usually would not do self-promo here but because y’all seem like you would actually be interested - i just started a newsletter called From The Superhighway where i go plumbing the depths of the indie web to find cool things to share with you
the first issue i interviewed a fella named Melonking - he’s one of the most genuinely groundbreaking artists on the modern web and his takes are definitely going to be of interest for anyone invested in the future of the internet.
(ok that’s my entire self-promo budget for the next three months)

I love New Zealand music and I want to support young, new and emerging artists in a way that gives them something to share and builds some hype about the cool shit that they do.
So I started a substack and have posted my first gig review!
The artist appreciated it and now it’s been read by over 40 people, and I have 20 random subscribers who I don’t know …
Feels pretty good to hype others up in this way.
so yea - start a newsletter about your niche interest, you might be surprised how many people think that’s pretty neat and worth reading
(if you wanna read some local music and gig reviews, my substack is binjuicereviews)

*self promo.
i like sharing my substack on this site bc i fear this is the only place full of people who read. i’m in the process of revamping (doing away with the monthly strictly music stuff) but i essentially link pop culture, art and feminist praxis. working on an essay rn that i hope to have out by the end of the month.

spent the last two weeks working on an interactive guide, recommendations database, and digital library (link depot) to help get people off of social media. the first draft is done now, and it's at the link to this post.
it's still very much a work in progress (the library is especially thin atm) - which is why i wanted to share it here before unleashing it upon my IRL friends and the general public. i welcome any and all feedback, bug reports, and suggestions for things to add. i will be pushing updates to it out like a madman in the coming weeks, so be sure to check back every so often to see new additions to the database and library.
additionally, i am still on the hunt for newsletters from local venues / community organizations / magazines / newspapers, etc. the only cities i have remotely covered so far are nyc, orlando, denver, brisbane, and little bits of worcester and chicago. if you know anything in your area that fits the bill, send it my way!
