60. Plans and News
Maybe I'm moving this newsletter off Substack anyway, plus good news for those of you interested in my captivity in antiquity posts
Admin update:
I’ve been doing some poking around at other newsletter-type options. I’ve come to the conclusion that I might actually be best served by taking my toys and going back to my Wordpress.com site. It offers the benefit of cutting down how much manual cross-posting I’ll need to do.
Downsides: the UI is less smooth.
Upside: lower cross-contamination with disinfo and outright fascism on recommendation algorithms. (I went and explored some of Substack’s app’s features after reading some more reportage and, ah. I was already not exactly comfortable.)
I won’t be moving quickly, since I need some time to muck around with settings and site layout and other things, but at this point I think it’s a matter of when, not if, I move to primarily posting over there.
Other news:
Happy New Year! There’s good news for those of you who were interested in my captivity in antiquity posts: I finally found a listing for THE GREEK STATE AT WAR PART V on Blackwell’s, and ordered it. It’s allegedly been shipped, so we’ll find out when it arrives if I’ve actually acquired the volume to which everyone I’ve read on this topic in English has referred. Then I can try to figure out where I left things off and pick up the threads again.
Hopefully book reviews will resume when I recover from the incredibly hectic experience of December in constant company with a small child, too.
