Newsletter #7 – Your Feelings Are The Problem. Trust Me.

Hot take, I know. But it’s true. Don’t worry, I know exactly what I’ve done here. It’s meant to read like that. I mean, it reads as though I’m saying that having feelings is bad, right? Well, I’m not. Of course I’m not! These sorts of opinions can be a little dicey in this day and age, as they are
