I enjoy these a lot and I want to become a paying subscriber. Will you rethink leaving Substack? I'd be happier to pay if I knew you wouldn't be bolting to another platform at some point.

thank you, ross!!! and, yes, the ~ leaving substack ~ is on the agenda — but won't happen until we have 10K subs, which we're more than halfway too. another idea: there are some people who pay through ko-fi or paypal, which i then comp a paid subscription for. in any event...thank you for reading either way!!

As for the actual essays, thumbs up on both. Miami sounds good. As for the way forward might I suggest the mesoculture?
