The most reliable way to find out when I write something new is to become a subscriber.

Every month or so I’ll send you a newsletter with personal observations, new work, and links to things and people I find interesting. It’s less news and more letter; a little touchpoint to remind you that you’re not alone on this weird journey.

I only share some of what I write on social media, and social media algorithms only share some of what I write. This blog is my home, and my subscribers are my community of readers. You’re invited to join.

Subscribe using the box at the top of the sidebar or at the bottom of any blog post. It’s free, private, and you can unsubscribe any time.
