I hunt dead people and exceptional macchiatos. Art, American Studies, material culture, 19th-20th century genealogy, nutrition, and the actress, Mae West are all in my wheelhouse.

You Should Probably Leave Substack You should probably leave Substack. Here’s why and how.

So many people I like, respect, and want to read are *still* on substack.

I understand it was the best option in the past. I know migrating a website is a pain.

And yet.

Probably 20 years for me. It sounds so exhausting now.

Well, I had kinda sworn it off but I guess I will go to Shoreline Amphitheater one more time. #LiveMusicIsBetter

Watching livestream of @neeksmit.bsky.social at Amherst discussing the her Trask 250 project. She's brilliant and has put so much time and effort into this project. It's amazing to see it develop. www.amherst.edu/news/multime...

If it helps at all, Musk and Thiel seem to have sold off most of their Paypal holdings long ago. They might still have *some* shares but I haven't found anything to suggest they are still major shareholders.

Home from a memorial for a really sweet woman who left us too soon. She was a server at a restaurant where I was a regular and after she left and it closed, we kept in touch. We chatted music and books every time we crossed paths. Listening to The Magnetic Fields in her honor.

Wow! That is not the way the sky looks in, like, ANY other photos SoCal friends are sharing today. Fingers crossed you continue to stay out of the path!

Yeah. Song was Nightswimming and guest hated it and the band. Excruciating ep to listen to. Most of the time though, it’s brilliant.

It's a great show, though I still don't forgive him for the REM episode. (I remember thinking you should've been the guest.) Are you listening to 500songs too?
