SHITTING WHISKEY-SOAKED UNICORNS 🥃🦄 to have re-launched The Middle Finger Project today, here as a Substack, and with a sharp new focus: unpopular ideas on living a happier life.

But you know what I’m most looking forward to?

The writing.

I’ve been writing this column since 2009, and you know what happens when you write your ideas down, over and over and over again?

You figure out who you are.

Because you finally figure out what you actually think.

THIS IS SURPRISINGLY HARD TO DO.

You don’t just wake up having opinions; these things must be formed, shaped, considered, moulded. Most of us don’t have the space in our day to do this work. It is only the writer, whose trade requires it, that makes a daily practice of it. And, what a gift! Bigger than a fucking Porsche! Which I still don’t really know if I should pronounce that “porsh” or “porsh-uhhhh.” Fuck, it’s probably pronounced “pickle,” BUT THAT IS MY CROSS TO BEAR.

ANYWAY—

It’s great to be back.

It’s great to be here on Substack.

And I’m looking forward to finding the universal truths among us all here in this community that’ll help us live happier lives, the unconventional way. ⚡️

Looooooove,

Ash
