Let’s take a look back at 2023! As far as my work goes: I sent out 51 newsletters, with 44 of them having some kind of original writing and 7 just being the links. This means I missed exactly zero weeks!
That publication pipeline is pretty deep! I guess I’m used to workarounds like conference proceedings, readily-available preprints, and services like arxiv.org, all of which come out way sooner and faster than any resulting journal article.
Congrats on posting each day this year. That's such a tough thing to do and a really incredible achievement. Thanks for putting out great work and hope 2024 is another good year for you.
So apparently substack, the site we are on, has come out saying it will neither remove nor demonetize nazi content. You can find pieces on this issue on many outlets, such as the NY Times and Business Insider. Taking this behavior into consideration, do you plan on changing platforms?
Unfortunately this has been known for a good bit by trans circles. A while back they refused to deplatform transphobic content and that's usually the start to the gradual slip into nazi stuff.
I remember hearing some of their weird policies toward censorship and hate speech when it came up about some anti-vax content that they didn't remove a while ago. I think everyone sorry of put up with it because yeah, no major platform is any good in this regard. But it's just getting harder and harder to stomach.
I’m looking into Wordpress newsletter hosting. It seems like their free option offers unlimited subscribers.

Thanks, Geoffrey! I hadn't thought of WordPress so this is actually really useful!
Happy to help!
Congrats on a very successful year! And thanks for addressing the nazi thing. I, too, am exploring future options.
Thanks! And do let me know what you drcide to do!
great job this year! looking forward to what you publish in 2024.

Happy holidays, Thomas!
I just bought Blades in the Dark, and am hoping to adapt it to my Middle-Earth game.

Hi. I mentioned this in the post-script at the end of the first section.
