The app for independent voices

Arches National Park in Utah 😍

I wish Substack had a Pay What You Can option so I could pay a few dollars when I read an article I appreciate instead of only having the option for a $70 year’s subscription. I cannot afford to subscribe to all the writers I appreciate and would like to support in affordable ways.

are you listening?

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.

Mothering, a mess, and a life’s ambition

The great Graham Greene.

Great discussions

Join the most interesting and insightful discussions.

When you hear an old person tell a story for the fifth time…

Let them.

It means it mattered.

And maybe, they just want someone to say, “I’m still listening.”

With love,
