Why ezra indited?
Who wants to read longform on a weekday when the weekends are as short as a paycheck? Maybe I’m spitting in the wind. Or maybe you see what I see–a complicated world, constantly changing. Sometimes the changes add a dash of convenience and a dose of comfort to our lives. Many times, the changes are the reason we seek more convenience and comfort in the first place. What’s the deal? How do we deal? The contradictions are many. But I don’t think you’re here just for me to point them out. Many great writers are already doing that work. In writing these stories, I hope to better understand myself in the context of culture, society, and history. In reading these stories, I hope you can do the same. Here, I’ll post reviews (books, tv, film, art), interviews, revelations, and insights. I’ll share my favorite things—what I’m reading, cooking, watching, and listening to. My photography and music. My travels. My challenges. My intention here is to interrogate myself with such clarity that reading this letter feels like looking in a mirror. Maybe we grow alongside one another. You, reader. Me, writer. This newsletter isn’t about all the ways society has failed us but how we save ourselves when society fails. indite (transitive verb) a: MAKE UP, COMPOSE b: to give literary or formal expression to c: to put down in writing
Indite looks like a misspelling of its homophone “indict,” meaning "to charge with a crime," and that's no mere coincidence. Although the two verbs are distinct in current use, they are in fact related etymologically. Indite is the older of the two; it has been in the English language since the 1300s. Indict, which came about as an alteration of indite, appeared in the 16th century. Ultimately, both terms come from Latin indicere, meaning "to make known formally" or "to proclaim," which in turn comes from in- plus dīcere, meaning "to talk, speak, or say."
