So after my therapy session a few weeks ago about why I liked writing here so much and how hard it was to translate the norms I was used to in to other places, I kept thinking about how to do what I was trying more effectively. After mulling it for a few days more, I decided that it might be worth trying a different writing project that I controlled, written more in my own voice, but aimed at a different audience.

So I have now have a new bright and shiny Substack to fool around with: Exhibit Asterisk (or Exhibit A*). The focus is going to my ideas about how statistical thinking can apply to the world of true crime, so basically a more topic specific version of what I do here, with the assumption the audience will be a bit less familiar with stats concepts. For now I plan to keep posting in both places, though their may be some cross posting. I am not doing paid subscriptions, because I do not need that kind of pressure in my life, and this is entirely experimental. For all that I rant about this topic, it may turn out I have very little left to say. We’ll see! Anyway, if you’d like to join me over there, the link to the first post is here.

Hope to see you there!
