I used to think that Substack was for pretentious assholes—an asylum for failed journos and pissy contrarians. But then it occurred to me; maybe I’m a pretentious asshole. Quite honestly I feel the weight of stagnation flowing through me. Like I’ve taken this webpage as far as it can go. Perhaps it’s time to make a leap forward and do something to challenge myself out of this mediocre pit I find myself in. Maybe it’s time to do the unthinkable—I should burden the internet with yet another Substack.
I entertained that thought for maybe four seconds before I remembered Blogger, Medium, Tumblr, Wix, and Squarepspace and thought “who gives a shit?”
So I’m staying right here
Have a good weekend folks 👋
