A little birthday wish

Happy Sunday! It’s my birthday, and I just wanted to send a quick note saying how fortunate I am to be starting another year of doing this work. Reading, sharing, responding to and supporting my writing is what keeps me going, so thank you.

In lieu of a gift (which I know you were obviously just about to order) I’d love it if you became a Premium Subscriber to The Handbasket—if you aren’t one already! And I’m offering a special 20% off an annual subscription, so it’s a great time to come aboard.

If you’re not in the financial position to become a paid subscriber, I ask that you share The Handbasket with a friend and spread the word! The more eyeballs, the better!

This humble newsletter is my full time job, and paid subscriptions allow me to keep at it. They also allow me to pursue bigger projects, like my recent reporting trip to Kansas. (That multi-part series with the Kansas Reflector starts rolling out tomorrow!)

Thanks for being part of this community and I hope you have a great [my birth]day!

xx, Marisa
