an iconic place to dump your thoughts, ideas, and ramblings onto a group of friends who actively signed up to hear about your shit every few weeks. the best part is it's illegal under federal law for anybody to ever unsubscribe, so you've got ppl in a chokehold for infinity and beyond <333

Before PI.FYI substack was my online magical space. When even one person reads my little diary entries to the world on substack I feel immensely seen.

lyta gold - writes about issues around media literacy, sometimes rapid-fire reviews, and occasional digressions about star trek
becca rothfield - reviews books, writes books, and generally has novel perspectives on a lot of issues that are usually only discussed in inane ways on social media
alexandra leaving - the most personal blog-ish of the ones so far, but luckily she is a pretty interesting and funny person. i recommend her weezer article in particular.
i have more but in the interest of brevity thought i would end with pi.fyi comrade mdoinurmom's blog generally ambitious, which i just started reading fairly recently but have greatly enjoyed what i've seen so far
(btw i basically only read substack through my RSS feed and i recommend y'all do the same)

i love that our seemingly high-tech phones still cannot do the job of capturing the moon‘s ethereal essence. it’s so humbling and vulnerable to attempt to take a photo of her and have it come out all ugly and orb-like. it’s literally none of ur business to see what she looks like anytime apart from the present moment!
(and please don’t tell me if samsung or google pixel have invented technology to do a better job of this. it wouldn’t sit right with me… like trying to sneakily undress a woman without her consent when she has explicitly stated she’d rather remain demurely clothed and mysterious)
