Okay, a few notes before we get to the links. There are so many links this week. And a video compilation of Wile E. Coyote getting wrecked by the gravity in various ways. That one’s at the bottom. Don’t scroll just yet, though. We have some housekeeping to do.

— This is not, technically, the official one-year anniversary of this blog. The one-year anniversary was two weeks ago. But we’re celebrating it today for a very important reason, which is… uh, that I forgot to do it two weeks ago. I suspect this does not come as a big surprise to anyone who has been reading this sucker for the last year. It’s been a weird one. I started doing this newsletter last fall in a fit of creativity and ambition after a scary health thing, just a fun little side project in addition to my day job. Then I lost my day job and this became my primary source of income. Which was… not ideal. But even with that kind of bummer origin story, doing this has been a blast. I wrote about [putting Reacher into various television shows](https://type-click-type.ghost.io/some-shows-i-would-like-to-see-reacher/). I wrote about [the 9-1-1 beenado trilogy](https://type-click-type.ghost.io/the-three-part-9-1-1-bee-nado-event/). I got [weird](https://type-click-type.ghost.io/some-pretty-good-fake-names-i-thought-e71/). I wrote about [driving my wheelchair-accessible minivan](https://type-click-type.ghost.io/a-brief-chat-about-joystick-controlled/) with a joystick. It’s been one of the most rewarding experiences of my professional typing career and I’m so happy to have all of you along for the bumpy ride. 

— To celebrate, I’m offering [**a 20 percent discount on paid subscriptions**](https://briancgrubb.substack.com/955c9c47) from now through the end of next Sunday. A paid subscription gets you access to my full Friday newsletter and the ability to contribute to [the Reverse Mailbags](https://type-click-type.ghost.io/reverse-mailbag-what-is-the-best/) and also my undying gratitude. Solid deal, really, depending on how much value you put on undying gratitude. 

please subscribe to my blog

— There will be no Friday newsletter this week due to Thanksgiving. Yes, I do realize how stupid it is to do a big discounted subscription push the same week I’m not offering anything specifically tailored to paying subscribers. Yes, this is also how we ended up doing a one-year anniversary celebration two weeks after the one-year anniversary. The subscription gets you the blogs but I throw in the chaos for free. 

Thanks again. We’ve had fun and we’ll keep having fun even if things get weird. That’s the Type Click Type guarantee. 

## STUFF I TYPED
