Some people Donald Trump has not nominated for cabinet appointments
A partial list
The man who ran the movie theater in my parents’ old town who insisted on projecting reel-to-reel “film” but would occasionally fall asleep and the movie would just abruptly stop until people started banging on the projection office and start screaming.
The nurse who, after I had surgery to remove my uterus, pushed down hard where it used to be and said, “This is to massage your uterus.”
The camp boyfriend who told me I owed him $10 because he bet his bunkmates I’d have boobs by this summer.
The executive at Zinus who approved adding a teeeeeeeeny bit of fiberglass to children’s mattresses-in-a-box to cut down on costs.
The dad who used to come to all our middle school soccer games even when his daughter wasn’t on the team anymore.
Tommy Bahama or someone he thought might be Tommy Bahama
Smee from Disney’s “Peter Pan.”
A guy who once asked him, “What are you - six four, six five?”
The policeman who pulled me over in Nevada for speeding and when my friend told him we were going to Los Angeles, he leaned in and asked her “You guys in the industry?”
The guy I met at a party in LA who thought I was my husband’s assistant and handed me his empty drink glass while talking to my husband.
A man he walked by at PJ Clarke’s who was wearing his father’s old cologne.
Tiffany.
Been thinking about how you have a relatively low volume of paid subscribers vs readers. One detail that may help is to include a call to action to subscribe and ask for paid subscribers in every non paywall post. We’re all susceptible to having someone we appreciate simply ask. Sometimes that it’s a person’s job is not obvious to non-professional writers. I see many writers here include this at the beginning of every post with a line or two of boiler plate that states what the newsletter is/who they are and at the end of every post and also half way through if it’s a longer one. Include the subscribe button.
Actual lol at Smee and Tiffany
