Morning, friendos! Yr pal al here, writing this days ahead like a real adult and scheduling it to post so I don’t need to take a laptop on vacation with me. Hell yeah.
Read to the end for a little dog who is innocent of all charges.

We have merch! Get yours here. We have hoodies, sweatshirts, tshirts, tank tops, hats, mug, sticker.
If you have any feedback or ideas you want to hear us cover, or if you just want to say hi, you can reply to this email and it’ll come straight to us. We’re also on:
email + tiktok + youtube + twitter + instagram + facebook group + read with tether facebook group — next book is I’ll Be Gone in the Dark by Michelle McNamara. We’ll be meeting up online next Wednesday, April 24, at 7:30pm Eastern to discuss it. Highly recommend you check it out if you’re remotely interested in true crime.
