Dim and Vague despite pretty accurately representing my personality has so many multiple meanings beyond that that I really do think it is a good title.
Best newsletter so far! Granted, I have not read the pre-substack ones…but, I love the pictures and thoughts here. Totally relate, however, not to the aphantasia thing. You should start an aphantasia support group. Aphantasia Anonymous? haha…ok, I’ll leave now.
Great newsletter. I love wandering around my city looking at those places people ignore. The little things you notice by avoiding the “breathtaking” can be amazing by themselves.
“Dim and Vague” would be a cool name for your autobiography.
Jkjkjk

Check out reddit.com/r/liminalspace - empty spaces often take on a very "liminal" feeling in the right conditions.
An article in the Guardian a few days ago also referenced Marc Augé’s non-places regarding the forever cruises. Interesting stuff:

Flickr has this covered with the Group Banal

Definitely can relate to often thinking of, and being drawn to, these mundane, non-places
Do you dream “dim and vague”? I’m fully aphantasia but dream very vividly… always thought that odd…
Mostly yes. I have occasionally had vivid dreams but they are rare.
I’m like a 4.75 so I’m just vague.
