Genius Loci

Genius Loci is a monthly newsletter where Jeremy reflects on his creative life, including the nitty-gritty of how he builds it with a newborn at home. I do love pieces that strip away the romantic idea of "creativity" and show the unglamorous, seemingly dull existence of folks who’ve taken to making something—anything, really.

Through his newsletter, he also shares nourishing bits of what to see, read, and explore around topics he cares about: writing, travel, and photography.

good reads — July 17, 2026

“Shelfie” playfully combines “selfie” and “shelf,” as in a collection of books on a shelf. It shows you what's there in a way an algorithm or a "best of the best" list never will. Now here's a newsletter entirely made up of them.

Root of All

money — July 5, 2026

Perfect Sentences

good reads — June 13, 2026

A Sunday newsletter by writer Ingrid Burrington that curates the best sentences she and readers find across the web, each linking to essays, posts, or hidden gems that gently nudge me away from doomscrolling and toward better prose.

Dark Properties

ecology — June 6, 2026

A beautiful, well-kept garden. That’s what I think of Willa’s newsletter, Dark Properties. Here's how the editor-gardener sums up her project: "a future-focused newsletter connecting personal and planetary ecologies."
