we interrupt your regular programming

Welcome to clipboard, a weekly newsletter about hospo, clothes and Tāmaki Makaurau by me, Reilly Hodson. This week: a slight break. If you enjoy this newsletter, send it to your best friends by clicking the button below:

I’m going to be frank with you, this week has been tough. I’ve had a very busy week at work, and at my occasional paid side hustles, so my creative ability and free time dried up by the time I got around to writing this newsletter, so I’m sort of taking a week off.

This is a good opportunity, though, to say thanks! This newsletter has been going for a while now and represents one of the longest times I’ve ever spent on a project like this. It’s been great fun getting to know the few hundred of you that read this newsletter every week. If you haven’t already, I love to hear from readers to hear what they’re into or what they want to see in these dispatches, so get in touch (you can just hit reply to this email and I’ll get it, or find me on Instagram).

I’m also interested in exploring some new content for the newsletter: if you make things and want to submit them, let me know, or if you have cool ideas about how I can make this thing a little bit cooler, I’m open to hearing them.

I say this every week, but if you enjoy this newsletter, the best possible thing you can do is to tell people about it. Hell, even put their emails in the against their will! It’s extremely gratifying for me to get new readers and to build this little project into something that’s a reliable part of people’s Sunday routines.

Also, if you are in a position to do so, I deeply appreciate financial contributions to this newsletter. You can sign up through Substack for just over a dollar per issue and get the warm fuzzies that you’re keeping this little thing going, or you can also do stuff like ask me to write or work for you for money (I have a full-time job, but I do still do the odd freelance thing, so hit me up).

I’ll see you back next week for a real deal newsletter, same time, same place.
