This post is about a difficulty with email subscriptions that occurred over the past year or so. If you’ve been consistently receiving Love of All Wisdom blog posts in your inbox more or less every week over 2025-6, you can safely ignore it. However, a significant number of my subscribers unfortunately did not receive posts starting at some point last year. If you’re one of them – if you only started receiving LoAW posts again a couple weeks ago – then please read on.
This problem occurred because I was using a service called Mailchimp to send my posts out by email – a service which I can now safely say is disgraceful, and I want to discourage anyone from ever using it. Mailchimp cut off my posts because it decided I had too many subscribers for the plan I was on – a standard if unfortunate practice – but it didn’t tell me it had done this, so for a long time I didn’t even know this was happening! I’m not even sure how long this was going on, because they didn’t tell me that either – it may have been nearly a year. Bloggers be warned: never use the pathetic unreliable excuse for an email service that is Mailchimp. (Jetpack – WordPress’s internal service – handles this much better. I’ve used it for years with the Indian Philosophy Blog and never had a problem.)
But more importantly, I apologize to all my subscribers for the missed posts. I wanted to make it easier for you to view posts you’ve missed, as it looks like there may be a lot of them. I’m not imagining that anyone will catch up on all of them, but I thought it’d still be helpful to give you a list of the posts from the past year (before I got subscriptions running again via Jetpack) so you can find ones that interest you. The list goes from older to newer:
