I first discovered The Fox is Black via The Hype Machine and your mixtapes. It feels like it was a golden era of internet idealism. Twitter was kind and full of friendly faces. Facebook was for mates. Tumblr was a fertile ground for beautifully creative silliness. The scramble for monetisation hadn’t affected the communities. Personally, I’d love to see your work again in a space online, although TBH the newsletters are a lovely concentration of good stuff. What am I trying to say? I think whatever you have to say, it’s worth hearing, and swerving the algorithm is a move I’d be behind all day.

I also would be stoked for TFIB return. I’m blogging again, not very frequently but also just to have it on my own site, and really just for my eyes. There’s something in the air right now, a disenchantment with the drive for the hugest possible (viral) audiences, and the desire - at least for me - to say what I want to say, without hoping it’ll blow up and make me internet famous. We shall see.
