Have you thought about having a newsletter?

I’ve set a practice/task to type something for 20min a day and share it. Some version of the lightness of instagram but trying it out as a kind of blog. Seth Godin-like.

I have a timer set right now, as a type. I’m saying very specifically “type” versus “write” because writing for me is by hand, and that is a very different feeling and result for me and for a different purpose and if I wrote everything down first I’d never share anything here.

People tell me they like my social media posts, in particular my polls. I love polling. I love the conversation. I’m not sure how that will translate here - the conversation. I’ll turn comments on and see.

I have a lot of opinions and thoughts that I’d like to get down somewhere and social media is feeling worse and worse so, I thought I’d try something here. (Someone recommended the book Careless People to me recently - I put myself on the audio book library list that will be “several months” wait)

Shoot - my timer just went off. I was going to say something about what kind of thoughts will be here, but the timer is boss.

Here’s a sample:

More and more people in my grocery store clearly aren’t buying groceries for themselves

I love Fran Lebowitz.

Let’s interrogate why ‘Toronto loves a line-up’.

Is a friend’s role to be honest or to unconditionally support you?
