Hi there,

You can fake the living but you can’t fake the feeling.

Please read carefully:

• time spent offline is now a monthly analog publication you can get delivered straight to your mailbox with 20 ideas every month: “Same thing as before, only different.” Instead of sending you five things every week on Substack via email, I will be sending you twenty things every month on paper via mail.

• First issue will be mailed out in January 2025, and every month thereafter.

• If your mailing address is in Canada or the US, you can subscribe to time spent offline the analog publication for $9.95USD monthly. If your mailing address is elsewhere in the world, it will be $14.95USD monthly. (With +$5USD for shipping)

***You must manually put the $ amount based on your mailing location.***

• No refunds accepted. You may cancel your subscription at any time.

• You can purchase Zine #1: OFFLINE to get a general idea of what to expect from the analog publication.

• I will mail out the analog publication on the first Tuesday of every month, for old times sake, but also this will ensure you will get your copy within the month no matter where you are located in the world. Shipping usually takes anywhere between 3 to 15 business days. If you still have not received your copy by the last Tuesday of the month, please contact me at mehretbiruk@gmail.com. The shipping option for the analog publication does not include a tracking number.

• Any other inquires, comments, grievances, please mail me so I know it’s real:

  • Mehret Biruk, PO BOX 84593, TORONTO, ON M6S 4Z7 CANADA

• IMPORTANT: If you subscribe to time spent offline the analog publication *this* month, you will get your first copy in the mail starting the *next* month. If you subscribe in December, you will get January’s issue, if you subscribe in January, February’s issue, etc. Pre-order style.

• If you don’t want to subscribe month to month but still want to get the occasional analog copy of time spent offline, the only way to get it is still to subscribe and pause your subscription for whenever, unpause whenever, before your billing cycle.

• Lastly, I am not a retailer, and you are not my customer. I’m just a low-tech girl living in a high-tech world, and having an amazing time offline. Thought I’d tell you all about it.

• You’ll always be my reader. <3 I write to feel less alone, and in reading I hope you feel less alone on this journey too.

• Now happening OFFLINE!!!!

P.s. My friend Annie recently sent me this, inside a Muji store in Toronto, and I said to her, Who am I going to shamelessly flirt with while the machine makes my drink!? 🥹 It’s a cruel, cruel world. 
But also, 0:15. 

Oh, and one last Substack email remaining…

That’s all for this week!

Thank you for reading, and share with anyone you think may benefit.

Until next time,

Mehret
