Hello. It's been a minute.

The Boss is away so you know what that means...

I will NOT let this bit go so long as it makes one person laugh, even if that person is ME.

MG is traveling, and I’ve been in charge since he hopped on his plane Wednesday. You think he’d know better by now.

Sure, I’ve been doing some work. There are always customer service inquiries. I’ve been working on the store, that’s just every day. I’ve written the next installment of The Foxhole. Work, work, work…

Enough of that.

It’s been a rough winter. We haven’t had ANY fun, have we? Not the kind of fun I like to have, anyway.

So here’s the what: I’m doing it again, except bigger and better.

I’m causing chaos.

Yeah, if you’ve been around for a while you’ve seen me slash the annual price of the substack in half, just because I wanted to feel something. And you remember The Last Great Back Issue Sale, which is still happening though supplies are dwindling more and more everyday.

But you’ve never before seen what I’m fixin’ to do now.

I declare this “The Boss is Away So Let the Fox Play” Sale!

Here’s what that means for you:

• Get our full digital set for 20% off. That’s issues 1-28, guys. That’s a TON of Bystandin’. (Discount taken at checkout.)

• I’m reopening EVERY ISSUE for reprint but only for a super limited time. Mike is gonna KILL MEEEEE. I can’t even put it up on the shop. Check your Bystander collection to see what you’re missing and then email laura@americanbystander.org to order and we’ll do the deal. It’s like a magazine speakeasy.

• And yeah, fine, the ‘stack is half off, too. Our annual membership is only $25, but you have to use this link.

So we’re clear, yeah? If you want to fill in the gaps of your Bystander collection for maximum Bystandin’, strike while the iron is hot. These promotions ALL expire Monday, March 25, 2024, 11:59pm EST.

(By the way, he actually doesn’t know I’m doing this. It’s awesome.)
