Dear Readers,
You may have noticed, as did Francesco, that for the first time since December first I failed to post something yesterday. You can access what I was working on here . . .
. . . though you should know that it got a little unwieldy and long and I still do not feel that I got to either the up or the down of the it that was the issue.
Directed to students, it probably should be a Note On Education. Dipping into American hegemony, it could have been a post for Today (or Some Day Like It), meant to be posted on Saturday, it really should have been a piece from me (e.r. muntrem), the avatar of this newsletter in whose authorial head everything is everything enough to permit yesterday’s piece to sit on a muntrem day and this meta, explanatory, not really of use to you post, to be filler for today, an Everything Is Everything . . . or Almost, day.
In any event, there it be.
Anticipating tomorrow’s “The Up and Down of It” I can say I had a cool conversation with an Uber driver this afternoon in Joburg and knowing that means the “it” of tomorrow will be related to apartheid as well as meaning I should, in that post, begin a new streak of living up to the contract implied here of getting out something each day.
If my recent indiscretion does not bend you away altogether and this space offers you pleasure, please feel free to suggest it to someone you think might enjoy it as well.
Thanks.
Love,
erm
