I’ve been writing at Substack, attracted to the newsletter aspect, for a year now, and have just discovered why the things I write there are not findable on Google: because my stuff is free.
I strongly wish there was a way to exist easily on the Internet, and really dislike the gaming and bullshit of the Facebooks and Squarespaces and Substacks. (Wordpress never let me down, really - but in the end it did litter ads all over my stuff.) I just want to write and share - not be subsumed into someone’s profit-driven platform needs. I miss Internet 1.0.
Anyway - I’m trying experiments, like double-posting on Substack and Medium, and, now, also posting here. So this space should liven up, and feature pieces from Music of the 80s, and A Different Fish, and random other stuff. We’ll see how it goes. Maybe Internet 3 (or Facebook 2) will destroy the whole thing and we can start over. I’m down for that.
love
Santa
