I’m turning Substack into my sanctuary of privilege.

News? Muted. Commentary on news? Muted. Anything directly related to or adjacent to these things? Muted.

No doomscrolling allowed here. I want to see books and animals and weird stuff and funny things and social commentary that doesn’t make me lose hope in humanity.

My feed is being curated for joy. I want to open Substack as an escape for the rest of the bad things going on, so that means muting without restraint.

Sorry to those who are probably very nice and interesting people, but I simply don’t want to be aware of anything that isn’t going to bring me joy.
