An important note from The Doe.
An important note from the editors at The Doe: We have so appreciated your time and dedication to reading our weekly newsletters. This will be the last newsletter you’ll receive for a bit. We’re taking a brief hiatus break from sending emails this year. We encourage you to follow us on Instagram and TikTok. And to send you off, we're sharing our latest stories from the web, most notably, a dispatch from an American who moved abroad to escape U.S. politics.
