What do subscribers get?
Every Sunday, paid subscribers of the Human Carbohydrate receive their “Seven-Day Carb Loading” in the form of a recap of the most interesting things I did every day of the week in my political/media/London/BRAT life.
“Stella, how can you possibly do something interesting every single day?”. Infidels, consult the back catalogue.
Insight, gossip, heartache, mischief, all in an honest day's work for a hard-working, reverse Lady Byron.
I hope you guys see me as less of a Substack newsletter and more as a maternal figure, nonetheless, diaries are paywalled because:
I am a socialist who believes in public funding of the arts (you are the public, I am the art), and
I want to remain FUNNY and FUN.
Lobbyist? Journalist? Investor? Voyeur? Stack my newsletter under ‘media monitoring’ next to Politico Influence on your expenses invoice, and no one will ever know the difference.
Smash the subscribe button and fire up those WhatsApp groups.

Why are you the human carbohydrate?
Because carbs give you energy. Because you’ve tried to resist them for years, only to binge on them later. Because they are comforting and nutritious. Because they are misunderstood by so many. Because maybe you don’t need them, but they are all you crave after a hard, long day. Because I am good for you.
