The time has come, Pham!! It’s officially the end of our Locals era. This means that starting now, all of our content will be centralized over at Substack and not Locals.
As you can probably see, my life is getting increasingly more bonkers, in the best possible way--but that means dividing my time between two subscriber platforms is no longer sustainable. Consolidating all of the Pham in one place will make it possible to give you more of the focused attention you deserve.
Don’t panic.
Locals is where it all began so the move is bittersweet. I have made lifelong friends here. We’ve done writing prompts together. Worked out together. We survived COVID and traded sourdough recipes. You overwhelmed me with gifts, blankets, and words of wisdom when I had my child. We even held a Zoom memorial for a member of the Pham we lost.
It’s been a wild and glorious ride--and the good news is--we will continue it all on Substack. Once you familiarize yourself with the platform, you’ll notice some improvements, too:
We will be sunsetting the Phetasy Locals completely in two months. That should give you enough time to retrieve whatever writing prompts, images, or memes you want off the platform.
Join us Friday night 5pm CT where I’ll be hosting a livestream on Substack for subscribers to welcome you all to the new digs.
Maggie and I are honored that you have chosen to support all things Phetasy and appreciate you sticking with us as we move into the exciting next phase of our many creative endeavors. We never take your time or resources for granted. Thank you for making what we do possible.
We love and appreciate you.

Hello new followers, I hope I don’t disappoint you. I want this place to feel like home, where we can escape the Thunderdome and process the world. Where we can post dog pics and recipes and book recommendations. Where we support each other as we get sober, lose weight, embark on new business opportunities, creative endeavors, relationships and travels. I want this to be your oasis of sanity and laughter in an increasingly mad world. A creative outlet where you can share your spirit with us.
We might not have any control over the news cycle—but we can control our habits and attitude. It all starts with us. And hopefully a little piece of that will start here.
Pham, I know it’s late for some of us, but I haven’t had a song in my brain in a bit. So, here’s one of my favorite poems instead.
Poem of the Evening💙
“Come live with me and be my love.”

(Sorry for the delay on this prompt—life happened.)
The writing prompts are back! And since everyone is talking about "what is a woman?" I thought we should dig into our Factory Settings and find out what we learned about this stuff.
