About Some Things Considered

A Substack Hosted by Sean Murphy

SOME THINGS CONSIDERED is a place to share my thoughts, opinions, and insights on politics, culture, and everything in between. Here, you'll find a mix of topical essays, behind-the-scenes looks at the writing process, and reflections on the issues that matter most to me.

Join me for a deeper dive into the stories and subjects that shape our world.

After maintaining my blog, Murphy’s Law (since the early 00’s!) and creating a newsletter, now seems an opportune time to adapt, evolve, and streamline my observations and essays via Substack. Here, you can also access my podcast (launching July 30), where I’ll be in regular conversation with remarkable people across the artistic, literary, media, and business spectrums (this complements my existing work as Executive Director of 1455 and engagement as a literary and cultural critic).

Since I first began blogging, I’ve believed it’s essential to make my work free and fully accessible. You can buy my books here, but I’ll never charge you to read my occasional ruminations. If you opt for a monthly or annual paid subscription to SOME THINGS CONSIDERED, please know you’ll be supporting not only my own work but also the mission of the non-profit 1455, which provides free content and events year round.
