The very first issue of The Other Two-Thirds went out into the world on 7 July 2023. As we approach its second anniversary, I want to pause for a moment and thank you — yes, you — for sticking with me through the good, the average, and the downright dreadful writing.
Domo Arigato Gozaimasu!
You’ll know the well-worn adage: If it ain't broke, don’t fix it. But with the sun (finally) shining here in London, it feels like the right moment to ask you, my faithful reader, what’s working and what’s not. What do you love about The Other Two-Thirds? What do you secretly skip past? And what would you like to see more of?
So please — take a minute, scroll down, and tick whichever boxes best reflect your tastes. If I’ve completely missed the mark, well, there’s a box for that too.
