Hello,

I’m going to stop pretending to be a writer here on Substack. I have suspended all payments and subscriptions so you won’t be charged anything from today.

To the handful of people who paid to read my writing for a year or so, thank you, I am very grateful. I drink to your health and honour and leave you with my favourite toast:

‘I love you. Let us weep over the sins of humanity - weep in despair.’1

Cheers!
