Welcome to Erratic Attempts, a blog about culture and politics. Nothing here is supposed to be perfect, nothing final, everything up for eventual rethinking.
This substack is a variant of my blog erraticattempts.com, and intertwined with its parent site, philjohn.com, containing my poetry, photography, music and an older blog.
