Presenting Now More than Ever
I’ve toyed around with the idea of writing a newsletter for several years. In fact, I made this Substack account and came up with the title back in spring of 2020. It was going to be a series of essays about media through the lens of the then-nascent pandemic. I didn’t go through with it for a few different reasons, all of which correspond to some of my largest personality defects. So now, three years later, I am forcing myself to do this, even though I’m not sure what this is.
I tend to be pretty cynical, especially about my own efforts, but I think that’s ultimately a pretty empty way to live. So I guess this is primarily a way of committing to the bit, where the bit is the way I want to be in the world.
I’m going to post as often as I can, and I’m allowing myself to write blogs instead of essays. No theme, just vibes. I’m also not going to promote this, beyond emailing a few friends. If I stick with it, maybe we’ll open up the pit.
That’s all for now.
