Fluxus is Dead. Long Live the Blog

Yesterday I sent a final post from Substack to let you know that my newsletter Fluxus was moving. With any luck this follow-up has arrived in your inbox via Ghost. Today I want to say more about my intentions for 2026, preview what I’m working on, and ask for your support.

Part 1: The Blog

My goal for this year is to write a short piece every week starting now. As I mentioned in the previous post, I aim to establish a more balanced and sustainable creative practice that will catalyze new thinking and connections across a range of projects and outputs. This begins with regular short-form writing and a less formal editorial style for the newsletter. Inspired by Matt Webb, here are my Ten Rules for Blogging (adapted/revised):

1. One post a week.
2. Give up on being timely or authoritative or comprehensive.
3. Give up on formal citations, but make sure to credit sources.
4. Give up on creating a niche.
5. Cultivate curiosity and write about what comes up.
6. Don’t look at the numbers.
7. Action is better than inaction. Research is often a form of inaction.
8. Think in public and be open to change.
9. Writing is a practice. Work on craft and clarity and style.
10. Keep going.

Part 2: The Digital Garden

Leading up to this relaunch I considered alternative formats and platforms—a long-form newsletter, digital garden, traditional blog, personal website, Notion site, and various others—though none of these felt right. I wanted two things: 1. The routine and functionality of a short-form blog/newsletter, and 2. The space to develop long-term projects without preconceived constraints or end points, with updates a few times a year. So, I decided to put it all together in one place.

Garden projects will be more like my previous posts—a hybrid of research, writing, and design—but significantly longer and more experimental.

I am currently working on an update and extension of The Future of Work in Three Horizons. This was the first piece I published in my original newsletter and by far the most widely read. Since then I have been thinking about how the original framework might evolve or mutate to acknowledge systemic complexity and surface more nuanced theories of change. The landscape of work has also shifted, characterized by notable developments in AI, corporate behavior, geopolitics, and much more.

I Need Your Support

Independence comes with real costs—hosting, various SaaS tools, and so on. Along the way I also reconfigured my personal tech stack to eliminate or minimize reliance on companies and platforms that are misaligned with my values. Going forward, some content will be paywalled—specifically garden projects and special posts that fall outside the weekly edition. Weekly blog posts will always be free.

A small number of paid subscribers would offset these operational costs and show that you value my work and the time it takes to do it well. I hope you will consider becoming a Founding Member; discounted pricing is available through June 1, 2026. Your financial support would mean a lot.

Thank you for your interest, time, and attention.

Until next week.
