Circling Back . . .

Some plans for 2025 (PS I need your help!)

Is there any day worse than the Monday after the holiday break? Can anyone really be expected to work in these times?

I am trying to focus on what is actually lighting me up, which is this newsletter and community. I am planning 2025 for Landline and my theme for the year will be “community at all costs.” I want to find new ways to connect with people who like thinking about similar things, like why we care so much about the Titanic and why I still think about Keeping Up with the Kardashians despite it being a source of brain rot.

To help me plan and plot, could you fill out this brief survey? It will help me figure out what bonus features to offer paid members this year, and what topics are most of interest to all of my readers.

Here’s the survey: https://forms.gle/8yeAKntaaecKbWdK8

Thanks so much! You can also send me a note by replying to this (or any) issue of my newsletter.

Thanks again for your continued support!

Mary :)

PS I am starting a new podcast this year, and I’m very excited to share it with you!
