I see people saying stuff like "why criticize Substack but give other problematic platforms (like, say, YouTube) a pass? Which is a fair point. Thing is, YouTube is a quasi-monopoly for sharable video. Substack wants to have a newsletter monopoly but isn't there yet. And it should never happen.

I love variety. But my cat photos here aren’t for business clients. They see me on LinkedIn. And that’s what @thenarrativecraft.bsky.social explains in this podcast. A niche doesn’t have to mean doing only one thing. You can have several – and talk to the different audiences in different ways.

Reform has five MPs, the Green Party has four, and the LibDems have 72 Do you think the media coverage of each of those parties has been proportional to their representation in parliament?

Going through the copyedit on my third book and struck by the fact that a good copyeditor is extremely valuable and their work is irreplaceable - yet it is probably one of first the jobs businesses will try to replace with an LLM because they don't really understand what a good copyeditor does.

Getting stuck while we're writing is a feature, not a bug. It's the point of the exercise. It's what happens when we are trying to express something we have not expressed before. That friction forces us to make the tools we need to understand and express it. Getting stuck is how we make meaning.

The biggest endorsement I can make for Bluesky is that replacing Twitter with this app on my phone probably improved my general mood when I’m on my phone by 20-25%. I know there are better reasons but it is what it is!
