    Heya friends, happy Friday! It’s been a few weeks of radio silence on my end, and that’s because I’ve been mulling over how to find the words to share that I’m wrapping up my time writing Along for the Ride. A small handful of you (approx. 3%) received the first-ever edition of this newsletter and kept up with it over eight years. The other 97% of you have found your way here through colleagues, chance encounters, substack recommendations, knowing me in real life, and a plethora of other means I

    Heya friends, happy Friday! Over here in London, the *big* news is about TfL granting Wayve and Uber private hire licenses to start operating robotaxis. I’ll go over the fine print below, but it’s more mundane than you might think based on headlines and press releases. So without further ado… the news!<

    Heya friends, happy Friday! I’m back in London and ready to settle back into my routines. I am deeply missing my morning swims in the sea, but finding ways to infuse a bit of the dolce vita vibes into my life here. I hope wherever you are that the tail end of summer is full of sweet peaches, iced tea, and late nights that drag on for no particular reason.

    Heya friends, happy Friday! I am in Italy until tomorrow and have spent much of the past week between a cycle of morning swims, cafe cremas, working, long lunches, evening swims, late dinners, and midnight gelato. It’s been a literal treat, but I’m excited to be back in London soon and return to my usual content (Peanut pictures). For now, here’s the news. <a class="image-link image2" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!PfDw!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubsta

    Heya friends, happy Friday! Writing to you from a patio table in Cornino, Italy, with a view of Monte Cofano and the ocean. I’m here with friends for our annual Italian summer outing to swim with the fish, eat dinner at 10pm, embody our most ‘call me by your name’ selves, and consume as much gelato as humanly possible. Lots of reflections in bits + bops below, but for now, here’s the news ❤️<a class="image-link image2" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!PfDw!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_pro
