A blog? A blog.

I recently listened to one of Ezra Klein’s ancient—but still fabulous—interviews with Tressie McMillan Cottom (April 13, 2021). McMillan Cottom explained she’s such a prolific writer. They laughed about the disappearance of blogs, and the World’s Greatest Living Intellectual™ referred to her past blog as a “place where I could put thoughts that didn’t fit into any other discourse or genre.” McMillan Cottom described a blog as a bygone mode of sharing thoughts that aren’t quite ready to be newsletters, essays, or book-length projects.

And I thought: “Oh yeah. I want one of those.”
