hahaha this is the best essay I've read in regards to hitting a followers milestone and I'm grateful to be included. Though if I knew my subscribers would double as my militia, I may have promoted my own newsletter a little differently!

I love the little details in your writing, like this "Every kind of savoury rice dish would attend: from Nigerian jollof to Malaysian nasi goreng, from Indian biryani to Saudi kabsa."

I will have my mom make the biryani haha!

haha thank you, this idea sprung from a 3am scribble when I couldn't fall asleep and felt my stomach rumble but I was too lazy to start dicing onions for a meal. So I tortured myself by watching YouTube shorts of food creators 😭

when you're famous and you sell out your first camo merch drop, remember where "Militia by Michelle" came from lool
