I love everyone's comments on what they want to see. I'm so glad you've asked to see Crow v Racoon cos it is top notch content.

Looks like this week's Friday Night Chats is gonna be heaps of fun!

FNC is only for PAID subscribers though, so go upgrade your subscription and give Em your money.

So much love to Emily! But not to anyone who unsubscribes whilst she’s unwell, they’re all absolute twat faces.

No one has unsubscribed yet (as far as I know, I only just got access to Em's account lol) but yeah, very keen for people to stick around till she's well!

Wishing Em all the best for a speedy recovery, love that you’ve jumped in to help, you legends!

Might I suggest that we can also pitch in too? Proposing a substack FNC thread where we can all post a recc or two?

And 1 more vote to get updates on the raccoon v crow situ.

I love this update and I love friends stepping in for friends. My vote is for any and all content you feel fit to share as Emily’s group chat girlies but I especially would love to read about the cottage core/indigenous rights interface. Also maybe a meditation on all the things that would be way better than beeping alarms as a means to alert medical staff of some necessary task

I'm keeping track of people's votes and I'm already being sent content! This is so much fun, I see why Em does this! :D -Tam

Poor Emily! That’s rough. Wishing her noise cancelling headphones, peaceful thoughts and a gentle recovery at home sooner rather than later.

Sensational work chat group. I want to read all of those ideas - they sound most entertaining! But I also imagine you’ve got your own juggles going on, so no need.

No chance of unsubscribing here - hope she takes all the time she needs to get well - days, weeks, months. Am here for the party when she’s back on her feet!

So glad you like the ideas! Like all good group chats, ours is full of goblins and weirdos.

I'm so here for cottagecore anti-colonialism, and I desperately need to hear more about the raccoon in the crowsnest

Oh no!! I hope she gets better soooooon. Thank you for letting us know. Arohanui. xx

Oh no Emily! I hope you recover quickly but don’t rush back to work ok??!!

And as an idea for a blogpost I’d be happy with just a bunch of Pedro pics - no words necessary, just the pics 🥰

OMG who would unsubscribe at a time like this? Everyone is allowed sick leave, you guys don't need to step in on our account, we're fine here, good chance to catch up on all the blogs I didn't get to yet... Your time is better spent at her bedside making her feel better. Kia kaha koutou.

Poor Emily!! While there will be no unsubscribing here and Emily should take as long as she needs to recover, I’d also consume the hell out of some raccoon vs crow content!

Also - PSA if someone can pass on to Emily, they had me nil by mouth for days before a possible surgery (while pregnant no less) and I did manage to beg/cry enough that surgical let me have a couple of lemonade popsicles, which are far superior to ice chips (but are still not solid food). Hope she gets some outcomes soon!!!

Much love to Emily, the insta stories have definitely managed to convey the drama and frustration. I would definitely read all of those ideas, but particularly here for indigenous cottagecore, and a crowdsourced FNC thread

Hey Tam, I'd like to gift some monthly subscrptions, but I don't know who to give it to. Are there some of Emily's supporters who can guide my hand/credit card?

Sending so much love to Em and thank you to the Group Chat Girlies for updating us. <3

Also if you ever want 'nerdy deep dives into random shit' article type things I'd love to volunteer haha

Little community-led FNC?

All the best to Emily and thanks for keeping us in the loop - it’s awesome that she’s got a girl gang safety net ❤️ here’s hoping the hospital experience is done and dusted soon!

All love to Emily etc etc but really I just need to know what happens next in Crows v. Raccoon

...

...

Yes, j/k, I'm too scared to rely on everyone inferring the "lol", I think I'm scarred by the sickening rhetoric being fired around by "free speech defenders" post-trans- solidarity-protest so this is a disclaimer. Hospital sucks, I know! I hope she gets better surroundings asap. 🥺💜
