Newsletter Subscribe 📨
A weekly dispatch of what has caught my attention — the weird, the wonderful, and the genuinely thought-provoking. Free, and sent every week since 2018.
01 // Subscribe by email
02 // A habit, not a funnel
This is a mailing list, not a marketing channel. Here is exactly what you are signing up for, and what you are not.
What You Get
- One email a week, written by hand, not generated
- New podcast episodes announced in the same place
- Links, recommendations, and the odd meme
- The occasional quiet week when life gets in the way
What You Don’t
- No paywall — everything I publish stays free to read
- No sponsor reads, no advertising, no affiliate links
- No drip sequences, no onboarding series, no re-engagement campaign
- No list swapping — your address stays with me
If you would rather support the work than receive more email, that is a different page — and the zine is the thank you.

04 // back issues
Every weeknote is on the blog as well as in your inbox. The whole run, newest first — have a read before you sign up.

05 // Not an email person?
Email is only one way in. There is a feed for the machines, and a zine for the letterbox.

- Everything — every post as it publishes
- Weeknotes only — just the weekly dispatch
- Permanently Moved — the podcast feed
The weeknotes feed carries exactly what the email carries, minus the envelope. Pick whichever you will actually read.
