Welcome to the first edition of what I\u2019m provisionally calling Dispatches<\/em>. More specifically, Dispatches Vol 1.<\/em> When will it be posted? None shall know the hour (probably fortnightly, possibly monthly). What will it contain? Updates, offers, cool things I\u2019ve found on and offline. Why are you reading this? Well, you clicked on it, friend; you tell me. No but seriously, it\u2019s so hard to reach even my closest followers anymore. Every platform is slowly being enshittified<\/a> (actively made worse both for the people who use and the people who make the product for no reason other than Line Go Up), and I want a way to connect with people again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had thought to have this as a newsletter but if I’m honest? I don’t actually want to do a newsletter. Blogs are easier. They’re more accessible to more people. I miss blogs. Remember blogging? Where we could just write about stuff? And the people we wanted to read it would do so, and new people would find us, and we’d make new friends reading each other’s stuff? Those were the daaaaaaaays~<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To give myself some structure, I’ll talk some about what I’ve been doing, important updates with News You Can Use, and three things that have caught my fancy: in my ears (music and podcasts), on my screen (things I’ve watched), and in my hands (things I’ve read). All these things are subject to change as we go, of course. But let’s give this the old college try.<\/p>\n\n\n
