WANTED: Happiness, dead or alive

Mar 19, 2024 | botharetrue.substack.com | Caroline Donofrio

With all due respect, what's up fuckers? It’s been a minute and then some. I have, for all intensive [sic] purposes, changed. They say baby makes three, well, two babies makes you wanna flee AM I RIGHT FELLAS??? In all seriousness, I think there's a curse on me. It started like all great stories do, at the UPS store. No, that's not true - the UPS store came second. First, I went to an Amazon returns warehouse that also happens to sell expensive foodstuffs, known locally as Whole Foods.

Both Are True's next chapter (big deal)

Sep 19, 2023 | botharetrue.substack.com | Mike Sowden |Caroline Donofrio

In early October, I will be launching a new SEASON of Both Are True. Instead of writing about anything, like for example my obsession with the use of ‘net carbs’ on food packaging, I’ll be focusing my mind soul and (global) guts around a few topics all orbiting a single theme, topics that are harder for me to write about and require a bit more plumbing of the muck and the mire, the yuck and the yowza. The season will act as a ‘forcing function’ (ew) to get me writing about this stuff.
My answers to five big questions

Sep 6, 2023 | botharetrue.substack.com | Caroline Donofrio

Hey goobers hOw are you! Lot of new people here and to them and them only allow me to just say, “hey goobers how are you?”Astute readers with experience in the ‘find the five differences between these two babes’ arcade games probably noticed that the hello to the n00bs did NOT have a strangely capitalized hOw. Why? Because the nOObs are not ready for it yet but after reading this, they are. Don’t ask me hOw I know I just dO. Not in love with intro but hey you win some you lose most.
