I’ve decided to put Bemusings “on hold” while I take some time to think about Substack as a venue for my musings. If you’re not familiar with the controversy, I recommend reading the initiating article and then Platformer’s summary and decision-making. I’ve really enjoyed writing this newsletter/Substack/whatever-we-want-to-call it, and I feel like we’ve been building some good momentum. But, in the past, I’ve left technology platforms because I felt their ownership didn’t hold the same values as I do, and I’m prepared to do that again, if necessary. I just need some time to muse over it.
During this break, it’s a good time to ask for feedback. What have your enjoyed or found useful about Bemusings? What would you like to see done differently? How could this newsletter be more valuable to you? I welcome any and all feedback.
Thanks and see you soon…somewhere…somehow.
I appreciate your openness and willingness to explore different platforms for sharing your musings. It's evident that you value aligning with platforms that mirror your own values. While each platform has its unique benefits, I believe Substack offers a particularly valuable space for fostering critical and deep thinking, encouraging readers to explore new ideas and perspectives.
In one of your previous posts, your thoughts on learning styles challenged my preconceived notions, and it was a wake-up call for me. I took the opportunity to read the article you linked, and as an educator myself, it was crucial for me to expand my understanding in that area. Your insights have had a significant impact on me, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to learn from your work. Bemusings has undoubtedly been a valuable resource, providing insightful content and building momentum. Best.
Fellow substack user here and I’m wrestling as well. Good luck and I appreciate the posts.
