NitN 0.4 – The Star (Am I too creepy to belong here?)

Ever felt like you weren’t mainlining nearly enough unhinged ranting straight into your sweet sweet cortical folds? Today’s Holiday Hiatus episode of Nodes in the Net might be just the earbeating you’re looking for. Listen to me manically leap frog one tangent after another for about half an hour, then enjoy the full text of one of my all-time favorite […]

Substack Growth Hacks? Not quite.

The Liminal Trickster Mystic approach to self-sabotage on algorithmic media This is not going to be another dose of substack growth hacks, tips and tricks, and advertising for my super affordable business coaching business. Neither will it be a post about how there are no tips and tricks, and you just need to work harder if you want to succeed. Instead, I’d […]

A Big Welcome to @jt!

Remember the other group of stoners I found at the Flinstones-style rock-stacked creek furniture I tumbled together and christened “The Thrones?” The ones who were passing around a foot-long bong?  This other group of creek denizens were a vision in “hippy.” They were probably high school seniors, like myself, but maybe college freshmen. I don’t remember asking. One of the group was clad in […]
