The Shift With Sam Baker is a reader-supported publication. If you’d like to get more like this every week, consider becoming a paid subscriber.

SCROLLING
• Carrying on our theme from yesterday’s newsletter: why attacking Kamala Harris for not having kids will backfire. £

• Sand with everything. Glorious piece by

about family summers at the beach.
• The truth about living with your husband’s dead wife.
