Everybody say it with me: Three! Months! Later!
Reply Ali is back, and just in time for end-of-year content like holiday gift guides and annual pop culture retrospectives. I started musing on how much I like this time of year, and I thought: “Oh hmm, is December my favorite month?!” and then I felt like I had maybe said that before and so I did a little keyword search and remembered that I had the exact same realization two years ago:
Okay but rewinding a little bit I do realize that it’s not December yet, and maybe it’s more accurate for me to say that Reply Ali is coming back. Very soon! I just needed to break the seal and say hi and announce my intentions with this mini-post real quick.
Wait also I just remembered that this week is the newsletter’s BIRTHDAY! Happy 4th to my rambunctious toddler of a publication. To celebrate, I suggest reading my very first post from November 20, 2019. You may choose to spend some time ruminating on how different my, your, and our lives were back then - if you’d like! I will, but only for a little while.
I’m a realistic talking fish head, and I hope you all have a really really nice end of November.
Thankful for u,
Ali
