I have nothing against art (I do landscape photography myself), but Substack Reads is over-promoting meta art content (essays about art, cartoons, paintings) on a platform about writing and learning! A lot of space is squandered that could highlight a broader array of content on the platform. There should be a meta section on Writing (essays about writing), yes. Not cartoons. Not painting. Not photography. Margaret Atwood's hilarious piece on dust-ups with trade editors should have been in this issue. I feel like there is no 'plan' (one based on the math of what is actually read) for Substack Reads and it feels like a dilettantish personal selection from Substack editors who live in NY and are into art.
Love all these recs! Here’s mine for recently launched: my newsletter, the Doomer Dispatch, strives to make climate change news accessible and interesting to a younger or less climate-inclined audience. I try to spur doomers into doers by keeping them informed and engaged every Friday. Thanks!
These are all great! I write I'm Really Very Literary, a slice-of-life-newsletter where I offer a peak into life's questions big and small and how the things I read and listen to inspire creativity and thought. I'm inspired by those going paid this week! I've been contemplating how I might offer premium content to my readers.
Substack is the first platform I’ve been excited about in a DECADE. Personally I love that community is building around more niche topics. I’ve just deleted Instagram and never enjoyed Twitter, Substack feels calming in a way those platforms just continually felt like dopamine hits. I love that I can write about style, life and art alongside the greatest writers of our time.
Thank you for these posts. I never know what I’m going to write about. This Saturday morning I woke up thinking about work ethics and decided to write a little something therein. Substack makes this easy and personal. My message is delivered to my subscriber list and makes its way to other sources, first is all, Substack. Hope you check me out.
Substack has so many surprise turns and suddenly shocking tour guides it reminds me of visits to the Fun House at the San Francisco beach when I was a child. Thanks.
Wow, love this edition - the experience of this curation is like looking through a few different windows, or maybe the pools of Narnia and you can glimpse and keep walking or you can jump in to experience that world.

Love Laura Pashby’s Substack! So glad that she received a recommendation here ♥️
Lots of great reads, as usual👍
From the past week, here are a few pieces I thought were fantastic:
Facebook is toast, probably, even though there is a solution (but Substack have discovered it!):

And this was a bruising and morally clear- eyed read on the USAand Vietnam:

As was this by Timothy Snyder:

Are there any fellow Finnish expats out here? Would love to read and follow.
It’s always nice and refreshing to see a new group every week with very diverse topics. Can’t wait to dig into some of these authors.
Thank you so much for the feature! ⭐️
