Howdy, Joshua from The Minimalists here. You didn’t make the cut.

A couple years ago, I made a quiet decision: I removed more than 100,000 inactive subscribers from The Simple Newsletter to keep it affordable, intentional, and clutter-free.

You’re reading this email because you were one of those people.

Since then, I’ve completely rebuilt the newsletter from the ground up. It’s still free — but now it’s simpler, more thoughtful, and far more useful.

So I want to welcome you back.

Dear Joshua. How fucking dare you?

Get all the minimalism you’ll ever need in the pithy pages of Escape Everything! instead. Or indeed our newsletter, for which, you’ll be happy to know, you made the cut.

    OMG, this is a riot.

    Reward yourself with the free time you have as a result of no longer getting that newsletter! I am very picky about what I let in my inbox. Their newsletter didn’t make my cut, but your posts are in my feed reader and I relish every single one. Thank you!

  2. Wow, thanks D. So kind!

    You know when you get an email like this, ponder a witty response and then bloody Wringham beats you to it with a mic drop…

    Well done sir!
