Tony Stamp's "Totally Normal" Archive

Hi,

Every month Tony Stamp delivers Totally Normal, a guest newsletter summing up the last month’s internet.

I wanted to gather all his pieces in one place, so they’re easy to find. Most of these are for Webworm’s paying subscribers — a fun little bonus you get when you sign up to support Webworm.

It’s escapism, it’s darkly funny, and I always learn something.

Please enjoy — in descending order. The best order.

David.
