Welcome to the crew!

Thanks so much for subscribing to Examined Family, a weekly newsletter for people who get all twisted up inside about the brokenness of the world, and wonder how to actually live in it, loving and humble, but brave as hell. The commenters here are so damn full of insight and humor. You are joining a fantastic, quirky, and deep family.

I send an essay or Q&A every Wednesday to all subscribers, so be on the look out for that. If you can’t find the newsletter, check your spam folder. And please mark this address as ‘not spam.’ If the newsletter isn’t in your spam folder, either, you should look in the Promotions tab.

On Sundays I send along five endorsements for my paid subscribers—stuff like books I can’t put down, TV shows my whole family actually likes, hilarious videos from the interwebs that will make you laugh for a nourishing minute or two, and opportunities for online or in-person events (protests! book readings! dance parties!), fellowships, and other cool experiences. FWIW, I give a percentage of my subscriber revenue to every person I profile in my Q&As—a little experiment in redistribution. If you want to be part of our giving circle and find out about cool shit every Sunday, you can always upgrade your membership:

Thanks again, and please tell a few friends if you feel like it.
