Welcome to nonostantement: a weekly newsletter with necessary, sugared, and irregular stuff found all over the Internet.
Hello, every Sunday for the past six years, I've maintained a tradition of sending this very email to my friends. My name is Joele. Although I'm Italian, Barcelona, Spain is where I live. I share the most intriguing things I find online in these emails, whether I encounter them during my work or while searching for peculiar stuff.
