happy Birthday to Unstacked! Yours is the only culture(ish) substack I pay money for and it is 100% worth every penny (and not just because I'm a huge fan of footnotes). Your Hate this week really resonates, and this line is my favorite "But sometimes being right is not useful." Looking forward to year two!
You with writing reminds me of Me with phone. I am SO good at phone stuff (customer service, etc, I'm a gem) but I haaaaaaaaaaaaate it and refuse to do it unless I have to. My phone doesn't even ring unless it's a blood relative calling.
Anyway, you're so great at it, I hate that you hate it and have to keep doing it but, in the same way I am not allowed to not pick up if my mother calls, you are not allowed to stop.
Thank you for saying I'm great at it, because I know that is a generous offering. I read other people's writing, and great might be a stretch, but I'll gladly take it.
Yes, I really hate it all around, but am trying to just do it without worrying too much about how unenjoyable it is. Now, talking on the phone? Would do that all day everyday gladly. Talking is my passion.

I am so honored to be your one and only! Thank you for your support.
