Why subscribe? Why indeed?

Because you want to spent 5-7 minutes of your life reading some ephemeral musings that may or may not be amusing, poignant, or outraged. You could, in theory, use that same time to learn Sanskrit. But you know and I know that you probably won’t. You can also read the same ephemeral musings on the website, but why not sign up to have all your handy Sanskrit-avoidant content delivered straight to your in box?

New One-Year Weekly Essay Project!

I have solicited 52 (random! silly! serious!) prompts from friends and have promised to write a short essay on every topic proposed, one per week for a year, beginning May 2021. Every Sunday or Monday I will post a new ephemeral musing that you can read during leisure moments in your home or … well, home.

FOMO

You won’t have to worry about missing anything. Or at least, missing these particular ephemeral musings. I’m not sure how big of a deal that is to you, honestly. But just in case, you can subscribe. What would we all do without the internet?

Join the crew

Be part of a community of people who share your interests. (That is boilerplate from the Substack platform. I’m not 100% sure I endorse this sentiment. I would hate to think there was anything that necessarily united all the people who might subscribe to this newsletter. Aside from the fact that they are all probably my relatives, or, indeed, me.)
