Welcome to Steelsnowflake!
After eight years of writing here, my goal for 2025 is to continue publishing engaging long-form essays on various topics in the humanities. My bet is that people are still willing to read something that requires a few minutes of time and attention and wasn't created to shock, outrage, or sell something.
Since you're here, have a look around to see if anything interests you. I write about the topics I'm passionate about, primarily history, philosophy, literature, poetry, art, and anything else that comes to mind. After all, these are all the same thing: stories about people telling us truths about ourselves.
The writing here will never be generated by AI. Good or bad, it's all me, written entirely by me, and always will be. I'll not let a robot do my thinking or writing for me, even if it takes a thousand times longer to finish something. What's the point otherwise?
Anyway, please let me know if you like (or hate) something you read. It's good to hear from other readers. I'm one, too. We have that in common, and I suspect a lot more.
Finally, if you sign up below, don't worry, I'll only email updates those five or six times a year when I publish something new. You'll hear nothing from me beyond that. Promise. I hate spam too.
