CUSTODIAL WORK

A long time ago when we switched servers the Arthur Magazine domain code got messed up for some reason and a lot of images on the blog stopped displaying, line breaks went awry, and so on. I knew this had happened but I’ve neglected fixing it for years as it’s quite a bit of work.

But now, here we are. I’m going through and fixing stuff by hand, one post at a time. There are over 5,300 posts.

Oh gawd.

As I go about this custodial work inevitably I’m seeing lots of stuff for the first time in a while. If you want to follow along, I’ll be sharing highlights or just stuff I find interesting on my twitter feed: https://twitter.com/jaywbabcock.

I’m still doing an email newsletter called Landline. Might be moving it to Substack soon. For now, sign-up and free archive are here: https://tinyletter.com/jaywbabcock/archive

all the best,
