Happy limbo timeless time between Christmas and New Year’s! If you’re looking for some reading to fill the time, I’m happy to say I’ve finally finished one (1) heckin’ essay. At this point I’m averaging about one every 1.5 years… at least I don’t feel like I’m spamming you, so there’s that.

This essay is about vibes. You can read the full version with citations and margin notes (and nicer typography) on my website, or just keep reading here, sans extra notes.

This is also the first time I’m sending out a newsletter with buttondown since I quit Substack — let me know if it works ok for you.

I hope you’re having a lovely holiday season, whatever you may be doing. Without further ado, [clears throat dramatically]…
