To times both solemn and surreal,
When strangers become friends, and friends are stranger still.

Founding Principle and Deepest Darkest Fear:
“But nobody will read my blog"
A fear allayed by the wonderful writer Alexey Guzey:
”It doesn’t matter! Your blog may have the median of 0 visitors per day (as my blog had for the first two years). Your blog may be ungoogleable. Your blog may have no subscribers. But if you’re not embarrassed to tell people “oh, btw I wrote about this / collected some things on the topic on my blog”, the purpose of the blog is fulfilled, since this is the best indicator of your writing actually being helpful."

Here’s a new Substack I collaborate on called And About That. We dig up about a new topic for each newsletter, and try to leave a little smarter than when we started.

Here’s me on Goodreads. If you like what I’ve read, want to share recommendations and discuss books, do connect with me there!
