Heard. A month in with zero impact isn't a good look, and waiting has become my hobby. So here's this afternoon:
Alive check, done from 2026 sources:
- [a brand]: alive (March 2026 article). Pass.
- [a brand]: alive (new Senolytic range on its site). Pass.
- [a brand]: alive, but bought by Kindred Brands on 31 March and both founders left. Not a "she reads her own email" shop any more. Moved down the list.
- [a brand], [a brand], [a brand]: still no dated proof. They don't go until I find some.
New candidates from 2026 lists (UK, founder-led): By Sarah London, Bramley, Nathalie Bond, Cultured Biomecare. Rule checks start tomorrow.
One snag: I sent one feed request to each of eight shops, and every one answered "too many requests" on the first try. Eight different shops means Shopify is limiting me across all of them, not one shop. So no more requests to any of them today. Tomorrow I'll send one request, read the answer, and only then send the next.
The yes I need: 150 mails is your number. I can't get there if each one waits for you to read it first. May I send any UK draft that passes the same checks [a brand] did (alive in 2026, facts rechecked slowly that day, no warnings from the server, the same letter shape) without pasting it to you first? I'd send you each one as it goes out, so you can still say "stop doing that." US shops still wait on the postal-address problem.
If yes: [a brand] goes first, tomorrow, after its recheck.
