Aside: Is that wax for encaustic?

Some to consider: Ghost, Buttondown, Beehiiv, Mighty Networks, Mailchimp, Wordpress, etc.

I'd suggest researching that on your own. I'm not an expert in this, and there are many variables including technical proficiency, cost, audience size, self-hosted vs. hosted by a service, payment integration, etc. that can influence one's decision about which platform to choose.

It has been well known for a couple of years now that Substack platforms Nazis, hate speech, and other extremist bad actors, and that has continued. Many prominent authors and thought leaders have left Substack as a result. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Please get off of Substack in favor of a different newsletter platform.

Beautiful. In my own experience, I have so much grief about that which you're exploring and advocating here.

I'm sorry for all that you’ve had to carry that shouldn’t have been yours to carry, and especially for the impact it’s had on you and yours. Andrea Gibson: “When nothing softens the grief, may grief soften me.” Thanks for sharing the tenderness.

That's helpful. Thanks.

What is considered a lifestyle intervention? And how do these kinds of interventions (or this framing of interventions) overlap with what some consider to be social determinants or social needs of health interventions?

It's downright instantaneous!

Excellent album. While maybe not "perfect," 1985 had lots of good music released! The Chameleons, Cocteau Twins, Echo & The Bunnymen, The Cult, Hüsker Dü, Kate Bush, Wire Train, The Waterboys, The Pogues, Minor Threat… all put out excellent music that year.

E.g. good for the business, but bad for a customer. Good for a customer, but bad for the business. A good engineering solution, but a bad experience. Good experience, but poor infrastructure. Good for both customer and business, but bad for a community, an industry, the planet. Etc.

“Good” seems fraught. There are likely products, services, & experiences that meet a variety of heuristics for “good,” but are still perceived to be “not good,” or despite heuristically being deemed “good” are actually quite bad/harmful outside the limited context of the heuristic frame.

Always be selling. Always justify your individual value. Always be clear that you're the expert. Prove how much you've contributed yourself, distinct from others. Always show "upward" movement and progression. Never have gaps in your "career." And most importantly: always, always be positive. 🫠

Sadly, when we hold social skills as values for relating to others, we have the natural tendency to impose those values onto others. This is a violation of the sovereignty of another being. (2/2)

Hi to Seattle. I used to live down the block from there at the corner of Queen Anne Ave and Highland.
