Please use this comments section to plug your favourite Substacks here. Self-promotion of your own Substack is also encouraged. I want to learn about cool new things to read on here.
Back 10-15 years ago people used to hold these things called blog carnivals. People would submit their best work (maybe on a theme) and the host of the blog carnival would make on their blog a post linking to all the different submissions, with a brief blurb about each. It was a way for blogs to cross-promote each other. Maybe we should think about a Substack carnival? Post your thoughts in the comments.
Love this. Check out coldpastoral.substack.com/about if you're interested in 100+ year old books exploring the overlap between philosophy, politics and art. Each week the newsletter examines both a poem and a section of an old book, and attempts to make the ideas embedded within as clear as possible to contemporary readers
https://publicthings.substack.com/ is doing a deep background reading - across multiple installments - of Albert Camus' novel, The Plague, during COVID, climate change, and various political crises. An mix of literary, intellectual, political, historical, cultural, and medical history.

What a great idea. I got Justinehsmith.substack.com for great long reads about niche philosophical and literary ideas from a unique perspective, and
Rogersbacon.substack.com for the weird and broad intersections between science and the world.
