Craig’s Cabinet of Meagre Offerings | Craig Burgess

Recommended by Craig Burgess

A satirical and often maniacal look at internet hustle culture through the dark eyes of Wednesday evenings. If you’re looking for self-improvement, this isn’t it.

The Wednesday Audio is my podcast, and that's why I recommend it. It is unlike anything else you will listen to, and it is unlikely you will listen to it twice.

Tony Zentelis

The rambling thoughts of a degenerate wandering through the great mystery of life.

Tony reminds me of a young Anthony Bourdain. His Stream of Consciousness pieces are chaotic but in the best way. His writing makes me jealous of his talent.

Soaring Twenties

By Thomas J Bevan

A collective of essayists, storytellers, poets, photographers, painters, filmmakers all creating and collaborating to make the internet human again.

The Soaring Twenties Social Club is the online artist club that I'm part of. The group genuinely makes the greatest art on the web, and I'm incredibly proud to be involved.

I won't keep you

By Trilety Wade

a newsletter that is (usually) no more than 500 words

Trilety writes beautiful prose in a way I wish I could. They're almost like little still-life drawings in word-form. See, I'm rubbish at this word stuff.

The Commonplace

By Thomas J Bevan

Short stories as well as essays on philosophy, Flâneury, the Via Contemplativa and the theory and practice of idleness.

Tom was the first person who got me into Substack, the first person who woke me up to the crazy Value Adding World, and the first person who I disagreed about beaches with. His writing is excellent and he has a unique perspective in our hustle-obsessed culture.

Anti-Mimetic

By Luke Burgis

On becoming who we are in a mimetic world.

Luke Burgis wrote a book called 'Wanting', which is excellent. He also writes a newsletter, which is equally excellent. I read every week.

Nova Nevedoma

By Vanya

Chronicles of oddities, obscurities, absurdities in search of the enigmas of our time.

Vanya writes excellent fiction and excellent essays. There's an almost other-worldly feel to his work I don't see anywhere else. That's the best way I can describe it, without you experiencing it yourself.
