Wow, genius observation that Substack is omakase. Also, I think "zen-like obliteration of the self" might be my MO!
I love that you (Joel) are recording your archive. I really enjoy listening to you (and having the option of reading, too, of course). I was tempted to try it myself, but in my head I sound like a normal human being and then something awful happens during the recording process that distorts my voice into a weird mixture of Julie Andrews and that terrifying Theranos woman who just got sent prison, when she still had her deep voice. Alas...
Omakase 🍣
What a feast! Listening to the original author brings out nuances I'd missed when I read them. Thank you for recording!

Brilliant post - it's going to keep me VERY busy....!
Hope your thumb's doing okay, Jill!
Amazing! Going to dig into some of the pieces I missed this week!
Also, have you seen the Station Eleven HBO series?
Wild ride on the conveyor.... and now to imagine a Litter audio Play list for a road trip. Keep well!
