Hi friends,
I’m proud (and humbled) to be doing this “actually try to make it as a writer” thing. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to create for you. And to continue to do so, I’m adding a new paid option to my Substack.
A serious moment of transparency: Instagram hasn’t felt like the right place for me/this community for a long time. Over the past couple of years, I’ve seen a steep and frustrating decline in my engagement. I’ve seen my pro-abortion content (and then, my other content!) heavily de-prioritized by the algorithm. And it’s just not my dream to make reels. Sometimes it feels like I’m creating into the abyss, which is very much not the vibe.
So, friends, it’s time to try something new! I’m so excited to make Substack my new home base for the Sweet Feminist/Baking by Feel/A Little Something Sweet community. I’m quite frankly eager to spend more time creating and less time catering to the whims of the algorithm. Also: more room! No more character limits!
Note: If you’d like to remain as a free member, thank you so much - that’s wonderful, and you’ll receive the same emails (abortion affirmations! rambling recommendations!) from me that you’ve been getting - now on every other Tuesday. You don’t need to do anything - go ahead and skip to the pic of Otie down below!
Now, for you (and only you!), my potential paid cuties:
I’m excited to add two new elements:
1: A post every Friday dedicated to the anonymous secrets & sparkly moments submitted by you! This has been so incredible over on Instagram, and I’m excited to move it over here. And to make things easier, you can now submit them through my website anytime you want!
Here’s what you can - tentatively & subject to adjustment - expect in your inbox on Fridays (starting next week):
Relatable/juicy/quirky secrets*
Beautiful/uplifting/triumphant sparkly moments*
Song pairings for both the secrets & the sparkles
Some commentary by me
*And introducing: long-form secrets/sparkles! For when there’s just more to tell.
2: Brand new, exclusive recipes twice a month
to recap:
Paid members get:
Weekly posts on Tuesdays
Secret/Sparkly Moment roundups on Fridays
Two exclusive, brand new recipes/month
Access to the full archive of content
Access to my chatroom in the Substack app
Free members get:
New posts every other Tuesday
Occasional extra public posts
Access to the archive of free content
and now, the details:
You can access the entirety of A Little Something Sweet for:
$5/month, or:
$50/year($4.17/month), or:
A founding membership - $150/year. This is for if you happen to have a very high level of expendable income and/or really like me a lot.
You can absolutely still become a paid subscriber even if you don’t really care about the secrets and just want to support my work (thank you very much).
If any of that sounds like a vibe, click to:
Thanks for considering, y’all! Talk to you on Tuesday.
xoxo,
your favorite becca
PS: A reminder that now you can submit your secrets/sparkles anytime - at this link!
Lots of respect for moving away from social media. Honestly, I think everyone should do this :-)
Found you on Insta a few years ago and saw your post about having a Substack! Fabulous. Just joined as a paying member and excited to see what's next. Thanks for what you do!
