I’ve been quiet on this here blog because I am doing most of my personal writing and updates over on my Substack these days, where there is more community. While I’m mixed on how the platform’s trying to turn into yet-another-social-media platform, I do like hanging out there for the most part, and writing to a small and intimate-feeling group of readers, most of whom are people I know.
I’ve been writing a newsletter of links since 2015, when I was first living in Korea. (Wow it’s been ten years, wtf!) It was originally on TinyLetter or Mailchimp but I moved it over to Substack after repatriating to the states. Sometimes I would repost those roundups here, but now I am fully over there, so I wanted to invite you to join if you’re interested, and I’m writing spicier essays or advicey posts for a paid tier, which is available for $4/month as I get started.
I’ll never abandon blogging for good, this is something I’ve practiced since I was 18 years old and got a LiveJournal, RIP. There’s just going to be fewer posts over here.
