Blip.035: Signal Boosting

I released my first Substack newsletter just over a year ago when I moved away from Wordpress and honestly, I haven’t missed having a “traditional” blog at all—in fact, it’s been just the opposite. Not only has having a Substack encouraged me to write more, I also read quite a few publications from other writers on the platform—many of whom are terrific writers—which in turn has helped me to become a better writer. In this Blip, I thought I’d share a few of my current favorites.


The Elysian is the newsletter from writer and former magazine editor

Elle Griffin
who, in addition to releasing her novel Oblivion as serialized chapters, writes “essays thinking through a better capitalism, democracy, technology, and humanity.” I really appreciate her voice and I think a conversation with her would be fascinating. You might want to start with this post about what The Elysian is. From there, I think my favorite piece I’ve read so far is called We don’t need our political ideologies anymore.

The Elysian
We don’t need our political ideologies anymore
After last week’s post, a few people looked at my upcoming fields of study (capitalism, cooperatives and employee ownership, the commons, and democratic socialism) and made an assumption that they might disagree with my political beliefs. But I want to be clear that I do not adhere to any one tenant of faith as I set about my research…

I was first introduced to the writings of

Yung Pueblo
by a friend on Instagram. In Elevate with Yung Pueblo, he writes about spirituality, meditation, philosophy, and healing. One piece that really landed with me is called The Big Leap Forward, Acceptance, and Risk. He also has a new book called Lighter that looks terrific.

Elevate with Yung Pueblo
The Big Leap Forward, Acceptance, and Risk
Three Thoughts: Before a big leap forward there is often a substantially tough moment you must get through. The challenge is sometimes within you in the form of old conditioning that suddenly arises with heavy past pain. Other times the challenge is external, one of the unavoidable down moments that organically happens throughout life. Because you are em…

I’m not exactly a huge comic person, but

3 Worlds / 3 Moons
is not just a comic; it’s a new comic universe that’s being produced collaboratively in real time by creators Mike del Mundo, Jonathan Hickman, and Mike Huddleston. I was in after reading their preamble, which goes, “Through comics, conversation, and process posts, you’ll get the best seat in the house as we create the place we’ll be telling stories in for years to come.” They recently released THE VALLARS, which is the first series in the “3W3M” universe and it’s a blast. You can scroll through the whole thing as panels or even download it as a PDF. They also have some really great merch…and you know how I love merch.

3 Worlds / 3 Moons
[COMIC] THE VALLARS 1
Today, we’re beyond thrilled to present the first installment of THE VALLARS, the first ongoing series from 3 Worlds / 3 Moons, with art by Jason Howard and colors by Frank Martin (along with letters by Rus Wooton). THE VALLARS tells the story of Tajo Vallar as a boy explorer and adventure as he makes his way across the Three Worlds and Three Moons for t…

Wow, thank you so much for sharing my work! I almost didn't publish "We don’t need our political ideologies anymore" because I was convinced it was boring. 🤣 Just goes to show you that sometimes the posts we think aren't interesting are someone else's favorites. Thank you for reminding me of that!
