Introducing Project Pen Pal

AKA Miss. Mills Goes to Washington

Thank you for your patience as I reconfigure - I’ve been deep scheming.

Feminine Agency will once again be a repository for articles surrounding the topic of femininity. Specifically observations from putting into practice in the professional world some of my findings over the past year. You can expect one or maybe two posts on here a month - navigating away from my weekly posting.

I’ve given regular Substack posting two college tries over the past two years and it has resulted both times in too close of a friend to social media for my personal liking. So I’m demoting it from weekly to when appropriate. I’ve tried being loose with my parameters for posting but at the end of the day I just don’t want to be online this much and writing into the wide abyss of the internet is too much for me.

My weekly writing will now be going *offline* and trading out your email inbox for your physical mailbox. I’m going back to my roots and returning to letter-writing. And instead of me just documenting my adventures this year to my own books of record, I’m inviting whoever wants to get a letter every week to come along for the adventure.

Maybe you’ve seen Sex and the City, Bridgerton, Gossip Girl - or none of the above. This series is maybe a long-lost *distant* cousin.

I humbly offer you a series of a weekly “column” in a fresh NEW format as I have some big personal news. I am officially moving to Washington D.C. and starting a new role. I spent 2024 traveling to all fifty states in person. Now I’m settling in a place where all fifty states converge. It honestly seems a bit like a layer two from my previous deep dive into the USA.

I came away from 2024 knowing one thing for certain; I love America. Having spent a lot more travel time abroad than state-side perviously it was immensely delightful to get to visit every single state over the course of the year. I wrote a lot about my various adventures and have belabored the best form with with to share my findings.

While a twitter/X thread might be the preferred mode of communication for some, it’s just not my style. So I am being the most me I know how to be and started a mailing distribution of my weekly updates. I’ll be hitting three topics weekly.

1. Society life in DC from a bitcoiner’s perspective. With my work I’ll be entrenched deeply in the bitcoin DC populous with my finger on the pulse of developments.

2. America - with the focus each week on a state. I’ll share a bit about my 2024 interaction with the state and likely some D.C. -relevant experience with the respective state.

3. My dating life. Obviously keeping the privacy of suitors in mind along with my work on femininity, I’m going to date the states and see what the state of dating is like in D.C.

I’ve got to admit, it’s pretty convenient that there happen to be 52 weeks in a year and 50 states. Couldn’t have planned for that. Now it seems a bit too ambitious to attempt a date with a guy from every US state, but we’ll see what happens.

At the end of 2025 I’m going to revisit my state rankings from 2024 and see if any of them have changed.

SO! If you think getting a weekly letter update of a copy of my typewritten pages, sealed with sealing wax and my signet ring sounds at all appealing, then please, I implore you to send me your mailing address! I was going to make a different subscription level on here to cover costs but I ended up deciding for now I’d rather just create a new document to keep addresses in order and people can Venmo me if they feel like it [@FeminineAgency on Venmo].

For a little sneak peek into the intro to week one you can peep this - there’s a little repetition from this post :)
