on Substack

The whole point of your About Page is to outgrow and rewrite it.

Substack for volcano brains (could be a neat video).

1. Thinking of your site as a full & adaptable encapsulation of yourself.

2. The concept of “soft publishing” and “self curating.”

3. The technicals: sections, tags, home page design.

Substack announced a new “fellowship” for video creators, and it sparked a vitriol reaction. They’re looking to lure and boost big TikTok creators in panic instead of helping those within their own ecosystem. Why would they email this to everyone on Substack? Only 1 in 10,000 are applicable influencers. Wouldn’t 1:1 outreach been more appropriate?

I’m thinking to start a practice where I just write out responses to what I read on Substack in my logs. There’s no pressure to comment, or share, or advertise it or whatever. It’s just a semi-public, mostly unnoticed thought process to remember what I read and what I think when I read it. Maybe some of it pushes to Notes too… idk, well see.
