Here's the elevator pitch of the newsletter

> Yes, it’s yet another newsletter folks! I post stuff in Slack for work and other communities I’m a part of, so instead of losing all those links to the “Slack”hole, they’ll be comprised in this newsletter too!

<p>Another week, another newsletter. Let’s get to it!</p>
