Unsubscribe if you want.
I don’t want to this to be yet another email cluttering your inbox. If it’s not adding value to your life, click “Unsubscribe.” No hard feelings, I promise.
If you’re on the fence about whether that applies to you, just hang in there. This whole idea is work in progress and how it develops depends on people forwarding it to others, sharing on social media and just singing praises of The Bridge.
And if there are articles you want to share with me, or changes you’d like to suggest to make your experience better, email them to me (john.gotty@gmail.com) because I want everyone to feel like they’re a part of helping this newsletter take shape into something great. There’s more great stuff in development and I want people to be able to say “I remember when that shit first started…” with pride.
A note to those who do want to stay subscribed and are using Gmail: star Bridge emails because Gmail frequently sends them to the ‘Promotions’ folder.
