In the next few weeks, if all goes according to plan, you will notice some changes around here at SHS. My site will be added to the First Things family of blogs, which should increase our already steadily growing traffic and may—I’m not sure about this—change our look. I believe the site will still be accessible at http://www.wesleyjsmith.com/, but there will also be a link for FT surfers to get to us. I will also post some of what I do here at the FT Blog, often in an abridged entry, as I have been for the last few weeks.
I am most pleased about this: The more of us talking and pondering human exceptionalism and the other issues we deal with here, the more people with which to interact, and I hope, the better your blog-perusing experience will be.
Stay tuned…
Dear Reader,
Can I be direct with you?
War abroad. Socialists on the rise. AI upending human life. Endless uproar online. The modern attention economy doesn’t want readers — it wants users enslaved to the tyranny of the present.
First Things is the antidote: literary excellence, timeless truths, and a fixed point of reference in a culture that has lost its bearings.
But we can’t do it without readers like you.
Our goal: Raise $150,000 by November 1 to sustain First Things in the year ahead.
Your gift anchors readers in the permanent things.
Make your Fall Campaign gift now using the button below.
If you have any questions or would like more information, please contact Giovanni Del Piero, Director of the Editor’s Circle, at gdelpiero@firstthings.com or 212-627-1985.
