Yeow. Apparently replying with a thumbs-up emoji to a photograph of a contract can be as legally binding as *signing the contract*, at least in some circumstances.

I will probably regret this later, but... I'd like to publish an indie science magazine!
At least one issue anyway, we'll see how it goes. 😅
Details:
So for a long time I've wanted a way to showcase other cool science creators (on YT, blogs, etc) and also share papers and academic work I'm reading.
I've considered starting a podcast, or writing an email newsletter, or a segment on the channel. But none have felt "right"
Someone jokingly suggested a physical newsletter. It stuck in my brain and evolved into
- Quarterly magazine
- Topics in mat. sci, optics, micro fab, manufacturing, high vac, etc
- Blurbs about hobby projects & videos
- Summaries of papers
- Interviews w/ Creators & academics
It could easily be digital, but frankly I like to read paper media. It's nice to sit in a hammock and read a magazine or book, yunno? I have enough screen time in my life.
Goal is 20-40 pages, nice paper, full color. Trade magazine or maybe digest size? $15-25 USD?
i'm not denying the tension it causes, especially for users who feel pressure to re-home right after settling in somewhere. but, i can't help feeling like people aren't articulating what's actually on their mind when they object on these grounds, or their motivations for being on social media are fundamentally different from mine
i mused about some of this last year, but there's a dynamic i didn't predict and still struggle to empathize with
