Welcome to the new Lucid Reveries!
Welcome to the new home of Lucid Reveries. Before I publish my first essay on the new platform, a reminiscence on some old ones..
I’ve spent more than a year writing and publishing my words in two newsletters. This year I’ve successfully deleted my Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter accounts. Now, it’s time for Substack. If you subscribed to either Lucid Reveries or The Stuttering Lede, I've auto-subscribed you here (unless you requested me not to).
You can look through archives of my stories from both newsletters but I'll highlight a couple in case you've missed them:
The similarities I see between the only two countries I called home during my lifetime: Sovietization 2.0.
I wondered if I am a luddite and in case of anything AI, yes, I am.
I explored the reasons for why our Higher Education system is a complete failure.
I fell in love with a movie because of how tragically real it felt.
While I completely hated another one.
In a deeply introspective essay, I explored my anti-fascist roots.
There were essays on why I see Russian imperialism as the foundation for the rise of fascism today as well as my view on Navalny and his ilk.
Hope you stay and enjoy all of the future essays…
Next two in the queue are Play Ball (for opening day) and Why I Rather Be a Self-Hating Jew my exploration of my ancestry and what it means amidst rising fascism.
