Welcome to the 108th edition of Content Nausea. You can read No. 107 right here. Please let me know what you think. Thank you for being here. Here is the welcome blog.
Hello, I’m back. I’ve got some ideas to hopefully make this newsletter more fun and recurring over the second half of this year. The past couple of months were busy and what not — I’ve gotten very bad at watering my plants — but hopefully we’re turning over a new leaf today. We’ll see.
Some content I wrote this week
Most of the stuff I’ve written in the past month that’s been notable is behind the paywall, so I won’t link it here. (Subscribe!)
Some content I listened to this week
A couple songs that ended up in the very half-hearted monthly playlists I’ve tried to make in the past few months:
New Beach Fossils, Jason Isbell, Wednesday and Indigo de Souza albums have also gotten some real good run from me in the past couple months. Maybe I’ll have some more to write in the coming weeks about some of these songs and albums.

Some other content I saw or thought about this week
This section has really fallen off since Twitter made it so you can’t embed tweets here, and I’m too lazy to screenshot tweets and then upload them here. I don’t know if that’s really in the spirit of things, either.
Thank you for reading the 108th edition of Content Nausea. It will get better. Thank you, and see you soon.
