I guess I’m an old fashioned modernist. As you can likely tell from my photo (and it is me, not an NFT), I’ve been on the planet Earth for a while and have seen strange things like rattlesnakes and rotary phones, and have received a great deal of handwritten (or at least typewritten [remember typewriters, anybody?]) cards and letters when paper cards and letters were the principal means of communication.
Yet when the age of glorious internet fell upon us, I was there with hands outstretched to receive its glorious conveniences because I enjoyed the benefits of obtaining information for which I am a glutton without the need to walk down to the physical library on their inconvenient schedule.
And so now I am a hybrid human/electronic creature, made of flesh and IP addresses that feed me information and entertainment and my addictions and my heartshaped notices of new events and happenings while I still 100% relate to the old-school traditions of walking down to the coffee café and reading a paper note from a friend in a far land, and therefore love your idea Minna, if not in cellulose reality at least in spirit.

"A handwritten NFT" - absolute genius explaination 🤣
What a gorgeous idea. Think you’ll love this project - https://onemillionlovelyletters.com/
Love this idea.
I'm already subscribed: where can I pay you the $10 to receive a glorious handwritten NFT?
Did this myself in the early 2000s. I didn’t like the growing ubiquity of computers. I took it further and wrote with a fountain pen, in calligraphy.
I love hand written communication!
I received my first copy of your handwritten newsletter yesterday and my daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed it! I think this is a great idea!
