🚀 Mission Status: Subscription Acquired!
Look at you, choosing chaos. I respect that.
But here's the thing – email providers are cowards. They see "The Nerdage" and immediately assume it's spam. Like that time my bank flagged my purchase of seventeen bags of googly eyes as "suspicious activity." It was for art, Karen from fraud prevention. ART.
In 3-5 minutes, check your inbox. Not there? It's hiding in:
Promotions tab (Gmail's fun police)
Spam/Junk folder (email purgatory)
When you find it:
DRAG it to PRIMARY
Click "Not Spam"
Maybe reply with literally anything (even just "k")
If you don't do this, your email provider will keep sending my emails to spam and you'll be the last person to know about all the need to know news. Nobody wants to be that person at brunch.
Hit me up on Bluesky (@TheNerdage.bsky.social) or Threads (@thenerdage).
Remember: WELCOME EMAIL → 3-5 MINUTES → PROBABLY IN SPAM → DRAG TO PRIMARY
Gmail thinks anything fun is spam. It's exhausting.

P.S. It's been 2 minutes. Check your email. Seriously. Right now.
