this is my favourite substack by a long shot - celine writes so intelligently about books, media, design, technology, architecture and lots of other topics - she's always reading books and sharing about artists that i've never heard of so i always learn a lot and feel inspired to think more deeply about the media i consume and the environment around me - i've linked her post on research as leisure activity which i really recommend reading!

lyta gold - writes about issues around media literacy, sometimes rapid-fire reviews, and occasional digressions about star trek
becca rothfield - reviews books, writes books, and generally has novel perspectives on a lot of issues that are usually only discussed in inane ways on social media
alexandra leaving - the most personal blog-ish of the ones so far, but luckily she is a pretty interesting and funny person. i recommend her weezer article in particular.
i have more but in the interest of brevity thought i would end with pi.fyi comrade mdoinurmom's blog generally ambitious, which i just started reading fairly recently but have greatly enjoyed what i've seen so far
(btw i basically only read substack through my RSS feed and i recommend y'all do the same)

👩i sometimes feel like asks get lost among other posts and go answered - you never know if the original asker or someone else still needs the answer to a question so why not go ahead and answer even if it’s from a week/month/year ago ❤️
