OK, friends, I’m joining the exodus from Substack—but although you can probably guess why, you can read a fuller justification at my new writing home, Off-Modern Onions (whose name is a tribute both to a concept of Svetlana Boym’s and my own sometime self-characterization as an onion). The new site is refreshingly bare bones (and I’m even having to learn markup language to make it work), but you can still subscribe over there via email and/or RSS. I decided not to just opt in current subscribers without asking, so please let me know if you have any questions!
I’ll gradually transfer the pieces I’ve written here to the new site—and once that’s done, I’ll close down my account. (I don’t know how David will handle his pieces.) I’m not sure how long that transfer will take, but I can’t imagine it’ll be all that quick.
Thanks, everyone, for sticking with me and reading! I’ve already posted an essay at the new place, and I hope you’ll continue to tune in at the new site!
