Some thoughts on moving a subscriber list away from Substack - for various reasons, some political, some personal, some about not wanting to give part of my income to venture capitalists - and something very very strange (and a little scary) that has happened as a result of it...

I’ve been wanting to share some of my spooky reads from this month, but the month has really gotten away from me 😭 will try to post later today since it’s okay to be spooky year around and not just seasonally #HorrorCommunity #HorrorSky

For posterity's sake (and bc I'm feeling nostalgic) I'm re-cataloging my annual #31DaysofHorror lists past, present and future 🧵
The lists are as they were when last watched and, looking back, I lowkey love seeing this little labor of love evolve #Horror #HorrorCommunity #Halloween #HorrorSky

The first week of October was a comedy of errors, but better late than never (and perfectly on brand) this year’s #31DaysofHorror theme is: HORROR COMEDY.
I needed a few laughs to offset the screaming given *gestures* everything, so I curated this year’s list with love, light, and FRIGHT in mind.

This is my first year doing #31DaysofHorror on Bluesky so y’all won’t have any idea what I’m talking about, but I decided on horror comedy for this year’s theme at the last minute and I am having so much fun finishing it up rn 😂

Of course people are worried. How can you find another job when there are no jobs? You don’t need a survey to tell you this is a concern, it’s common sense.
In the latest sign of trouble for the U.S. labor market, confidence in the ability to move from one job to another has hit a record low, according to a New York Federal Reserve survey released Monday.

I’m interested in connecting with #recruiters in the #communications and #marketing space who specialize in international placements. I have a couple names, but seeking recs. The job market in the US is bleak, I guess it’s time to look at taking my talents elsewhere! #storytelling #writingcommunity

Both of those stores are wonderful! Vanness is a treasure if you like samples.
I also always shill for Cardinal Pens and Paper, formerly Anderson Pens. Lovely people and great service. (I am not family!)

One of my fave fountain pen inks is discontinued so, I started scouring the internet for bottles to stock up. I ended up ordering from two different small businesses and they both included nice little handwritten notes inside 😭 this is why shopping small matters, y’all. Will drop their info below:

Not sure if they’re discontinuing the colors or what… but if you don’t think I’m scouring the internet to get my hands on as many of the last bottles of this new fountain pen ink I’m obsessed with rn after seeing “final batch” on the company’s website, you’re wrong.

I normally don’t care about writing in my books but I have an exception to the rule on my hands that I know I’m going to want to annotate but do not really want to write in… any non-writing-in-books people have tips? Like, is the answer just sticky notes, or do y’all got some kinda secret?

And I'm finally starting to get the hang of refilling them! Still some smudging, but just a tad on my fingers versus ink everywhere 😆

I have a theory: not only does threads attract all the worst people you know, but it also incentivizes them via the creator program to keep being the worst people you know.
This is especially true for any demographic w a subset of users who already had questionable online etiquette 😅

There is no platform where I see worse writing and publishing advice than Threads. It’s really confounding.

Tell me why I thought I was going to just slap these service offerings up on my website “real quick” when I’ve spent my career telling other folks “that’s not how any of this works” 😂😂
