In short, yes, we are. One more time.

We’re reaching the final evolution of this project, which I believe is just merging what I’ve done with Fundamentalised into whatever personal brand I’ve already built.

First of all, we’ve now migrated to Buttondown, an email provider that I’ve admired and wanted to use for a long time.

Importantly, it’s not a social media.

Substack was draining. I don’t want to have to navigate past all the profiles, notes and other bells and whistles just to post an email.

And I don’t really want to manage a ‘publication’ in the sense I have been doing anymore.

Rather, I’d like to share words, photos and videos in a less-formatted way. So the social accounts (Instagram and YouTube) will keep growing, and this list can be where I send snippets, like I might to a friend.

I’ve ported all my more collected thoughts to tstowx.com/essays so that they have a home, too. And the fact that I don’t have to go into Substack to share them means I might write more of them now.

We will see.

Most importantly, this change makes sharing personal updates lower-maintenance, giving me more time to write and create and run my business, without removing a way to publish stories and insights.

It’s another annoying change, I know, but I appreciate you sticking by this and all the changes that are coming along with my life changing significantly.

Thank you 🫶

P.S. You can still read all the Fundamentalised back issues online. I’ve set them up on buttondown.com/tstowx/archive, as well as tstowx.com/fundamentalised. They need some brushing up, but right now is not the time to do this.
