Thread by @JYSexton

I've been thinking a lot about Twitter, social media, and how we need better means of communication for larger, more complex, nuanced, and actionable ideas so that we might change things.

So. I'm starting a substack. I hope you'll subscribe and join me.

What I hope to do is find a place where I can take the writing and research I've used for my threads and dives into history and current events and really expand on them.

Not to mention, a place where a freer exchange of ideas can take place to make the world better.

I want very badly to fight back against the mythologies that keep us prisoner, while also highlighting actual means of changing this world.

This Substack account will be used for that, as well as a place where I can give behind-the-scenes looks at what I'm finding in my research

This endeavor has been a longtime coming, and I am honestly and truly excited about this.

I want to publish work that attempts to explain how we've arrived at this moment, diagnoses the underlying issues, and offers a way forward.

My aim with this Substack is to take these modern events, drill deep into how we've arrived here, use historical and political precedents, and demystify what we're dealing with, the dangers we face, and how we might free ourselves of these hobbling mythologies and move forward.

Thank you to the people who've encouraged me to take this step, who've shared their experiences with the toxic, corrosive elements of social media that commodify suffering and outrage, and have proposed these actions.

I am beyond excited about this.
