One email a fortnight
The essay, two links I'd actually send a friend, and nothing else. No tracking pixels, no "open rate", no drip sequence when you join.
4,100 readers. Unsubscribe is one click, at the bottom of every issue.
What an issue looks like
About 600 words: the fortnight's essay in full (or the note, if it was a note fortnight), then two links with a sentence each on why. Sent on a Tuesday morning, Lisbon time. Plain text version included for people who read email like it's 1998, which is the correct way.
What I do with your address
Send you the newsletter. That's the list. It lives with a provider that doesn't sell it, I never export it, and when you unsubscribe it's deleted, not "suppressed".
