Comprehensible coverage of the cryptocurrency industry and the broader technology world.

Things about words, stories, voice, tone, and all the things that make them work. Unfiltered wordsing from the spicy(if scattered) brain of Anna Pickard, about how context shapes content, and the power of playing with words.

I write novels. I also write this newsletter.

I read the NYT every day for years and was precisely wrong about how politics works. This is a journal of some learnings as I figure things out.
