Would love to hear more about your thoughts on understanding media. Have had it in my queue for a while.

will write a longer thing at some point but broadly i think mcluhan had some very clear insights into how media and literacy shapes people's thinking, perception, self-concept, etc etc that are still incredibly relevant today, if not more than ever

I really enjoyed this format! I don't know how representative it is because your post are kinda always very page-turny and fun to read for me, the style resonates.

Seeing the unresolved processes or tensions as they are, without a clearly drawn conclusion yet, is interesting. Lots of cool and exciting bits in each little paragraphs for me also. It reminded me of having walks with a friend in a book shop and catching up with their life while intermittently sharing excitedly about this or that book and stuff it reminds us of.

Also 'stray clippings' rhymes with 'stay winning' lol

I definitely think you should peruse this form along side you formal essays. This actually a form I have experimented with in the past but could never figure out if people enjoyed reading it. Now I know, because I enjoyed this completely. Actually enjoyed it more than a formal essays.

There are some options, like I could set up a Section within the substack and make it opt-in, but I’m undecided about whether I want to do that, it’s another kind of complicated
