Quick Reviews and maybe a new home?
Hi friends!
Some of you have undoubtedly seen this already — this is a belated semi-cross post.
When I sat down to do my 2022 Best Of lists, I had a hard time remembering what I really liked vs. what I just consumed and didn’t hate. My aversion to ranking things (letter grades or stars or whatever) doesn’t help here either. So I figured I’d channel my days as a book reviewer, where the whole initial premise of the site was basically: reviews you can read in a minute. The elevator pitch of a media review. Think, like, five sentences or less.
So we’re going to try that this year, since I turned out to really like my 2022 experiment of “actually engaging with more media instead of just doomscrolling and looking at Tumblr”. I’m thinking I’ll do little monthly wrap-ups of what I’ve been watching/reading, or anything else notable that happens.
I mentioned last time that I was looking for somewhere non-Substack to share my writing and I’ve decided to give Medium a try.
So you can find January’s quick reviews over at my Medium page.
I’ll continue cross-posting here for a little while, or at least until I inevitably forget, but if you could do me a favor and go subscribe or follow my page on Medium, that would be delightful. I think once I hit some arbitrarily large number of subscribers over there, that they might give me a dollar or two sometimes, and, hey, a girl can dream.
Anyway: hi! Hope your 2023 is great and that you’re getting everything you wanted, etc. etc.
