It’s that time again, ‘bots and lurkers: time for a rundown of all the free reads I’ve been Musing about over on my Substack, Zuko’s Musings. Remember that there’s also paywalled Fight Clip Club entries and re-shared Problematic Tropes articles as well. Also this past couple weeks, the eminent John Halbrooks of Personal Canon Formation cross-posted one of my LOTR lecturettes for his LOTR readalong peeps, of which I am one. But you’ll find all that fun stuff over there. Here’s just a basic incomplete rundown:
Here ya go, you stubborn blog followers (and bots. All you bots). Here’s the latest collection of my free-only work on Substack. Which you should really go subscribe to.
Another popination adjacent to a performance of mine. This was fun.
ALSO! Lest ye forget: I am also releasing my entire Problematic Tropes series to free subscribers, one at a time, on Thankful Thursdays. But you gotta go to Zuko’s Musings for that.
No idea why that song likes to stick in my head—I literally don’t know more than a couple lines of it even. Anywho.
It’s that time again! Time to give y’all who are still using this ancient and venerable platform to follow me, a summary of the free posts that I’ve put up on my Substack, Zuko’s Musings. Remember, that there is a free subscription as well as a paid one, and the paid peeps of mine get three posts a week instead of just two. So. Here ya go.
And, as a bonus: I’m starting to take down the paywalls on each of my Problematic Tropes series of cultural criticism pieces, one by one, for a Thankful Thursday practice. This past Thursday, I opened up #1:
I have let my Substack get away from me lately! Or at least, away from this blog. So here’s the freebie posts that have gone up on Zuko’s Musings in the past few weeks. Go there for the rest, and for the paid posts too—we’re having fun with Fight Clip Club!
Actually they’re not wack, they’re pretty great! Here’s the latest few posts of mine from Zuko’s Musings. Keep in mind: these are only the freebies—on Wednesdays, I’ve instigated a Fight Clip Club for paid subscribers, wherein I analyze fight scenes from cinema. I’ve been on a funny fighting kick lately, and it’s been a lot of fun. Come on by and slip me a fiver to follow those as well as all these.
Oh goodness, lovely lurkers, I haven’t shared my Substacks with you in a little while, have I? Well, this long post is your fault, for not following me over there (or on Insta & Threads, where I also regularly share these). Anywho, here’s the posts I’ve written and shared since last time.
They were so sweet when they saw I’d written about them; they gave me a gift card! I’m about to use the last of it as I create this post. How lovely of them.
It doesn’t seem like it’s been that long, overly lurkers, but sheesh it has! Here’s the latest of my Musings on Zuko’s Musings, my Substack. If you like following me here, you should definitely consider subscribing over there—there’s more stuff like Notes and it’s a lot of fun. Anywho. Here we go!
