Hello, friends!
I cannot begin to wrap my head around what the fuck is going with the federal government right now (intentionally not saying “our federal government” because these clowns weren’t elected), so I’m going to do what I know best and continue to put one foot in front of the other while we figure out what the fuck we’re gonna do. All I know for now is Mobilize Mondays are coming back, and I have some other ideas in the works, but the shock and awe is frankly working on me and I need a minute to collect myself before we take action. (Having a teething toddler at home while all this is happening feels like a real middle finger from the universe.)
If you, too, are unsurprised but still looking around thinking, “What the fuck?” may I suggest the two newsletters I’m reading more closely than anything I’ve ever read:
, from Jessica Craven—a daily-ish activism task list with context that goes way beyond just “call your reps” (but definitely call your reps). from US historian Heather Cox Richardson—extremely detailed context for whatever the fuck is happening right now.More to come, but for now, here’s one foot in front of the other.
Look out for each other,
Lauren
A FREE TASTING
Tonight at Wild Child! The theme is EVERYDAY FAVES! The theme is TAKING THE EDGE OFF WITHOUT BREAKING THE BANK!
A reminder that we do free tastings every Wednesday from 5-7 at Wild Child, and tasting wines are always 10% off! Sometimes our Weds tastings are a big deal and we have a winemaker here, sometimes it’s a little deal and it’s just us and a wine or two. Sometimes it’s a medium deal and it’s us with more than one or two wines (tonight is a medium deal) 🍷 Whatever size deal it is, it’s always a thing! Get out of the house and come hang.
A FLASH SALE
Honesty hour: January was a rough one, and we need a little pop of cash. So the whole web shop is going to be 10% off this weekend! That means ALL wine and books purchased through the website are 10% off. You can click this link to have the coupon applied, or enter code FLASHFEB at checkout. You don’t have to pick up this weekend; just select your stuff and we’ll hold it for you. Note: We’re aware the site needs more item thumbnails, and we’re working on it!
ONE MORE THING
Just a reminder that today is the last day to sign up for February’s Dear Annie Dinner Club and have meals for 2 or 4 delivered from our kitchen right to your door. Plus a bouquet made by me :) Members also get 10% dining AND 10% off their first month of Wild Child wine club membership.
