Thank you so much for the tag in this Alanna, all engagement I give to your work is purely through enjoyment of your writing. You're one of my fave Substacks for a reason and I will read literally anything you come up with, your brain is clearly an incredible place ❤️ Have a great New Year xxx

Side note: In the car yesterday Bed Chem by Sabrina Carpenter came on and my boyfriend said she makes him uncomfortable because she seems too childish. This obviously led to me talking about Jade's piece - I wonder how many more offline conversations are being had about that article!

Thank you so much, you're so kind 🤗 🤗 🤗

Ah, I know!! When I was listening to a podcast someone was like "There's a Substack that talks about this" and I got really excited, as though I'd written it hahah

you know what's funny? as i was writing the rivals essay, a thought flashed into my head: "i reckon alanna would like this one" which was immediately followed by, "...that was a random thing to think, inigo" then i took a spoonful of jordan's strawberry country crisp and continued to hone my slagging off of saltburn so what i'm saying is, i'm glad my intuition seems to be calibrated and i hope you have a happy new year 🫶🏾

Eyyyyy, you were right!! Hahaha, love that you were properly fuelling up for the Saltburn takedown. That's another one where I was 'entertained'...but at what cost 😆 Happy new year to you too!
