A university press department that can't be messaged on Twitter? That's a new one for me.

I’m a good listener. I can say things like “provision another instance,” and have no idea what I’m talking about.

John Naughton gets it:
although I use both Medium and Substack, everything I write therein is also published verbatim on my ‘live’ blog, which is completely under my control, and for whose hosting I pay with my own money. For me, Substack provided merely a convenient and reliable way of sending out the email version of what really matters — the live blog on the open Web.
