I disagree, at least about both these pieces. I've not read your entire back catalogue, but I've read a few and I can tell improvement stylistically, at least.

But that doesn't make this one bad or sterile. It does read neutral. Academic. Personally, for this type of piece, I think that's a good thing. They're historical as well as a psychological review. Given that, snark or cheeky commentary is more out of place than the political article this one linked to.

One thing I was impressed by was flow. You and Jessica Wildfire have incredible flow. Like, 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon but y"all can do it in 3 kind of flow. And, it seems to come so naturally to you both. It really is impressive. It's one of the reasons I enjoy reading you both so much.

I struggle with flow, like a lot of people here in Medium.

I really think you're being too hard on yourself here. Like, newspaper to the back of the head cause you need some cognitive recalibration, kind of hard on yourself.

What is it with you Brits?

Here you go. 🗞️.
