The app for independent voices

When it’s cold enough to see the melody

Last week was the due date for the fourth baby we hoped to adopt. The baby passed away months ago, but my heart hasn’t quite let go. This week, I am sharing about the complicated emotions we experienced about this adoption, both before and after the loss.

Hallo

Today I start using Substack

I used to like Twitter but always felt very constrained by the 144 limit

This brought problems for the irony-challenged, who misunderstood a lot of what I was trying to say

This is a particular problem for me because I seem to be regarded as ‘on the left’ by people on the right, and' ‘on the right’ by people on the left

Apparently this makes me controversial, and therefore box office poison

You made it, you own it

You always own your intellectual property, mailing list, and subscriber payments. With full editorial control and no gatekeepers, you can do the work you most believe in.

I now have 6,000-ish followers on Notes who don’t subscribe to my Substack. I’ve seen some writers who find this sort of thing annoying, but I’m happy anyone keeps any kind of eye on my work. Hi, everyone.

Great discussions
