I know, no news on the weekend and all that but since I am just as new as you are on this platform there are going to be plenty of new ideas and thoughts about us and new ways to engage. Mostly thanks to my friend John D. over in New York who brought this up in a facetime chat just now, here are a couple of thoughts I wanted to pass along.
Previously, on IG, our interaction was limited to you either liking a post, commenting, sharing or sending a DM. It’s quite fascinating how FB and then IG has conditioned us in that behaviour, but more importantly, I realize that this new way of engaging with you all presents a whole new set of realities for both you and me.
I had not really thought about that aspect of our relationship and I want to take this weekends edition of A New Left to address just that.
I want and like your input. More so, I need it as well. I am going to add comment buttons to all of these newsletters throughout the text so you can engage with me, which, to be clear, is wanted!
More so, if you have ideas about anything that you would like me to dig into, drop me a comment on here. I read them, or email me.
The same goes for new music, talking points, or even calling me out on something I misread, or even if you disagree.
I firmly believe that through dialogue, engagement and nurturing our network that we can create a better place, and to be clear again, that is what this is about. In any case, apologies for sliding into your inbox over the weekend, which I hope is rewarding for all of you.
Smooches Comrades.
Smooches back. Hit me up about that Bn'R thing. 😘
Hi Steven, where did you begin your art career? Do you do art full time? I am a new follower on your IG account. Any advice for artists with "writer's block"?
