It becomes a secret shared, a private game of telephone; you take what has been passed, what has made home in you, & you carve out a piece for the next person.

If there's a pure, ideal version of the internet, it looks something like this to me--creation, recreation, a constant shuttling of magic.

This is such good advice and made me realize I forgot to add a recommendation to my last newsletter and now I feel shame

Haha, no shame required! But I do strongly believe that honest recommendations possess a purity that no amount of slop or cynicism on the internet can ever take away from us.

I hadn’t thought of it that way, but you’re so right. I’ve just been trying to use my tiny little platform to boost whoever else I can. I’ve added recommendations to every single other newsletter it’s just this last one that I spazzed on 😭 I may have to have two in the next one to make up for it
