Hello new supporters--there are quite a few of you! We're so happy to have you here as part of the Pham in our little oasis amidst the culture wars. A couple of things:
1. For the community guidelines check these out. My primary rule: Don't be a dick. https://phetasy.com/about
2. I'm crazily busy between writing, podcasting, filming on top of working with sponsees in recovery and trying to keep myself sane. I promise you I'm not ignoring you if I don't like your post -- please don't take it personally. I do my best to get in here every day and see what everyone is up to--but I don't always have the time to read every comment or post, as much as I'd like to do so.
3. We do bi-monthly #DropInsWelcome Zoom meetings--in fact we have one this Friday! I'd love to see your faces there and get to know some of you better, put a face to the name and all.
4. Ladies of the Pheta Pham - we are doing scheduled Zoom workouts and I'd love to see you there. It's great bonding time and a way to hold ourselves accountable and show up for ourselves. Keep an eye out for the schedule, I hashtag them all #SarahConnor.
Okay that's all I can think of for now. I really love seeing everyone posting in here--this place is so special to me. We work really hard to make cool stuff and I appreciate each and every one of your support. And to the old timers in here who are so welcoming to all the newbies, you are the best. You make me want to be a better person.
Don't forget to tip your waitress.
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 ...
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.
