I write a blog on etymology, have been for 13 years. I usually draw my topics from news. No Substack. No video. No monetization. Strictly no AI. I pay to keep it ad-free. Visit? Get the content—no hoops. You can subscribe, but I'm not in your face about it. Just a guy doin' a thing: mashedradish.com
