From the email that subscribers to the Disquiet Junto project announcement list will receive early tomorrow, Thursday, December 11:
This coming Saturday, December 13, will mark the 29th anniversary of when I founded disquiet.com, my blog — though in 1996, of course, that word didn’t exist yet. That’s the year I moved to San Francisco from Sacramento, to which I’d moved from Brooklyn seven years earlier, a year out of college, to start a job as an editor at the music magazines published by Tower Records. That’s a lot of years, and a lot of music, and a lot of words.
Meanwhile, the Junto is coming up on its 14th anniversary, as of the first week of January 2026 — meaning around this time next year, we’ll be looking right into the 30th anniversary of the site, and the 15th of this community. For which I have much to be thankful. And which is to say, thanks, as always, for your generosity with your time, creativity, and curiosity.
