I subscribe to various Substacks under two different email addresses, I have no idea how that happened. My favorite paid general ones to read are yours, Kerry Madden-Lunsford (you would love her), and Sari Botton. I knew you and Kerry personally and from having done some writing-related stuff together. I wish I knew Sari, not to sound stalky, ha! I also subscribe to writer-y newsletters from Elissa Altman and Summer Brennan. I was subscribing to more stuff about literary writing but that's not where my own energies are right now. I reluctantly paused Maggie Smith because I am not doing a lot of literary work, although I love her.
I tried a bunch of food newsletters free and settled on one that I couldn't live without, Department of Salad. You would love her -- she just got a dog
I also subscribe to two astrology and tarot practitioners, Aliza Kelly and Jenna Kandlec (who grew up evangelical, as I did). It felt important to me to support them for real, ethical takes in that space.
If I had to give all social media up tomorrow but one, Substack is the one I would keep. I am starting my own Florida history substack as soon as I get out from under a feature deadline next week. It's going to be called Royal Palm Review: A Meander through Southwest Florida History. (Is Walk better than Meander??)
Oh thanks! I will check these folks out. I feel like my substack life is just beginning. Only reading a few folks regularly but would like to add more to that list. ❤️
Hi, Spike! Thanks for taking part in this exercise. Definitely going to reflect on your sixth answer, in particular. // Also: hi, Spike's readers! Have an excellent Monday, one and all.
