not your average ins + outs list
Here we are… the final day of the 2024. In the middle of this year, the Thred writers decided to embark on our Substack journey. We had no idea what we were getting into, nor did we anticipate how much we’d love it, but each of these unpredictable factors made...
what I wanna see trending next year

your 2025 reading list

Hopefully you’ve all got some lovely plans to look forward to in the coming weeks. To carry us over until then, this weekly newsletter is...
