hello

Hi!

Enough of you said you were interested in some sort of newsletter type content thing — since apparently we’ve moved back to email lists, rather than blogs; also RIP Google Reader, I’m still mad about that all these years later — that I elected to start something here.

I do miss having a place to share deeper thoughts than Twitter is appropriate for — the “(1/254)” at the end of any initial Twitter thread makes me run screaming into the woods; “MAKE A BLOG POST ALREADY,” I shout. In my past, I’ve run a music blog and a book review blog and I have lots of thoughts about both of those things that I’ve stopped expanding on because the pressure of maintaining a blog is, sometimes, too much. But maybe an email list will, psychologically, feel different to me?

I don’t know. We’ll find out.

Anyhow. Some content you should expect to see here:

• Songs and albums I’m into, and why I like them

• Maybe some words on some books I’ve finished

• Articles I’ve read that I’d like to talk more about than just a quote-retweet “Please read”

• Cat pictures

• You know, I’ve been trying to back up all my photos to ~*~the cloud~*~ and realized I have photos dating back to at least 2014 (travel, concerts, hockey, etc.) that no one has ever seen, so maybe some of them

• Cool things I see on the internet: shoes, tattoos, funny animals, good causes, etc.

Subscribing-for-pay is optional. Paid subscribers will get an increasingly large amount of the above, plus, I don’t know, a surplus of thoughts and feelings, and a more open dialogue between me, the writer, and you, the paying customer (ick gross), about what kind of content you’d like to see for your dollars.
